The LEGO Movie

‘Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you’re part of a team’. These song lyrics have been embedded into my brain from watching The Lego Movie. With a simple plot line of a builder who is enrolled to become the ‘special one’ and save many galaxies from the evil LEGO villain, Lord Business. Of course it ended happily.

Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks and Chris Pratt are only a few of the well known actors that participated in this film. Just these actors alone illustrate the comedy element, that did pay off. The characters fast pace talking was a comedy element in itself. It connoted a sense of excitement and enthusiasm from the protagonist, Chris Pratt, who was the voice of Emmet.

*SPOILER ALERT* An unexpected twist was included in the story. The animated film suddenly became real life. A father and a son and the LEGO cities, that were included in the animation, were suddenly brought into the real world. It must have taken the set designers weeks or even months to create the entire landscape of the LEGO movie from LEGO pieces, it is a sight to see, absolutely fantastic.

The graphics for this film were indescribable. It has been in production since 2008. The effort and computer generation effects for the film are not to go unmissed.

Definitely a must see film.
