Treasure Planet (2002) Review

 

Treasure Planet was one wild ride from beginning to end. The story is excellent and the characters dynamic. It took hold of you and squeezed onto you never loosening its grasps, not even once.  The progress of their character development shifted along with the story. Nothing was set in absolutes. Their movements were fluid as was their motivation.

The story was amazing, as well. It kept you on your toes, never letting you know what was going to happen and constantly kept you guessing. The interaction of the characters were believable and three dimensional. Throwing the occasional curveball and leaving you surprised and guessing.

This was a beautiful film in its art style. The colors are dark and yet vibrant. From their engine propelling their ships to the galaxies and supernovas throughout their journey. There was always something to look at and something to excite and compel you to see more. You spend a lot of time just awaiting what was next. It never failed to surprise and left you in a sense of wonder.

In short, this film was a masterpiece. How it led you by the hand without explicitly showing what was ahead. This is a movie that you feel and it is a feeling that you won’t soon forget.
