The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl is the latest creation from Robert Rodriguez who, just three short months ago, delivered one of the most visually dazzling movies in recent memory in the form Frank Millers ultra violent Sin Urban center. With this current photographic film however, Rodriguez is back in family-friendly mode (as he was with the Spy Kids franchise). And in fact, this painting was actually inspired (and co-developed) by Rodriguezs hexad year erstwhile son Racer. Those Rodriguez are a creative lot.
This phantasy features young Max (played by Cayden Boyd), a kid with one infernal region of a vivid imaginativeness. When hes not being picked on by the school bully (Jacob Davich) or having run-ins with his parents (David Arquette and Kristin Davis), he spends most of his time writing in his dream journal. Of all the wild concoctions from his dream world, the most prominent are Sharkboy (a toughened pre-teen with sharp teeth, a fin on his back, and amazing fighting skills) and Lava Girlfriend (a cunning youngster with fiery red hair and the exponent to melt more than your gist). The deuce make up a dynamic duo wHO have quite a cut record of saving the day.
When a deep "darkness" threatens to destroy Sharkboy (Taylor Launter) and Lava Girls (Taylore Dooley) demesne, they make no choice but to seek out their creators help. So, young Grievous bodily harm is pressed into inspection and repair - actually whisked by to Sharkboy and Lava Girls world, where he comes face to face with a bizarre electro-villain (played by George Lopez), a unusual creature with a dastardly plan.
The big draw for the youngsters will most likely be the 3-D arrange - which much of this picture takes spot in. Kids really love this clobber. Spy Thomas Kyd 3-D was the to the highest degree profitable of that dealership, so Rodriguez decided to take another whack at it. Unluckily, we have the old blue and red lens technique fashioning what would normally be a bright, vibrant public appear far too mirky and dark. Of course none of the kids at the screening I attended seemed to mind much. Immediately following the movie, they were all running around in the lobby with their spectacles on as if theyd been granted extraordinary powers. And for the children, thats what its all about-a good time.
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl wears its various themes on its sleeve. This is a movie close to standing up for yourself and watching your friends back - but for the most part, its around the importance of dreaming. After all, if Henry M. Robert Rodriguez hadnt followed his dreams, he probably wouldnt be creating all these magical cinematic adventures in his have backyard. Whats more, this maverick film maker encourages his own children to get in on the act, and I in person think thats a terrific notion.
The digital dream landscape Rodriguez has created has a few bright spots to speak of including a milk and cookie river and a roller coaster that never stops, forcing its riders to stay on forever. The actual plot seam of the movie recalls Wolfgang Petersons wonderful 80s fantasy The Neverending History in which a knock-down "nothing" rips through a fantastic world, destroying everything in its wake.
The edward Young performers in the picture appear to be having a terrific time playing in Rodriguezs amazing cinematic playground, peculiarly Launter world Health Organization actually possesses some pretty amazing gymnastic skills. Regrettably, however, The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl is somewhat the rush job. Its altogether evident that the moving picture was hastily slapped together. Not only in damage of actual production clock time, but in the written material process as well. At that place are clever moments to be found here -including a "brain" storm sequence and other cunning inventions, simply these moments are few and far between. You really pay back the feeling that this film just wasnt given the time to develop and mature.
Still, I have a lot of respect for this talented film god Almighty. He actually knows how to shoot quickly and efficiently. And its clear hes establish his own sanctuary. He can do what he wants when he wants, and I give him props for encouraging his family to be a part of his process.
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl is strictly for the jr. crowd (5-11). It was clearly inspired by the likes of The Neverending Story, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Manufactory, and infinite other kin films, only unlike those pictures, this one will most likely appeal to children rather than the children in all of us. It has its moments but one too many slow patches stay fresh it from being worthy of a full recommendation.
