Planes

After months without going to the movies, today we went back again. The cinema in West Mall used to be Eng Wah but now it was renovated and is run by Cathay Cineplexes. The theatres are really improved with better screens, sound quality and seats.

We saw the movie Planes with the kids and were quite pleased. If you liked Cars then you will likely enjoy Planes since the whole story is mostly the same with planes replacing cars. Dusty Crophopper is a cropduster plane designed to work in the corn fields. He dreams to be a racer. After weeks of training he participates of the qualifiers and get ridiculised by the competition. With a bit of luck he makes it to the world tournament. After a sloppy start, he improves over the races and gets the respect of other planes and supporters. The ending is quite expected.  The story evolves with nice pace to follow and understand, the visual effects are well done. The kids loved the movie and we had great fun.

We give 4 out of 5 for Planes.
