How to Train Your Dragon in 3D – A Really great 3D Animation

Posted on 08 April, 2010 under Roaming & Ramblings with 3 Comments

Critics are saying its delivers a much better 3D experience than Avatar, so I had to go see it. A lot of peers who saw the Avatar in 3D were saying that it was a great 3D movie and indeed it was because, according to BoxOfficerMojo.com, the movie pulled a whopping $50.3 million, breaking the record for biggest fourth weekend gross previously held by Titanic’s $28.7 million.

When I heard reviews on the internet saying “How to train your Dragon 3D” is a better 3D experience I had to go see it. As a lover of animated films I was really looking forward to the start of the movie, I just have to say to Palace Multiplex in Montego Bay, Jamaica. “What the hell is wrong with you guys, I come to your theater to watch a movie, not to see 30 minutes worth of advertisements! God!!!”.

The movie started with a short clip which really showcased what 3D is really like, the audience was astonished with some ooohhhs and ahhhs coming from all around. The entire movie is based on the 2003 book of the same title, I didn’t know that until I did some research online, the main character in the movies is a young Viking teenager named “Hiccup” who aspires to follow his tribe’s tradition of becoming a dragon slayer. After finally capturing his first dragon, and with his chance at finally gaining the tribe’s acceptance, he finds that he no longer has the desire to kill it and instead befriends it.

Hiccup is always being laughed at because of his size, knowing that Vikings are usually of a immense built body. Hiccup happens to be the son of the Chief, Stoick the Vast, on the island of Berk. Hiccup’s village is beset by dragons which keep raiding their stock of sheep. He knows he is not strong enough to battle dragons so he makes up for that with his inventions, one of which he used to capture his first dragon which he later named Toothless. Toothless is one of the rarest dragon called a Night Fury with a bolas cannon, no Viking has ever seen one, all they know is that it is the fastest Dragon and no one has ever seen one and lived to tell.

After capturing Toothless, Hiccup realized he didn’t have the guts to kill the dragon so he released him, they later became friends and Hiccup became the first viking to fly on a dragon. For full details on the Movie, follow this link to Wikipedia.

My Conclusion
How to Train Your Dragon in 3D, definitely offers a much better 3D experience than Avatar. I don’t regret the ten dollars I spent to see the movie. Dreamworks really did their utmost best on the 3D effects, is there a part 2 coming soon?
