‘Hugo’ FILM
‘Hugo’

Even if you absolutely hate children and family-friendly movies, you’ll want to see Hugo. What director Martin Scorsese does with a 3-D camera is revelatory. The depth of field he creates is remarkable, forming a window into a dense world approximately 900 times as beautiful as our own. As the orphaned title character runs through a 1930s train station in Paris, evading a delightfully Peter Sellers–ish security guard and trying to solve a mystery that stretches back to the dawn of cinema, you just can’t stop gawking at the movie history that’s unfurling before your eyes in real time. (See Movie Times) by Paul Constant

..and by the way.. the last we checked it was only showing in 3d at the meridian downtown.. while i would guess it's loveliness shines through in 2d it's a shining exanple of what's possible when the right director has the vision and restraint to not beat you over the head with cgi..

Hugo is a terribly boring movie with a girl who makes really annoying expressions. Do NOT waste your time and money on this!

I felt like I was sitting through a two hour long version of MGM's "The Great Movie Ride." Great looking but boring. The story was so blah.
