TODDLER'S TREASURE

First, we were enchanted with the gallant pig named Babe. That movie is a classic when it comes to talking animals. Take note it was even nominated in the Oscars for Best Picture. Few years ago a beloved classic book was also made into a film. I remember weeping inside the cinema while watching Charlotte's Web. Both films are still safe in my treasure chest called “Jishcand's Fav Movies of All Time”. This year a blockbuster movie that features talking animals again and guess what they are more hi-tech and they are not just farm animals on celluloid . They are even pampered via 3D-Technology too. The question is: am I goin' to keep G-Force in my chest. Nah...probably some toddler's treasure chest out there.



FILM PREMISE: Darwin is the squad leader of G-Force, a small, top secret group of highly trained guinea pigs armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, working in a secret government program. Other members of the team are Blaster , an outrageous weapons expert with attitude; the sexy, long-lashed martial arts pro Juarez ; star-nosed computer-brains mole Speckles and a reconnaissance-expert fly. The trouble is, Kip Killian and the rest of the FBI want to shut the unit that Dr Ben and Marcie have created. So G-Force has to prove itself in the field and acquire evidence against Leonard Saber , who is using his electronics company for evil intentions.



G-Force is simply a family movie created for little kids. Two recent family movies released this summer such as Aliens In The Attic and Shorts failed to capture my heart and the last one annoyed me the most. G-Force is more deserving to be watched. Watching these guinea pigs is quiet amusing. Unfortunately , the story is lame but the gadgets we are going see here are the saving grace. The villain is not that hateful. It's really tiring to see a predictable common twist again. Obviously, this is inspired from Mission Impossible movies and they do a terrific job when it comes to manic scenes. The youngsters may probably get lost with some lines from the script which are actually comprehensible only by the adults but it's still copacetic coz Bruckheimer knows how to tease the kids' optic nerves. . G-Force offers a lot of kinetic visuals which are really enjoyable. Just imagine G-Force vs Transformers! The car chase at the latter part is also awesome!



Nicolas Cage has a huge billing in the poster but his voice is hard to discern in this movie. It's surprising to see his name during the end credits as the voice of Speckles the star-nosed mole. Nicolas Cage is amazing that he changed the tone of his voice. His weird voice fits perfectly with Speckles. It's a little bit disappointing to hear the voice of Sam Rockwell as Darwin the Leader. He is supposed to be energetic but he sounds clueless most of the time. Tracy Morgan from 30 Rock rocks the house!!! He is Blaster and his delivery is hilariously blasting . Penelope Cruz's voice as Juarez is very axiomatic coz of her accent but some lines from her are quiet hard to understand. I agree that she steals some limelight from the rest. I'm just surprised to see a very normal Zach Galifianakis in this movie. He really proves that he is not only capable of playing a very eccentric character but he can also be sweet and modest sometimes.



G-Force is a safe family movie and it's not offensive for the kids. Disney movies mostly are tearjerker but this one seems artificial. They want some tears from the audience but they certainly fail on that. Even though this blockbuster is not actually great but these guinea pigs beat Harry Potter last summer in the box office. I really wanted to be cruel with these pets for killing the magic of the boy wizard but after watching them I think this furry force is a little cuddly to me. Thanks to the 3D Technology.
