‘Epic’ (2013) PG - 102 min - Animation | Adventure | Family - 24 May 2013 (USA) SYNOPSIS: A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world -- and ours. It’s refreshing to see a film like ‘Epic’, which actually packs a real story, along with some gorgeous imagery. In ‘Epic’, Mary Katherine M.K. (Amanda Seyfried) is a teenage girl whose mother has just died, and she’s been shipped off to the middle of nowhere to live with her father, a mad scientist named Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis). He’s obsessed with proving that there are tiny little people living in the forest, who are a crucial part of the ecosystem and move too fast for humans to see unaided. This film is visually quite ‘Epic’. For a movie where there are three separate worlds that need to feel real and distinct — the “real” world, the world of the Leafmen and flower people, and the revolting decaying world of the Boggans — the
contrasts between different textures and surfaces is absolutely essential, and brilliantly done. ‘‘Epic’’ does have some nice comic relief in the form of a slug named Mub (Aziz Ansari) and a snail named Grub (Chris O’Dowd). Seeing these two characters interact with one another gives the film some of its best moments. Another inspired casting choice that comes out of left field is Steven Tyler as Nim Galuu, a caterpillar who is kind of the Yoda of this story. Having the lead singer of Aerosmith and former judge of American Idol voicing this character seems a little weird at first, but once you see Nim in his element, it makes perfect sense. ‘Epic’ is a fun fantasy adventure that you can take your kids to without cringing. And in a time when we’re being saturated with reimagined fairytales, this is a movie that treats its fairytale elements lightly and with a certain amount of cleverness. This is the second movie in the past six months from children’s book author William Joyce, who also gave us the quite decent Rise of the Guardians. (If you liked Guardians, you’ll like this, too.) This time around, Joyce is not only writing and producing, he’s the film’s production designer. ‘Epic’ isn’t just a good kids’ movie, it’s also a good fantasy film in which the origin of a hero is done well and heroism. ‘Epic’ actually lives up to its title, and might wind up being one of the summer’s better action-adventure films. On a scale of 1-10, I give this one a 8 My 2¢ -B
