Two giants of cinema, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, team up to bring Hergé's comic book characters to life. The Secret of the Unicorn is the first film in a proposed Tintin trilogy.
Belgian reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell) finds a clue to an ancient treasure that belonged to Captain Haddock's (Andy Serkis, aka Gollum) ancestors. Together, with the help of intelligent mutt Snowy and Detective Thompson and Thomson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost), they set out on a high seas adventure to recover the family fortune. But on their tail and after the same treasure is the dastardly Ivanovich Sakharine (Daniel Craig).
Tintin uses Weta Digital's motion capture to bring the actors to life. Says Jackson: “We're making them look photorealistic; the fibers of their clothing, the pores of their skin and each individual hair. They look exactly like real people – but real Hergé' people.”
The story combines elements from three Tintin books: The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure.
This is a fantastic film, enjoyable and entertaining for children and adults alike. The motion capture animation is visually stunning, and looks even better in 3D. This film works great on-screen, whilst still retaining the spirit on the books. It is well-written, well-paced, and the voice actors do an amazing job. Buy it.
Havn't watched the 3D bluray yet because I don't have a 3D tv. But it come with a normal BluRay and a DVD, so I'm future proofing. The bonus “making of” clips are cool and interesting. I used to read the books and the this is a good movie with lots of action and AWESOME digital effects from WETA.
