GET, SET AND GO: To a fun packed adventure with Tin-tin


By: Aishwarya Kadam


THE OFFICIAL POSTER
Running time: 1 hr 47 min


Story: When Tintin (Jamie Bell) buys the Unicorn, a showpiece boat from the flea market for a pound, little does he know the model is part of an unsolved puzzle.

With the help of Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis), Tin-tin solves the mystery and finds the treasure trove. But all along the adventure, danger threatens in the form of the evil Sakharine (Daniel Craig) who is hell bent on getting the boat and wreaking his ancestral vengeance against the Haddocks. 

Being a fan of any director, actor, or character can prove to be difficult most of the times. The urge to watch the movie before anyone else, can make you do stuff  like bunking college, miss important lectures and you still feel elated with the feeling of being there and watching it first. 21st December, the day I had been eagerly waiting for. This was the day, my favourite comic character; Tin-Tin was going to be released in 3D. And mind it, all those Tin-tin fans out there; this is one movie you cannot afford to miss, for sure.

The adventures of Tin-tin is a visual bliss, not to mention extremely entertaining. The 3D effects have surely added to the delight and pleasure. Those you have followed the television series and most importantly read the original comic series by Herge, will be able to relate to it better. But even for those who are unaware of Tin-tin, and are going to watch it for the first time, I assure you, you won’t come out of the hall disappointed.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson, and written by Steven MoffatEdgar Wright and Joe Cornish, the film is based on three of the original comic books: The Crab with the Golden Claws (1941), The Secret of the Unicorn (1943), and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944).

All the actors have performed brilliantly! Daniel Craig as Sakharine, Jamie Bell as Tintin, and Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock, each actor has performed to perfection.

What you wouldn’t want to miss in the film would be the chase through a Moroccan city of Bagghar that involves a gushing dam, an adamant hawk, a runaway tank, a drunkard captain and a disintegrating motorcycle! Also, watch out for the amazing transitions done between the scenes. From bullets to swords, from ships to cars to scooters to planes, the movie is a perfect blend of newness and vintages. You may feel it getting a little stretched at times, but don’t hesitate to give it a watch, it deserves at least one chance to be watched.
