The most stunning 3-D drama ever filmed. From the mesmerizing opening scene of a snowy France in 1930s, it zooms into the rows of building windows, passing through people on the platform of a train station, capturing the vibrancy of a marketplace with bustling cafe and shops, jazz music and colorful flowers. The sweeping view of wintry Paris from the clock tower is truly wondrous. One caveat - don't expect an action-packed adventure or epic fantasy. It's an imaginative fable, but it's a full-length drama, told from the eyes of a lonely orphan facing the harsh reality to survive and trying to piece together clues left by the untimely death of his father. Surprisingly, it's a dual-story, interconnected to a piece of cinematic history. "Hugo" is a love note to cinema.
