Well this was a nice surprise, I picked up the Blu-ray in a second hand shop for $10 a while ago. The thing was I had never heard of this movie, but seeing it was in 3D as well as 2D I would watch it sometime in the future.
The movie is a French/Canadian production, with most of the filming taking place in Canada. One scene I thought was very clever, was when young T.S.Spivet played by Kyle Catlett is begining the start on his train journey. The only way to stop the train, is by climbing up to the light with a red marker pen and colour the white to red, to make the train stop.
After watching this movie I could not help to try to figure out what audience its really aimed at. This thinking of mine goes back to the time I worked at the cinema. As well as the projection, plus doing the weekly schedule. I was involved in picking out the films to screen, so it was always a challenge to tie the film with a particular audience, everything has to match up.. the film.. the time of screening... the type of audience, that kind of thing.
"T.S.Spivet" is a hard one to match, its not really a kids film due to some, if only a couple of lines of bad language. The rating here is "M" suitable for mature audiences 16 years and over.
Anyway I don't think it had much of a release in the US, I did read only in a few cinemas and only in 2D.
Thankfully "Madman" in Australia have released it in both formats, and I must say the 3D is really something. Overall its a good movie and with a over the top strong colors on the train journey across the land it looks fantastic. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
"T.S. Spivet" was made in 3D and the screen results highlights this right through the movie, its a real treat.
I thought the cast and everyone did a great job. One of the things that got me I thought was really neat, was the start of the end credits, where we move into a view-master. The card is dropped in and as it clicks around you see the credits in 3D....all clever stuff.
