The Lego Movie (2014)
Country: AUS/US/DK
Technical: col/2.35:1 100m
Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
Cast: Voicecast: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman
Synopsis:
A construction worker accidentally gets co-opted into an effort to save Legoland from the conformist machinations of President Business.
Review:
This off-the-wall mishmash of bits of Star Wars, Batman and Bruce Almighty actually turns out to be much more than that. Like Toy Story before it, the film uses its opportunistic marketing ontology to say something more profound, in this case about creativity versus conformity. Meanwhile the makers have enormous fun with the knowingness of it all, and in the process kickstarted a form of movie-making everybody could have a go at in their homes and stick on Youtube.
