Movie Review (Kathlyn Caballero)

Jason and the Argonauts

          This movie is very astonishing to watch for it is a kind of movie that will make your eyes fascinated to the scenes and the effects. I recommend everyone to watch this kind of movie. It will teach you lessons and will inspire you to have more courage in every goal you want to achieve.

          This movie explains how Jason, the main character, and the Argonauts struggle to get the golden fleece. It also explain why did they have to get that and how is it possible for a young man to survive in that kind of quest. The story starts on the palace where Jason lives and the soldiers of Pelias attack the family of Jason. When he grew up, he strive to see his mother. He take the risk of getting the golden fleece for his birth right. Jason create a group, known as the Argonauts, to help him on his quest. Luckily, Jason and his group, finished all of the quests and bring the fleece to Pelias. This movie will teach us to strive for what we want and do all that we can to have it. It also teach us to love and trust our parents and our friends and do what we can to save and take care of them.

          The actors in the scenes are really good. The makers of this film used real humans for the characters of the movie will become more realistic and be portray well. Jason London is very good looking and fit to the character of Jason. He acts well and even delivering his lines. It's good that the makers used Brian Thompson as Hercules because as the people know, he have muscles and when you look at him, you will not be shock if he push the boat back to the water all by himself. All of the cast are good and really did well at this film.

          When they cut scenes, they make sure that every actor will be seen and they cut it chronologically. At the first scenes, they used war to be more suspense and for the audience's attention to be catch. And they make sure that the scenes are understandable and make a good look for the audience.

          They use loud music for the audience to be more focus like at the first scene of the movie. They used sound effects of crowd people, running people, very loud music so that everyone will enjoy the scene and will the eagerness to finish the movie. They are very detail at the sound effects like when Phrixus eat the leaf, the makers used sound effects of a man eating so that the scene will be more realistic. They also make sure that the music they will use is fit to the scenes and make a suspense feeling for the audience.

          They always put light on top of the actors when it's dark so that the viewers will know what they're doing behind the darkness. Sometimes, I don't like the background of some scenes because it's obvious that the background is animated and not real. Sometimes, they shake the camera when it's war to be more realistic and the viewer's attention will focus more on the scenes.
