Where? Theatre
What's the story?: Angus, a young Scottish boy, finds an enchanted egg. Taking it home, he soon finds himself face-to-face with an amazing creature: the mythical "water horse" of Scottish lore. Angus begins a journey of discovery, facing his greatest fears and risking his life to protect a secret that would give birth to a legend.
My Review: The posters say 'The most wonderous film of its kind since the ET'. I quite agree to that since the film serves audiences of all age groups. The special effects are brilliant and are what I would term as 'perfect'. Movies like these generally make for a good watch but one thing that's really frustrating is the amount of kids in the cinema hall. And trust me, their laughter and screams will literally screw your brains. However, the experience was pretty smooth as compared to Harry Potter, where a kid seated behind us was constantly blabbering "Harry Potterla kay jhaale?". Damn!
So how much do I rate it? 3/5
