movie review - Wreck-It Ralph

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.05.16

I watched this with my son for "movie night". It's about a video game character from the 8-bit days who longs to see the world outside his game (after forty-fifty years?). So he heads out to the other games in the store and has some adventures. And then he becomes involved in the strange case of a displaced royal lineage in one of the games.

It's an original idea and executed well. I liked the characters and found the voice acting appealing. John C Reilly is one of those actors who throws everything into his work, it's infectious.

Recommended. But beware: Sarah Silverman.
