With Rango being released a few days ago I thought it was about time I went to see it. However, its blend of classic western and surreal animation made it a completely new experience.
My initial thoughts for the film were that it shouldn't disappoint with Johnny Depp and Bill Nighty starring and Gore Verbinski directing.
But I didn't expect it to be as bizarre as it turned out. The film was verging on dystopian with the little town of Dirt nearing extinction from running out of their water supply and little chameleon Rango (Depp) trying to discover his purpose in life as he experiences bizarre hallucinations.
This theme was carried through with fantastic animation. All the characters were extremely bizarre and diverse, whilst representing the archetypes of any good western with a frightening snake gunman (Nighty) whose tail is a machine gun as well as a tiny rat child with big eyes.
It also incorporated classic moments from films such as Apocalypse Now, which gave it a different edge of comedy as well as that of the slapstick variety to please the younger members of the audience (and admittedly myself).
The films combination of the darker surreal tones with the more light-hearted PG moments makes it a film worth your effort if you are craving something that little bit different.
