Rango Review



For the first post on this blog, I decided to do a review on the movie Rango. As soon as I saw the trailer for this movie, I knew I wanted to see it. Though I never got around to see it in the theater, I did buy it on Bluray. I must say that this is by far the most highly detailed animated film I have ever seen. The way the characters stride or even just how the hair or feathers lay looks so realistic.

            If you have no idea what Rango is about, then here’s the synopsis: 

“Rango is a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt - a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures - the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt...” -- (C) Paramount

            One of the main things that got me interested in watching this movie was how they recorded the audio for each scene. Gore Verbinski would take all the actors that were in the scene being recorded and they would be in a soundstage with a partially put up set to give the actors some reference. It also helps the actor really interact with the environment that their character is in. Not only did this technique help for the better of the sound of the movie but it allowed the actors to interact with each other when the normal way of recording dialogue for an animated film is done in a tiny sound proof room with just a microphone and a podium.  


            Rango not only looks fantastic, but it also has a great storyline and great humor for any type of person. It is a smart comedy with non-stop slapstick humor and also a deep emotional rollercoaster that the character Rango rides. Rango is a great movie to watch with your family, a group of friends, or even by yourself. It will keep you entertained the entire time.
