Come see Rango presented with stunning 4k laser projection on the big screen in L3!

"It only takes one bullet". Rango! A strange, animated venture into the wild west. A film by the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, animated in almost a stop motion style and about an animal society headed by a fish out of water lizard. Nothing about it should work but everything here does, and it works well. So well in fact that it took home Best Animated Picture at the academy awards, beating such classics as the great Kung Fu Panda 2 and similarly western Puss in Boots. What an achievement, and it deserves it so. This is truly a fantastic film.

The most notable thing about it is the unique style of animation. The viscerally dirty and mildly uncanny animation looks absolutely incredible, with amazing 3D designs for all the characters involved. Unlike any other animated film, the voice cast assembled on practical sets to record their dialogue, being able to play off each other the way other films of this nature can't. It's to this film’s credit that it does this, helping make the dynamics of all the characters and their conflicts click all the more. A seriously entertaining story occurs as well, exploring themes of becoming who you want to be as well as corruption and globalisation's effect on natural habitats, all set within this anthropomorphised western town of dirt. As is said in this film, "No man can walk out of his own story", and you should not walk away from this fantastic film at WSC. [Tom Blakey]
