93% Hugo

Martin Scorsese's Hugo is an uninhabited passionate tribute to the majestic art of classic cinema, which is a remarkable experience on the visual side. In fact, this is the most visually resonant film of the year, and quite possibly the best 3D film. Scorsese is most likely the only director aside from James Cameron who knows how to correctly utilize 3D technology, rather than splattering it on a film to raise admission prices. My major issues with this film tread from the idea that some scenes were incorrectly utilized, solely to add more convolution to an already cluttered story. Having said that, Hugo is a fun film to behold. Newcomer Asa Butterfield is Hugo Cabret, a 12-year-old orphan who has been living confined in the walls of a Paris train station in 1930. Hugo has been living alone ever since his father (Jude Law) died in a fire accident. Hugo was living in the walls of the train station with his Uncle Claude (Ray Winstone), until a few months ago, his Uncle departed suddenly and has not returned. To get all the food and supplies needed to survive, Hugo goes around the train station as a thief, stealing whatever he needs to survive, while simultaneously avoiding the station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), who captures free-running orphans and send them away. When Hugo is caught one day stealing small parts from a toy shop operator George M?li?s (Ben Kingsley), who then steals Hugo's notebook, that contains mysterious drawings of a robot, who incidentally is located in the wall Hugo stays in. The notebook holds the key to getting the robot to work correctly, and with the help of George's daughter Isabelle (Chlo? Grace Moretz), Hugo goes on an adventure (which Isabelle professes she has never been in) to find the notebook, figure out the secret of the robot, and find the key that will solve all of this commotion. As these two crazy kids become more and more deep into this investigation, they find out a major secret about her godfather, and the magic of cinema.
