Review: This first cinematographic adaptation of Hergé's books is visually stunning. From the first moment I was amazed by the beauty of the rendering of the Computer Generated Images. It is difficult to tell the difference from a live movie, except for the slightly caricatural faces of the people. The movie is filled with beautiful sets and landscapes, and impossible camera motions to follow the action from as close as possible. At some point all this action and camera motion is even a bit tiring. The story is typical of a Tintin book, and the partial merging of three of them actually. I found that there was a little lack of emotion and viewer involvment in the movie, maybe due to the animated nature of the characters.
Rating: 7/10
