Finding Nemo Movie Review

Finding Nemo

Genre: Animated Comedy/Adventure
My Rating: 5/5

PLOT

This story takes place in the ocean. Marlin, a Clownfish, and his wife settle into a new home where all of there eggs were. Suddenly, a Barracuda attacks their home, leaving Marlin and a single egg. Marlin was left with his only son, Nemo. Nemo and Marlin would live in their coral reef home until his first day of school, when Nemo who was frustrated by his father’s over protectiveness deliberately disobeys his father’s caution by swimming into dangerous open water. Nemo is caught by a scuba diver, leaving behind only a bear of diving goggles. Marlin, discovering that the goggles came from Sydney, Australia then goes on a journey to find his son Nemo. Marlin meets many different and interesting sea creatures on his journey, including sharks, turtles, sea gulls, and a whale.

ACTING

The characters in this story were amazing. Almost every character had an adorable personality that made you chuckle, even the sharks. The voices used in this movie were great, they made it impossible not to enjoy the performances of Dory and the sea turtle. The characters were almost realistic, some of their characteristics were realistic, and some were not. Each of characters had their own little story that allowed you to connect with them in some way. There are a few stereotypes in this movie, such as the turtles’ surfer accent but they were not major.

SPECIAL EFFECTS, CINEMATOGRAPHY, MUSIC SCORE, CAMERA SHOTS, EDITING, ETC.

Finding Nemo, which was animated has many great shots and depict the story at many interesting and nice angles. Finding Nemo applies shots that were able to provoke panic, comedy, or excitement. The music also contributed to the mood greatly, setting the tone for many of the shots throughout the movie. I absolutely loved the shots used in the fish tank.

FINAL COMMENTS

Everyone should go watch this movie. Finding Nemo is fun and entertaining for just about anyone, regardless of age or background. This movie was funny and exciting throughout the whole movie, but perhaps could have spent more time with some of the other characters. Regardless, Finding Nemo is an excellent movie.
