Ice Age 3 has dinosaurs in addition to its previous characters. This is not itself. All these characters visit Dino-Land for an adventure which makes this movie more attractive than its previous ones. A more attraction of Ice Age 3 is the new character called Buck that perks up the story.
To add to that, the film is presented in 3D, something which gives an edge to this animation flick that keeps viewers of all age groups happy.
The scenes are more lovable this time, one liners have that punchy humour to them and characters are more identifiable. People who have missed the earlier instalments of "ice age will never feel lost out because the writers have drawn up the character sketches well and present them all over again.
We have the mammoth couple, getting ready for the delivery of their first baby. They have their friendly tiger for company who gets into a little depression that he is 'losing his edge' and may lose his friends once they move on to parenthood.
It's a different matter though that he gets into form once he heads out with his friends to search for Sid, who has been transported to dino-land, due to the sudden love for parenthood that has made him look after three baby dinosaurs.
The fun only continues with the arrival of buck who is their guide, guru and philosopher, all rolled into one. He has a sole 'dino tooth' as a weapon that he earned as a saviour, courtesy his near death experience in a fierce battle with a dinosaur a few years back.
Fun and action move at an immense pace and are enhanced with some cool 3D animations which makes the experience of watching this movie a great. Volcanoes erupt, rock slides happen, dinosaurs strike, bridges collapse, trolleys snap and laughing gas makes them all uncontrollable even as buck entertains them all through his high-on-action flashback.
In this almost perfectly packaged entertainer, what lets the film down a little is an extended end. Just when you thought that the film was over, "ice age" goes on to continue for some more time.
This is done in an attempt to ensure that the story of each and every character comes to a logical conclusion. But, it becomes a little boring and unnecessary.
Leaving this minor "blemish", this movie is a perfect entertainer for a lovely weekend with your family!!!!!!!
