This visually enthralling animated film is based on a series of books, The Owls of Ga’Hoole, by Kathryn Lasky. There’s bad owls and good owls and owls that are kidnapped – and they’re all voiced by a host of famous Aussies (Sam Neill, Abbie Cornish) and a couple of Brits (Helen Mirren, Jim Sturgess).The adventure is pretty thrilling, especially in 3D, if somewhat scary for younger audience members, but given that it’s from the director of 300 and Watchmen, this is not surprising. It might not be as popular as your Shrek or Toy Story films, but it’s a fresh foray into the genre, which is always worth a thumbs up.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
