I can surely say that this is the birth of 3D era in the movies. A time will come where people will own their personal set of 3D glasses or get themselves fitted with 3D contact lenses for the movies. I am proud to be breathing in this period of time. Like we have PIRANHA 3D, in the near future there will be ads depicting "Love in London -2D" only 2D flick in town.
First impression, this is just another creature-feature movie where the director has no other motive than scaring the hell out of audience to his best. Piranha has some new angles too. Like the skin show in 3D which i am sure most of us hasn't seen before. Film is definitely not for all eyes including the ones aged below 18.
Script is as simple as the golden rule like the 1.Problem 2. Explanation of problem 3. More problems 4. More & More problems. 5. Hero and all his family are safe. and 6. A twist in the end. Come on, how many movies we have seen of those kind. However, PIRANHA-3D has some scenes which are worth half of your money at least. Visual effects are totally convincing. Sound department went easy on the audience not to scare too much.
Its very ironic that a few minutes before the movie i was at my friend's place admiring the beautiful, calm fish in the aquarium there. I wonder how people who love fish will react to this movie?
The fish weren't just savage creatures in this movie. They were given character like in movement, hunt and choosing their kill. You see, they always find their way to most "beautiful spots".
I ended up with mixed feelings during the movie. Tell me how would you feel when you see a hot chick with nothing but little things on getting munched by violent beasts under water .....and in 3D....??...May be its a question only for the "gentlemen"?
Strange thought that one might end up feeling hungry during the movie. Even better if you have some fish food handy. All in all i would give a 2.5 on 5 to this horror or blood (may be i should add a new genre for these kinda movies) flick from Alexander Aja.
