A funny and fairly original animated movie that actually surprised me with a well written and at times quite witty screenplay.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs tells the story of a would-be inventor who finally creates something useful only to see it abused by those in power for their own financial gain.
I remember watching the trailer for this movie in the theater in 3D and thinking that with this movie the gimmick might actually make sense, but watching it at home on a regular screen made me realize that 2D is perfectly fine and consolidated further my opinion that we don’t really need movies in 3D (especially the extra cost, thank you very much).
Sure it can occasionally be fun to watch and, when done right, it can be pretty cool, but it’s not a requirement for me for sure. In fact, I’m starting to believe that more often than not it would only cause the audience to be slightly jolted out of the story because a cool something seemed to pop out of the screen. I’d rather stay in the flow and forgo the 3D.
