Downright Hilarious We are thrust into a world of gods and monsters as we follow the adventures of the ineffable Sinbad and his rag tag crew as they plunder and pillage their way across the seven seas. Sinbad runs into an old friend and ends up having to save him from being executed by retrieving an artifact that is stolen by the goddess Eris who is just doing it "for the lulz". Eris is animated so smoothly that watching her move is like running your hands along fine silk. The action sequences are really exciting and definitely left me at the edge of my seat, biting my nails off. There are a lot of hilarious, laugh out loud moments-- some of which you will miss on your first viewing because the lines are delivered so smoothly. My only complaint with this film is the same complaint I have with films made during this era: the computer animated monsters are very distracting. The style choice is distracting and interrupts my suspension of disbelief because I cannot see the hand drawn characters "realistically" interacting with these CG monsters. That aside, this is a great movie to watch with your kids or on your own! It;s not Harryhausen's Sinbad but it's just as fun and kitschy.
