Both Ansari and O'Dowd throw their two cents into the fray, one thinking he is a player, while the other wants to be a knight. The comedy styles of Mub (Aziz Ansari) and Grub (Chris O'Dowd) might have been the most entertaining factor for the audience.

If that is the case, Epic is your movie of choice as the children in my theater were dazzled by what the movie had to offer. Yet visuals probably isn't the main reason most will be seeing this movie is it? Many people may be going to take a young family member/friend to see a fun adventure. Despite this minor flaw though, Epic's world is clever, bold, and magical. Of course like many movies, there was plenty of cookie cutting going on, especially in scenes where there were mass congregations or when the enemy swarmed the scene. The denizens of the hidden world in the forest impressed me, as a beautiful blend of human anatomy and environment melded into a combination that I could only dream of. They don't stop there however, as the team took another step up to develop their creatures of fantasy. From the lines in the various leaves to the warped and horrific dimensions of rot, Epic's visuals are indeed some of the finest I've seen in a while. The animators at BSS do their homework when it comes to creating their worlds/characters, managing to capture the natural grooves, curves, and texture of nature's beauty.

As the trailers promised, the world of Epic is a beautiful creation of art, computer graphics, and attention to detail. What was the verdict? Read on to find out. Yet like many movies I feared that I would be disappointed by the final product. I'll admit that seeing the trailers last summer got me stoked at the potential for comedy, action, and a heartwarming tale. No I'm not on drugs, I'm talking about the movie Epic, Blue Sky Studios (BSS) latest animated installment. My third film for this Memorial Day weekend takes me out of the rated R woods and into one that is more magical and kid friendly.
