Planes: Fire & Rescue-360P

The last time I saw an animated movie was Hercules in 1997. I decided to check this out just to see how much things have changed and also cause I'm a lover of any movie that features wilderness aerial shots. I was absolutely blown away by this film. The stunning visuals and animation alone are worth the price of admission. I just saw this in 3D and was so impressed by how visually beautiful this movie is. I would recommend this for viewers of all ages not just kids. And if-like me-you love California wilderness scenery, you're in for a real treat. The movie really captures the look and feel of the Yosemite wilderness and lodge areas very nicely. Run don't walk to see this!!

Dusty Crophopper damages his gearbox and is unable to race, to help his friend he starts firefighting, the perils await. After Planes (which I seemed to enjoy more than most) received very low ratings it was hard to see the light for this film. Fortunately Planes: Fire & Rescue manages to outdo its predecessor. The movies is filled with lots of familiar actors lending there voices. There's lots of funny moments including Some good innuendo that'll go over the kids heads. But the real highlight for this movie is its amazing action and effects. Its incredibly fast paced with lots of glorious flight sequences. I wouldn't call this movie perfect, in fact I purposefully overrated this film to try get its star rating (currently 5.9) higher. But overall this is an awesome work of animation that's entertaining for all ages. Don't listen to all the negativity. This is worthy of being called another Disney classic in my book. (BTW while I enjoyed the first film I wouldn't consider it a classic)

Prize race-winning plane Dusty Crophopper is told his racing days are over, so he joins a team of forest fire-fighting aircraft and appliances. The first Planes film, set (by Disney) in the same universe as Pixar's Cars, did little more than move the plot of Cars 2 off the road and into the air. This sequel is very much better. The rescue scenario lends itself to some wonderfully realised visuals and a genuine sense of jeopardy. The characters seem more likable this time round, too. A high profile voice cast does well by serving the film and not imposing themselves, but this film - for me - was mainly about the terrific visuals.

The story revolves around Dusty a lovely plane who learns he cannot race anymore as his engine is about to burst. Not one to give up he tries to prove he can still be useful. Whilst it is admirable for one to not lose spirits in the face of adversity the way this has been displayed in this animating adventure has proved ineffective. Dusty comes across as a stubborn plane who in his refusal to accept he is damaged and stay put manages to constantly endanger himself as well as other planes. There is a failed attempt, a telling off, then another incident and another etc... Given he cannot race he opts for becoming a fire-fighter but the problems remain, his engine is not up to the task. More failed attempts and endangerment. Whereas the spectacle/cinematography is acceptable the moral of the story falls short and given how the cinema was filled with youngsters something tells me it did not convey a very poignant message.

So after winning the Wings Around the World, it turns out that Dusty's gearbox gets faulty and Dottie the mechanic warns him not to red light his engine or he'll crash. One day a fire occurs in Dusty's hometown airport and the government finds the airport doesn't have adequate resource for handling fire accidents. After tidying up, the only thing left to have is another member for the fire fighter crew. Dusty volunteers and is then sent to get his certification with Blade Ranger in Piston Peak. Blade teaches all the firefighting technical things, but Dusty still holds back his top speed in fear of red lighting and crashing. It's then revealed that Blade was a TV star but he got into fire fighting after he lost his partner at a shooting accident. Meanwhile, the superintendent of the Piston Peaks resort is having a party at his new lodge and avoiding the wildfire danger. As the rescue attempt goes on, Dusty goes his own way and disobeys Blade's orders repeatedly, resulting in the both of them stuck in their own ways and they have to et the fire burn through as they take cover. Blade shields Dusty from the fire thus he 's weakened and is downed as he tries take off. In Blade's absence and under the push of situation Dusty is then able to red light his engine. At the same time Blade, still injured but pushes on, helps Dusty to save the old RVs trapped in the same bridge where Blade teaches Dusty low flying. But immediately after red lighting, Dusty's engine stops mid air and he crashes. After five days of treatment, Maru, Blade's mechanic succeeded in repairing Dusty, even repairing his faulty gearbox. Thus Prop Junctin is reopened with Dusty as the new fire fighter member. It's bad that after the flop of the first movie, the development team didn't really learn a good lesson from it and cook up a better movie in this one. The story moves from a classic of hope for a competition's underdog to an even more common one of a newbie ended up being a hero. There's no twist offered in any of the story element, just all those predictable story developments. What's even worse than the first movie is that this time there's less laughable jokes around. Considering that the story changes from a competition into one more seriously toned story of saving lives, yet it shouldn't be a reason to cut back on the jokes. Besides, it's an animation after all. And also, again, there's no cameo or any sort of appearance of the characters from the original Cars world to really connect the two franchise together, when on the other hand the movie's story has so many spots to do so nicely and smoothly. For example, when Dusty travels from Prop Junction to Piston Peaks, he could've been shown as flying pass Radiator Springs. But no, the developers didn't bother to do it. My final say is that Planes: Fire and Rescue (2014) gets a 4 out 10 score from me, the same score I gave the original Planes (2013). It's an entertainment, a decent one at least, but I think we can all find better animations than this one.
