As part of my day off yesterday I went to the cinema to see Rango. I didn't really know what to expect but I'd heard good things about it and it was one of the two films I was interested in that were actually showing at that time in the afternoon (the other being The Eagle).
I did not regret it. It's a really fun film but also moving and a little sad, quite human, in fact, despite the main characters all being animals. The animation is technically perfect and the textures are excellent. It's PG rated but there are so many levels to this film that it's perfect entertainment for adults, too, especially because of the many references to other films (from classic spaghetti westerns to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).
There are some surprising actors turning up on the voices list, like Bill Nighy playing Rattlesnake Jake (one of the villains) and Timothy Olyphant as the Spirit of the West, too.
Highly recommended if you're looking for almost two hours of diversion.
