Drive Angry 3D (2011)

By | 2011-05-29

I watched the 2D version of this 3D yawner.  So I can’t speak to the quality of the 3D.  I can tell you that there are many events that cause items to be flung directly at the screen.  It makes you feel like you are watching the 2D version of any 1950’s or 1960’s 3D movie, where it’s all about making excuses to use a 3D effect.

Much like my review of The Mechanic, this is an okay action movie, nothing you will able to, or care to remember the next day.  An okay time waster for action movie fans, but what is this movie about?  I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s a father’s sould that escaped from hell to avenge his daughter’s death.  That’s the impression we are left with at the end, but in the mean time it’s unclear at first if we are supposed to be in some other reality, in the appocolipse times in the future, or something else.  It’s a bit into the movie till we can judge.

Nicolas Cage plays the same character he plays in ever role he’s ever done; a sad angry monotone voiced guy looking for revenge.  He plays it well, just nothing new here.

5/10
