Kawabonga!!! The turtles are back

Was a 13 year wait worth it? Hell yeah! I used to love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series as a kid and i still do. IMAGI studio has come out with a brand new TMNT that delivers what could be the movie that everyone has waited for so long. The film represents the light-hearted aspects of the 1980’s cartoon, and the dark and gritty of the original series that started it all.

The biggest + in the movie is the animation. The level of detailing is unsurpassed and completely amazing. everything from backgrounds, characters, textures and lighting is awesome. especially the sequence between Leonardo and Raphael in the rain….OMG the detailing was mind blowing. The general look and design was crisp. The Turtles look different and new and so does Splinter, Casey and April. Though April ‘O Neal looks more like Lara Croft, and Casey’s character had lost the edge he is not the vigilante he used to be. I was also particularly impressed with the design of Karai and the foot ninjas.

There’s not much of a plot in the new TMNT, but it concentrates on the inner conflict among the turtle brothers. The voice acting was good too, but Splinter’s voice is not the same and it took some time getting used to the new voice. I’m more used to the soft voiced Splinter and not the new raspy one. The villain is not Shredder anymore but that’s not what this movie is all about. Michelangelo and Donatello do not get much screen time as the movie is more about Ralph and Leo.

The background score is excellent, and gets your adrenaline pumping especially in Ralph’s intro and the rooftop sequence.Go watch the movie if you are a TMNT fan or a fan of CG. Its worth it…AGAIN watch out for the rooftop fight sequence.

Towards the chequered flag ->

When projects go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the files you’re trudging seems all uphill;
When the deadlines are close, and the errors are high;
And you wish to smile, but you have to sigh;
When da boss is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

That’s what’s been happening in my life for the past 3 months. lack of sleep, junk food, etc…but was it worth it? HELL YEAH. We took on a project with a deadline that seemed impossible to meet, and as the 30th of June approaches, we are in the final lap steadily moving towards the chequered flag. My whole team is on a new high now but there’s still something that bothers me….Accomplishing the impossible means “the boss will add it to your regular duties”. We’ll we’be been bragging a lot about how we managed to tackle such a schedule that few of my team members started to feel that maybe we are jinxing the project, coz what could be worse than having climbed the ladder of success, only to find it is against the wrong wall?

This also gave me a good chance to see who plays well under pressure. As they say “Hard work spotlights the character of people, some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all!”. But in the end a successful completion of such a project could lead to many things….i might even be able to name my own salary - i think i’ll call mine shazaam :-P

Holy S***
