Mini-Review: Amazing shots of mouse-sized human civilization. Really cool to see full-size human stuff repurposed.

Mini-Review: Really feels like an early 20th-century silent film, except for a few clever moments. The actors were great -- almost hard to believe they're from our time. I particularly commend the sound design, which was used to great and unexpected effect in several scenes. The cinematography was top-notch as well. My only criticism is that it's not entirely captivating, but perhaps that has more to do with the style.

Mini-Review: Méliès's story is beautiful. The film looks great, and the CGI isn't particularly distracting like in many other films. Love all the mechanical stuff. There are weaknesses — the "villain" isn't particularly convincing, the child actors aren't engrossing, and some of the scenes are drawn out.

Mini-Review: I was on my toes for pretty much the entire duration of the movie -- talk about thrilling! The two parallel, intertwining story arcs were great. Scorsese has a really unique style, especially when it comes to use of sound.

Mini-Review: Some genuine laughs, but it's mostly flat, predictable, and somewhat gross. A lot of really awkward moments. I didn't like the main character very much, but the cop was great.
