IMBD Synopsis: Hugo is an orphan boy living in the walls of a train
station in 1930s Paris. He learned to fix clocks and other gadgets from his
father and uncle which he puts to use keeping the train station clocks running.
The only thing that he has left that connects him to his dead father is an
automaton (mechanical man) that doesn't work without a special key which Hugo
needs to find to unlock the secret he believes it contains. On his adventures,
he meets with a shopkeeper, George Melies, who works in the train station and
his adventure-seeking god-daughter. Hugo finds that they have a surprising
connection to his father and the automaton, and he discovers it unlocks some
memories the old man has buried inside regarding his past.
My rating: 5.5/10
My Comment: I
have said this before and I'll say this again. I'm not a fan of sci-fi or
fantasy movies (except Harry Potter). I have to commend British movies on one
thing, though., and that is their great attention to detail. Next time watch a
British movie and then an American movie straight afterwards and you'll see
what I mean. It was nice seeing Sacha Baron Carter playing a role that isn't
too crazy like Bruno and The Dictator.
