The Adventures of Tintin (3D)

It's "Indiana Jones" meets "Pirates of the Caribbean" as a boy reporter, Tintin, stumbles onto a hidden treasure clue and ends up competing against the bad guys. Director Steven Spielberg's artistic film making talents are evident in this amazing motion capture animated visual treat. Based on a Belgium comic book, this adaptation is a rousing non-stop action adventure thriller. The mystery incorporates a pirate story, a clever dog, a pickpocket, two detectives, and a freighter. It is good family entertainment if the kiddies are not too young. Hints of beginning another treasure hunt are made by film's end.
