Drive a car and change the world!

No, not an environmental rant, just one of many silly quotes from Speed Racer, the film that Joseph and I went to see on Thursday.

If I had to sum it up in one sentence I would say, it’s Tron for a 21st Century audience.

Totally daft, hugely unrealistic with lots of ‘film on film action’ (oo-er missus) but with a mostly famous cast (see for yourself here), not to mention written and directed by the Wachowski brothers who were responsible for The Matrix (of which I happen to be a big fan).

Do yourselves a favour; if you want to go and see it, find a Cineworld cinema and go along on Saturday morning when it’s family film day and everyone watches for a pound.

The important thing was that Joseph enjoyed it, lots of fast cars and revving engine noises, not to mention the big box of popcorn and snacks we shared.

Verdict?

Daft but memorable.
