April March February January Overview Hugo Cabret is a twelve year old boy who lives alone in the walls of the Gare Montparnasse railway station in Paris, following the death of his father in a museum fire and the disappearance of his alcoholic uncle Claude.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Coming Home in the Dark 4. Eternals Pig 5. Dune The Addams Family 2 6. The Last Duel Raging Fire 7. Halloween Kills Witch Hunt 8. Old Henry Zone 9. Last Night in Soho A Christmas Gift from Bob While that doesn't mean comin'-at-ya theme park-type effects though you will spot a couple of those , it does entail more than just the usual perceptible planes of depth. The impossible opening shot sweeps us through the station, whisking us past those boarding on a steamy platform.

The station's clock, full of gears and wonderment, is another opportunity to really define the space and enhance the environment. Though I have been down on 3-D for years and have typically avoided it at all costs, I am glad that 2-D showings of Hugo were hard to find because Scorsese has managed to make artful use of the format, allowing it to complement the story, not distract from or cheapen it. All the rave reviews and awards have helped Hugo sell tickets well into , but it remains incredibly far from profitability.

While the theatrical gains from its five Oscar wins are likely to be minimal, the film's home video debut two days later could not have been better timed. As its domination of the technical Oscars suggest, this is cinema at its most advanced. The pristine digital print and outstanding detail allow you to marvel at one of the most visually expressive films there has ever been. So much goes into every frame, from period production design to visual effects to appealing composition, that you can literally freeze any frame and have a piece of art on your screen.

Some of the tiniest details dust particles in sunlight, deliberate snow flurries are among the film's most powerful elements and p showcases them much more satisfyingly than standard definition. This is a movie that screams to be seen on a large screen at the highest resolution available.

The BD is equally potent aurally, its 7. This is the rare serious artistic film that also doubles as a knockout demo disc. While clearly inferior to the Blu-ray, the DVD doesn't look bad by its format's standards. The picture is clean and colorful, but significantly less vibrant, a bit lacking in detail and subject to compression woes during the busier sequences. Befitting the film, the comments are a bit more substantial, shedding light on Scorsese's decision to film the story, the adaptation, the casting, working in 3-D, and the production's enormous undertakings.

It's a worthy exploration of a fascinating subject. Rather than just delving into the technical design of the automaton created for the film, "The Mechanical Man at the Heart of Hugo " devotes more time to considering the history and nature of automatons, quite compellingly.

When it does get to the design, the piece briefly touches on the features and inspirations of the robot. It's too brisk and enthusiastic to have the "been there, done that" feel the title suggests.

It's an opportunity for him to have fun with a character in this case, a stuck-up, accented serious actor , and Scorsese and others play along. It's a bit cheesy, but tolerable. It is not to make room for transferrable digital copies in iTunes and Windows Media formats; those are relegated to an Internet download. In addition to them, this set gives you the chance to stream the movie to your devices via UltraViolet. Hugo 's own trailers are frustratingly absent. Its menu's "Previews" listing plays trailers for Like Crazy and Breakfast at Tiffany's : 50th Anniversary Blu-ray before repeating those auto-played promos.

The Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D simply stream previews which right now means pulling from that same pool, but down the line presumably means other more timely ads. The menu plays clips inside the gears of the train station clock.
