Hugo: Showing at Dha Cinema Lahore in 3D

Hugo is a $150 million budgeted 3D adventure drama which is directed by Martin Scorsese. It is based on the 2007 novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick. Distributed by Paramount Pictures, Hugo grossed $90.3 million at the box office.

Apart from its hype, the 128 minutes movie failed to breakeven at the box office. However, the film has been nominated for 11 Academy Awards including the Best Picture and the Best Director. It became the most nominated film of 2011 at this elite award event.
The film has also been nominated for three Golden Globe Awards (Scorsese earned his third award here) and nine BAFTAs awards (results pending).

The story centres on Hugo Cabret, a 12-year-old boy who has ended up as an orphan, living in the walls of a train station in Paris. He finds a mystery involving his father, a broken robot and himself and after encountering with an eccentric girl and a cold
reserved man who runs the toy shop, Hugo sets on a fascinating and a magical journey which could jeopardise his secrets.

THQ and Paramount Digital Entertainment made a game based on the flick. It will be released on the Nintendo Ds and Nintendo 3DS with Jude Law reprising his role as Hugo’s father while Joshua Seth will replace Butterfield to star as the character of Hugo.

The 170 million budgeted Hugo received good reviews from critics worldwide. IMDB gave it a score of 8.2 out of 10 based from its 21,188 users while a review aggregator site, Metacritic, gave it a score of 83 out of 10.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it a Certified Fresh rating and reported that 94 percent of critics gave it positive scores. The site’s general consensus states, “Hugo is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids’ movies, and one
that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema.”

Jordan Raup from The Film Stage declared, “Martin Scorsese’s Hugo enthralling dose of film history from cinema’s greatest admirer.”

Cine Blend stated, “Scorsese’s Hugo, even unfinished, may be the best live-action 3D film ever.”

Hugo takes you to a mysterious new adventure, making it a must watch for not only children but for their parents as well.
