Judge Dredd is a hardened futuristic cop that dispenses judgement by brutally shooting all bad guys that cross his path.
It deserves the 18 certificate, which is a hard prize to claim in the present day film industry, with audiences being harder to shock. However, Dredd 3D manages this with the ultimate slow motion action scenes, as we get to see bad guys gruesomely taking bullets to all parts of the anatomy.
The story is basic, but effective; bad guy (or in this case, bad girl Ma-Ma) does one bad deed too many, which brings Judge Dredd and new recruit Anderson into the vicinity. A lot of bad guys get killed and Ma-Ma looks to have the upper hand, until Dredd starts to kick ass!
Usually I'm not a fan of 3D, as it's never really improved my viewing experience, but rather hindered it. I found films such as Alice in Wonderland were blurry with the 3D glasses on as well as off. However, after the initial failure with the first action scene where the 3D failed to work at all, which was clearly the fault with the cinema rather than the film's 3D capability, I almost enjoyed the 3D aspects, the ultimate slow motion mimicking Ma-Ma's new altering reality slo-mo drug.
For Fans of action, violence and a bad ass hero, this is a must see.
There’s an awesome-looking style to it that makes the action kick that much more ass, but in terms of action, I felt like they were missing something. Still, it’s a whole lot of fun. Nice review Traveller J.
