We meet the Thomson's: briefly; husband-and-wife Tim and Polly [Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy:] he is a stay at home dad, whilst she works for this tech company, which she has recently lost her job for quitting over what she believes in: they have three children; Beth, Fran/Francesca and [Delilah Bennett-Cardy,  Billie Gadsdon and Phoenix Laroche:] one moody young teenager, one that doesn't talk and one into computer games and such. But because of this one decision that Polly has made they lose everything so Tim initiates an idea that they have always wanted to do, but it will quieten to move from the city into the country, which opens up a brand-new world to their three children and no it isn't just the countryside, it is something much more magical.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 110 minutes is a little bit so to begin with, but after it settle things down and it gets into his rhythm; it moves so much more better and take on a life of its very own.

Art, action and character development; well that art is clear to see; as every landscape has everything best associated with that landscape [most of them; as you will see one is built as a school] so the attention to detail is immaculate, imaginative and highly creative and the same be said for the wardrobe, their individual alterations and accessories, we even have some time for dancing or singing and we even have this flying machine that can fly from place to place, but be warned this individual can be awake and fall asleep

Character developments, performances, voice performances and comedy; on both counts they are excellently played out versions of what they are; by changing city life for country life it gives all of our systems characters the opportunity to grow and using some model of coming-of-age regardless of human or/and fantasy individuals. Now if at some point in the future there is to be a sequel, they without question need to bring back this entire cast as long as a character comes back; they come back as well, it is crucially important that nobody gets re-cast, because everyone makes these characters and connections naturally and very organically and changing the performer would without doubt throw off the organic atmosphere/chemistry throughout this past; so in a nutshell these characters are these performers/voice performer and these performers/voice performer are these characters. There is nothing wrong with the comedy per se, it is built for family viewing, but I am a little bit concerned of other countries for an example like the US getting it; because it is very British; be it drinking alcohol, misunderstanding city language and country language as it relates to WiFi/Wifeaye or a character misunderstanding words, because of the way he is designed or bodily functions.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; as I may have already alluded to already, this is a highly engaging project on multiple levels, on reflection I think it would be fair to say that it does need some time to warm up and yes I am slightly concerned about how this movie will be received in the US for it being a very British project, but by and large for those around the world that like a slice of British culture this film will suit you down to the ground, so consequently I have decided to award an extra mark based on its entire viewing experience and finally this film does have 2 extra scenes; 1 right near the closing credits and the other right at the end of the closing credits
