Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Page 4

Oh yes, I would be remiss if I did not mention the special effects. In short, they are fantastic. They are seamless as they show this odd aging/growing progress through the film. From the little old man Pitt to the younger than he's been in years Pitt, you will have no trouble believing what you see is real.

Bottom line. This is a movie that needs to be seen, for better or for worse. All too often films state their intentions right up front, leaving nothing to be discovered and nothing to reward multiple viewings. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is not one of those films. There are layers here to be peeled back and exposed to the light of day. A trip well worth taking.

Highly Recommended.

    If you ever contemplate life, you should see this movie. It was very well done. The story sticks with you for the rest of the day. It is never too late to change who you are.
