I went to see this flick last night, and I absolutely loved it. The balance of great comedy and an actual story is perfect, and every element used in the film delivers beautifully. I've never seen Wes Anderson's other movies, but I'm going to go back and watch them now. The thing that sets Life Aquatic apart from other movies is the unique comedy. This isn't just some slapstick horse crap, it's actually well planned home grown comedy. My favorite parts were, of course, the gun fights. They came out of nowhere and almost had me pissing myslef. Anderson throws this in as (a backwards) serious kind of relief to the comedy, and it turns out to make you choke on your popcorn. It's as if he's mocking modern action flicks. I also liked the part where Steve turns on the music in his helment and starts dancing. The entire theater died out laughing, even though we'd all seen it in the trailer. Also, Life Aquatic does end up being pretty emotional. That's why I liked it. It's humorous, yet it gets you teared up at the end. All in all, it's probobly my favorite film in at least a year or so.. no joke. The last movie that I saw that made me leave the theater with a warm feeling like this was Collateral, and that was a different kind of film anyways. Rating: 5.5 Pros: loving wonderful movie all together, great comedy, great storyline. It's a unique film. Cons: none
