Review of 2.0

I'm absolutely delighted for all the ideas for 2.0 that Shankar coined were made with some mad level of passion. I wish with every other bad commercial garbage we see these days had half of passion like this. To start with, the visual effects were spectacular, much of the best work went on the winged beast and Akshay's avatars. The VFX was stunning to behold. Respects to Shankar for clinically putting his artists to pen everything perfectly tied to the animation and movements he wanted. BRAVO! Chitti, and his entourage of androids were cleaner than before and the step up was excellent as expected. Amy Jackson as an android ? A parody of how robotic she always is. She had to be there to push some buttons and wire some mechanics. Now for the action, we get it in good folds. Shankar teases us for what's to come in the 2nd half of the film with subtle grandeur in the first half. There's a huge sense of awe in the first half, of the elements that come to play, just art. Then in the 2nd half when it's rapid and loud, all the details don't get missed out purely because the team enforced execution at its best. The chaos that Shankar creates for the masses of crowds and the surroundings is pretty close to a Hollywood gear and oil flick. The city and other minor sets were spot on for the money. Akshay does his character justice and goes manic in dimensions we never see from Indian cinema. One thing i'll say which i felt from Enthiran Dr. Vaseegaran should have been played by someone else, it's almost laughable. I don't mind him in the songs from the first movie, but he just can't really emote. Chitti and 2.0 comes to alive with Rajini but not that dull scientist. Sound design becomes another character, consistent and superb. ARR has also outdone himself giving us another sound score to hold onto for months. Shankar used some science anamolies that is surely exciting in his robot world. We have seen forces in the natural world that are unexplainable and he masterfully mashed it together for his androids to fight against. Well done ! Kids will remember this movie for ages to come. My best comment on Shankar's 2.0, is that you just want to own the best theater systems at home for movies that are honest in designing it's world. Can't imagine watching this just on your plain phones and computers, as fans you are doing the work here a big disservice.
