As usual, I missed The Incredibles in the theaters. The DVD was released earlier this week, and the local grocery story already has it for rent. Perfect Friday night flick. Underpinned by a real story (nothing deep, but universal), The Incredibles just roars along visually. In this movie, unlike Shrek 2, the references (visual and audible) to other films are gently done. Of course, the evil villain on a remote island feels like every Bond film ever made, but especially Dr. No. In one chase scene, we get both a nod towards the forest chase in Return of the Jedi and the race in Phantom Menace… listen. Only tip I’d give, beyond making sure you enjoy the movie, is that the special features disc doesn’t have anything particularly special on it except for the short film (4 min.) Boundin’. I’m guessing this short opened for The Incredibles in theaters, as Pixar does (bless them).
