Paul [Blu-ray]

I could watch this movie all day long for the rest of my life. If you loved Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz your going to live this movie Too! In fact I love Paul Sooo much I got him tattooed on my body!! LOL

It is different. Live actors and an animated actor.

If your fortunate enough to start or join a CE5 Community you will love it.This video is fun for CE5 movie nights. Paul is a delightful movie. Arrival & Contact are my two Favorites. I love documentaries.Remember to practice meditating daily it helps your success.

I was bored and wanted to watch a movie I can across this one and it looked good. It was so funny and I think that it was one of the best movies I have watched in a long thing.

Not a fan of Seth but it's only his voice. The movie is funny

Works perfectly. Great flick.

I am revising my review. At first, I reviewed it with three stars because of the profuse cussing.However, I am giving it 5 stars based on its own merit. I actually enjoy this movie very much! The more I watch it, the more I like it. I like the "unrated" version better because it has more footage and feels more complete to me. The acting and directing and writing are awesome.Graeme and Clive the two main characters, are swept away and become fugitives with Paul, the Alien, as they end up on the run from the secret government Black Ops agents who want Paul dead! In this comedy, even the agents are not without wit and are likable to some degree. This is a great cast of characters and everything fits extremely well and the story is sequenced nice and tight. Great job!This road adventure movie has all the thrills of a spy movie, the inspiration of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and MIB, with tons of laughs - all wrapped up in a road trip with two British Graphic Comic geeks and an Alien making it all happen.We get a view of "America" thorugh the eyes of these two fun loving geeks as they encounter the stereo-typical redneck types throughout the movie.The movie is cleverly written, full of laughs and excitement from one entertaining scene to the next.I appreciate the amazing motion capture and the excellent computer graphic animation. The details of Paul, right down to the skin textures, lines, blood vessels, etc., is phenomenal. Paul is very "human like" in that he bubbles with a raw "down-to-earth" personality that challenges the frayed nerves of his sci-fi geek companions, Graeme and Clive. It is forgivable for the continuity issue of size relationship of Paul to his human friends in a particular scene (an error in size proportion of the Alien to the characters he interacts with - he is oversized in these shots at this particular scene and section of the movie), but it doesn't slow down the action and the fun-loving adventure as these lovable characters find their way to their destination.For once, FINALLY, we have an "Alien" movie that does not portray Aliens as freaky insects, monsters, or evil beings that want to take over the world and eat peoples' brains out. Paul is approachable, friendly, and full of life, even though he is rude and disgusting at times.It is a great movie if you can handle the uncontrolled four letter words that come up in nearly every scene. Once you get past that, it carries itself. I just wished it would have been made without all that cussing. I hope they make a tamer version of it and dub in different explicatives. Men in Black and Raiders of the Lost Ark, all the other great action movies were able to carry the movie fantastically without foul language and I hope if this movie is ever re-mixed, it would step up to the plate and make a version with a clean mouth. It would have been a good family movie too if the cussing could be knocked down a bit.

Graeme and Clive, two English nerds, travel to L.A. for Comic-Con in an R.V. Tootling down a deserted desert highway at night, a big Men-in-Black sedan passes them at high speed. All of a sudden, the car starts swerving, then shoots off the road to roll over in a spectacular crash. Our heroes stop to see if there are any survivors. Turns out there was only a driver in the car and he made it out OK. Turns out, also, that he is a little green man. Well, grayish-green. The eponymous Paul has escaped Area 51 and needs help getting back to where he can be picked up to go back home. After they get over the initial shock, Graeme and Clive are just the guys to help him. This turns into a rollicking good buddy movie, with chase scenes and a love interest and lots and lots of laughs.“Paul” was released in 2011. It is 104 minutes long, with the unrated version 109 minutes. It is rated R mostly because of the language, which is feisty to say the least. But this is a very funny movie. Not quite as funny as “Shaun of the Dead” (2004), but it is up there. Simon Pegg (Graeme) and Nick Frost (Clive) work so well together, and you just LIKE these guys - even if Clive is annoying. Seth Rogan does a great job as the voice of Paul and the supporting actors are very good.I have the combination set, with BluRay and DVD discs. You can listen to the movie in English, Spanish, French, or Descriptive Video Service. Subtitles are also available in English SDH, Spanish and French.The BluRay disc has its own Bonus Features:A. “Between the Lightning Strikes: The Making of Paul”B. Behind the scenes featurettesI haven’t seen these.On the DVD disc, you get a Commentary Track and 6 other bonus feaures:A. Commentary Track with Greg Mottola (director), Simon Pegg (plays Graeme), Nick Frost (plays Clive), Paul Hader (plays Agent Haggard) and Nira Park (producer). When Paul is first shown, on that night in the desert, a commentator exclaims, “Look at his eyes. They’re amazing!” And Mottola says, “They did an incredible job. It took a good 7 months to get his eyes right.”In case you were wondering, The Big Guy’s office was filmed in a parking garage! And, yes, that really is Steven Spielberg’s voice on the speaker phone.B. Bloopers (11 minutes) In particular, there were a lot of retakes when they had trouble keeping a straight face while listing Shadowchild’s books – and no wonder.C. “The Evolution of Paul” (54 minutes) Commentators include Greg Mottola, David Lowry (lead animator), Judy Johnson (visual effects supervisor), Anders JJ Beer (animation supervisor), Scott Holmes (lead animator), Eamon Butler (head of animation), Jason Horschaft (animator), Hal Couzens (visual effects producer) and Julian Foddy (CG supervisor). This special covers the creation of the animated Paul.Mottola says, “Trying to direct an animated character is, feels kind of like giving an actor direction via twitter from the other side of the globe. You tell them something and then three months later you find out what it looks like.”D. “Simon’s Silly Faces” (2 minutes)E. “Who the Hell is Adam Shadowchild?” (3 minutes)F. Galleries. Many many shots of rehearsal photos, storyboards, posters and others.Happy Reader

Not up with the best hifi films

Das Komiker-Gespann, das fürs Drehbuch verantwortlich zeichnet und zugleich die Hauptfiguren verkörpert, liefert statt treffender Pointen eher peinliche Gags. Nach Shaun of the Dead und Hot Fuzz eine ehre schwächere Leistung. Nicht nur kindsköpfige Science-Fiction-Freunde, auch amerikanische Kreationisten, homophobe Rednecks und sonstige Hinterwäldler bekommen hier ihre unheimliche Begegnung der grünen Art... die Komikplaette reicht von starren englishcem Humor bis hin zum Slapstic vom allerfeinsten.... es ist zwar unterhaltam, aber eher auf die Beavis und Butthead art, man will nicht lachen, aber ein lächeln, kann mic sich nicht verkneifen... hehe. hehehehe...Für Freunde des Englischen Kinos und leichter Unterhaltung genau das richtige, wer Tiefgründiges Kino mit starker Action erwartet, sollte einen Boge drum herum machen...

....steuern die beiden Nerds von der Comic- Com auf dem Extraterrestischen Highway!Denn die zwei Freunde, die voll auf Begegnungen aller unheimlichen Arten und verrückteAlien- oder Greuelmasken jeder Art stehen- ja, sie hätten sich niemals ( oder doch ) zuträumen gewagt, dass ihnen auf ihrem tollen Vergnügungs- Trip ein noch tollerer Typ mitspindeldürrem Leib, nacktem spindeldürren Oberkörper, Shorts und Rucksäckchen- und....einem Kopf, der so gar nicht zur restlichen( oder doch ) KörperUNfülle passt, begegnet.Es ist PAUL- PAUL ist ein Alien, wie es im Buche steht. Und PAUL sieht auch so aus.So echt, dass sich sogar ein Nerd tatsächlich einnässt. Vor Schreck. Unfassbar doch.Und PAUL sieht nicht nur so aus, wie er sich präsentiert- er hat auch noch magische Fähigkeiten,die er an einem toten Vogel zelebriert, unter Beweis stellt. " Was hast du vor? " - " Seht einfach zu. "Und dann- hehe und igitti! PAUL ist halt witzig- auf seine Alien- Art eben." Nimm deine Scheisshände von meinem Gehänge! "" Ich muss aufhören zu rauchen....".********************************************************Story:Der kleine und grünlich- graue Alien Paul wird vom FBI gejagt-und will natürlich zurück zu seinem Mutterschiff. Verständlich.Und die zwei SF- Fans Graeme und Clive hätten sich ihren Erstkontaktmit einem echten Alien niemals so vorgestellt. Aber natürlich helfen siedem freakigen Paul, der ihr Universum für immer verändert...................ist doch prima!! Und UFO- Ehrensache!**********************************************************************************Fazit:AWESOME!PAUL- ein Film, nicht nur für Freunde der Unglaublichen und Verrückten Art!PAUL ist Raucher, kennt sich in Sachen Evolution und Politik bestens aus.Und ist auch sonst ganz schön cool. Und wenn es die Lage erfordert, kann ersich sogar unsichtbar machen.PAUL- EIN Alien auf der Flucht: Astrein animiert, irre gut gesprochen von Bela B.,Garant für gute und teilweise atemraubende Spannung. Nicht nur bezüglich PAUL`sfaszinierender Oho- Fähigkeiten. Und versammelt außer sich selber noch einige andereliebenswerte Charaktere um sich.Kurz und knapp;-) : PAUL ist unvergleichlich. Spass, gepaart mit Anspruch und Intelligenzgab es höchstens und bislang nur bei E.T- dem anderen, kleinen Weltraumler.Und PAUL ist echt in Gefahr. " Was passiert, wenn sie dich erwischen? " - " Tja, dann......schneiden sie mir das Hirn raus. "Armer kleiner und rührseeliger PAUL." Verhalte dich normal- wir sind einfach Leute, die mit ihrem kleinen Cowboy spazierengehen. "Lauflänge: 99.22 Minuten ( mit klasse Abspann )!!Extras:- Patzer= 10.45 Minuten ( klar lustig ) !!- Pauls Entwicklung= 14.50 Minuten!!- Simons Grimassen= 1.12 Minuten!!- Wer zum Teufel ist Adam Shadowchild?= 2 Minuten!!- Galerien, Nachspann!!Volle Sternenzahl!" Du hast keine Angst vor mir? " - " Hmm....ja und nein. "

Wie oft habe ich den Film schon gesehen? Oft.Klasse Humor. Geniale Story. Schauspiel Tip-Top.Bild und Ton sind sehr gut. Diesen Film habe ich absolut unterschätzt und bin froh, ihn mir doch angeschafft zu haben. Ein zeitloser Klassiker, bzw. ein kommender Klassiker.Ich hoffe, ich konnte etwas helfen.

Paul is an epic sci fi comedy with countless references to classic sci fi movies and TV... starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Seth Rogen, you know it’s going to be good.An American road trip with a smart assed alien who’s just escaped from Area 51..Paul is such a great movie for sci fi and comedy fans.
