Just
imagine…
A young, resolute, rash yet smart
journalist whose irrepressible itch for new stories lunges him into the realm
of suspense, adventure & thrill- A world that spells both DANGER &
EXCITEMENT!
When Tintin (Jamie Bell), the famous
“boy-journalist” purchases a beautiful model of a Unicorn ship for a Pound off
a flea market stall, he walks right into the face of a mystery! Within seconds he is offered double for the
same boat & when he denies the offer, he is asked to name his price! Accompanied by his fabulous dog, Snowy, it takes
just a whiff of suspicion for Tintin to plunge himself into this world of secrets,
treachery & deceits! He soon finds out that the model of the ship he has just bought,
had met a tragic end when it was attacked by pirates & the only person to
survive the attack was Sir Francis Haddock. The ship was supposedly carrying a “secret
cargo” which now lies somewhere at the bottom of the sea! Soon enough he
realises that the mast of the model contains a clue to the long lost treasure! The
scroll in the mast is a part of a jigsaw puzzle & to solve it, he must join hands with Late
Sir Francis Haddock’s drunkard, crazy, seafaring grandson- Capt. Haddock (Andy Serkis), who
has lost his marbles & remembers absolutly nothing of his past! Hell breaks loose when Tintin comes to face the wreck of the sinister & hedious Sir Sakharine (Daniel Craig), who seems to be contending for the same treasure!
It’s all knotted & entangled-
sometimes racing & roaring through a deliciously grungy combination of
varied locations-ranging from U.K to Morocco; sometimes soaring over the seas
and the deserts; sometimes enticing us with exhilarating flashbacks, cracked
biplane jaunts, frenzied chases, clever deductions & loony rides-that’s what glues us to the
screen-bizarre yet beautifully coupled! It is a rollercoaster ride- with the
stupor of Capt. Haddock & the astuteness of Tintin!
What memories lay repressed behind
the veil of Capt. Haddock’s drunkenness? What connection does Sakharine have
with Capt. Haddock? Why does Sakhrine need Capt. Haddock? Will the motor-mouthed
blabbering cops Thompson & Thompson be able to help Tintin? What secrets
does the unicorn hold?
Beautiful animation brings out a carnival of delightful characters & outstanding voiceovers add life to them! Tintin's adventure has something for everyone! A tantalizing plot that is a perfect concoction of anticipation & fun; of danger & humour; of savouries & desserts- a recipe for sure shot entertainment! It definitely gratifies the appetite of all- young & old!
