Dredd 3. D Review Screen Rant. Dredd 3. D offers an extremely enjoyable action ride and, for some, might even stand as one of Hollywoods most entertaining comic book adaptations. Watch Senseless Streaming more. The 1. 99. 5 Judge Dredd movie starring Sylvester Stallone remains a guilty pleasure adventure for plenty of action fans, not to mention a never ending Internet meme generator, but fell short of expectations for many comic book diehards. While Stallone may have been taking the role seriously, the campy one liners and melodramatic character interaction undercut some of the most enjoyable qualities in the Judge Dredd character namely a ruthless and faceless judge, jury, and instant executioner.

Very few films have ever received the failing grade or, if they have, made a boxoffice recovery. Rising above the standard skepticism surrounding franchise reboots, fans as well as action lovers remained cautiously optimistic about director Pete Travis and star Karl Urbans Dredd 3. D. Despite the optimism, early plot synopses and feature trailers drew strong comparisons to the premise of Gareth Evans Indonesian hit, The Raid Redemption  about a team of cops that must fight their way through an apartment complex, one level at a time, to arrest a merciless drug lord causing some moviegoers to worry that Dredd was little more than an uninspired franchise reboot fashioned onto the premise of a lesser known but more original film production. Dredd was actually scripted long before The Raid became a breakout hit but, considering comparability, the film is now faced with an even steeper challenge. So, does Dredd manage to deliver its own action packed and memorable thrill ride one that successfully rebrands Judge Dredd as the gritty character longtime fans remember Fortunately, the answer is yes.

The best laid plans, and all that. ScreenCrush reports almost 30 minutes of the movie have surfaced online, put together in a rough edit of available footage. Dredd delivers in a big way. Theres no doubt the film shares plot similarities with The Raid, but for every jaw dropping knife fight in Evans film, Travis offers a comparably fun gun battle and plenty of iconic Dredd scowl. Ultimately, Dredd is a grounded action experience relying heavily on the titular characters physicality and gruff personality to keep things entertaining. There are some fast paced set pieces such as the opening motorcycle chase and loads of slick visuals thanks to the Slo Mo drug at the center of the plot but instead of over the top action, moviegoers are treated to a smart combination of entertaining character moments, an intriguing near future backdrop, and thin but enjoyable plot points that make room for Dredd to take center stage dispatching one thug after another in a variety of brutal conflicts. Judge Dredd Karl Urban and Anderson Olivia Thirlby in DreddInstead of spending time introducing audience members to a backstory of how Dredd became the most feared Judge in Mega City One, the film presents the character much like in the comics as a faceless force of nature that will stop at nothing to enact justice and protect innocent lives. When Dredd and a would be Judge Anderson Olivia Thirlby respond to a series of homicides in the Peach Trees slum block, the pair begin an investigation that threatens infamous drug kingpin Madeline Madrigal aka Ma Ma Lena Headey, whose Slo Mo is quickly becoming the narcotic of choice in the city. In an effort to retain her control over Peach Trees, Ma Ma locks down the 2. Judges. With nowhere to escape, and no backup, Dredd and Anderson are forced to fight their way through Peach Trees clearing the complex one floor at a time in an against all odds attempt to free Mega City One from Ma Mas grasp. Anyone looking for a deep Batman Begins character piece will likely be underwhelmed by the storyline in Dredd as the movie is significantly more interested in the crisis at hand rather than trials the Judge may have faced in the past. Travis is unapologetic in this approach as even Anderson appears to know better than to dig around behind Dredds helmet. However, Dredd has never been a character that needed a lot of exploration and the narrow focus of the film allows for an unapologetic and fun opportunity to watch the Judge, armed with limited resources and ammunition, react to a variety of challenging circumstances. Urban, who never takes off his helmet during the entire film, embodies the dry humor and cold wit of Dredd at every turn with a gravelly voice, imposing physicality, and an unrelentingiconic frown. Thirlby as Anderson is also a smart juxtaposition for the callous and veteran Dredd. The actress offers a rookie perspective, while appearing at home with the violence around her, assisting in teaching the audience about this version of Mega City One and the Judges without in your face exposition that might otherwise inundate the action. Despite her inexperience and smaller frame, Anderson has the added benefit of psychic abilities that lead to a number of the films most entertaining moments. Headeys Ma Ma, on the other hand, is mostly presented as a Mac. Guffin a problem that must be addressed more than a multilayered person. Travis provides a backstory for the character and she serves her function in the larger Dredd plot to regularly instigate the Judges but is, without a doubt, underserved by the final film. Ma Mas characterization wont bother most viewers, but next to captivating versions of Dredd and Anderson, the villain falls a bit flat especially with a talented actress like Headey Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones in the role. Ma Ma Lena Headey in DreddAs mentioned, the action in Dredd is grounded and there are no giant robot fights this round. Travis relies almost entirely on practical effects letting the characters and explosions sell the film experience. Moviegoers who are easily wooed by style over substance CGI action fare like Resident Evil Retribution might be underwhelmed by the, at times, limited scope of Dredds action sequences. Instead, the movie focuses directly on its titular character, following the Judge through one explosive hurdle after another. The conflicts are fun, and considering the heroes are significantly outnumbered and low on ammunition, each quarrel presents a different side of Dredd and Andersons respective skill sets allowing the movie to showcase Dredds ingenuity instead of dropping him into one brainless gunfight after another. Dredd is showing in 2. D and 3. D theaters, and while many moviegoers might be skeptical about the premium upcharge, the 3. D is worth the added price. The Slo Mo drug sequences are especially enjoyable in 3.
