The Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, is already drawing raves from critic and moviegoers alike and is wholeheartedly embraced by millions of Middle Earth fans worldwide.
Top-billed by Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett and horror veteran Christopher Lee, Fellowship is an amazing adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic. Along with great performances from the cast, the movie boasts of breathtaking camera work. The camera soars to reveal an eerie dark sky, swoops to follow an escape via wings, plunges to show orcs mining the earth for brutal urik hair warriors, and zooms out to let you marvel at the grand landscapes. Still, the movie’s biggest strength is how it feels real and not just a hodgepodge of special effects and fantastic production design. The Dark Lord and his armies are a palpable threat all throughout and the locations, sets and effects are fantastic yet utterly believable.
