How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World Movie Review - Flight of Fantasy
The final instalment in the Dragon trilogy closes with a satisfying conclusion mounted on some dazzling visuals.
Cast - Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, Justin Rupple, Kristen Wiig, F. Murray Abraham, Jonah Hill
Directed By - Dean DeBlois
Genre - Animation, Action, Adventure, Fantasy
It's been almost a year since the events of How to Train Your Dragon 2. Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) has been made the chief of Berk and continues to rescue caged dragons along with his team taking them back to his wonderland. His rescue operations have flooded Berk with dragons, but he cares for them enough to ignore the congregation. He has his mother Valka (Cate Blanchett), his girlfriend Astrid (America Ferrera) and other friendly faces from the previous instalments. There is Tuffnut (Justin Rupple) having some hilarious man-to-man talk with Hiccup and Snotlout (Jonah Hill) falling for Valka. Soon, the heroic actions of Hiccup come under the radar of Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham) who plans to destroy Hiccup's beloved friend and dragon, Toothless.
This is where the title "The Hidden World" comes into play. In his childhood, Hiccup had learned about this place which is somewhere near the end of the world. His father used to tell him stories about the great waterfalls situated there and how he plans to seal the place in order to protect both the humans and the dragons. As expected, Hiccup sets on a quest to find this "Hidden World" where he believes that both the dragons and the Vikings can live together in harmony.
The quest proves romantically beneficial for Toothless as he discovers the love of his life called as Lightfury. He tries to impress her as she frequently runs away from him. In his pursuit of having her, we get to see some astonishing powers of Toothless. He pushes his boundaries and discovers his place. Love, after all, is a beautiful crazy thing. It makes you do things that you won't do otherwise.
This is the third and final film in the series, and like the previous ones, it passes again with flying colours. It hypnotises with stunning visuals and action sequences then takes a break for some character development. Kudos to Dean DeBlois on achieving this rare milestone of making three successful movies in a trilogy.
There is so much going on here as the characters undergo conflicts and try to resolve them or come up with a solution. It is said that too many ingredients spoil the dish. But DeBlois manages to separate each element with the other giving them time to shine in their moments. The tone is surprisingly well-balanced and the tension never completely wears off in spite of the occasional humour thrown during the serious situations. It mocks some traditional scenes like the one in the beginning which takes place on a ship.
Many would find the villain to be the weak spot as he is not given any depth. It summarises him with dialogue or two. This, however, was just a simple take on a subject. Not everything needs to be deep and in detail. In the end, this is a film made for the children.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is a children's film that also has an appeal for the adults. The language is universal and will connect with people of all ages. By language, I don't mean the English words but the concept of family and relationships. Kids can enjoy it like a fairytale while the adults can gain some valuable insights from it. Although your kid might not catch up on the social subtext displayed here like discrimination, racism and acceptance, it still will feed their minds with good thoughts, positive values and friendly attitude.
