Hugo Movie Story Line:- Life has a strange way of pulling us down to rock bottom levels, only to shove us up high once again, once we gain an appreciation of the value of being at the top. Something similar happens to the lead character, Hugo, in the film by the same name, as he goes from being a scantily clad, homeless young boy, to the keeper of one of history’s greatest secrets. Shot in 3D, the film is a deeply moving account of the world of cinema, which is not just intensely captivating, but also immensely informative. How a young boy, cinematic archives, and a world packed with fantasy, are brilliantly merged into a single plot, is something that you’ll have to find out for yourself as you watch Hugo online. Director Martin Scorsese does a brilliant job at adapting the novel, ‘The Adaptation of Hugo Cabret’, on which the movie is based. Child actor Asa Butterfield does a great job at portraying the role of Hugo, emerging as a believable character, who tugs at our heartstrings. It is beautiful to watch him gladly accepting his life as a clock watcher at a London railway station, and accepting his role as the holder of a massive secret that he accidentally stumbles upon, with equal grace. We watch him befriending a young girl with an eccentric personality, and a rude, yet helpful man, along the journey. By the end of the movie, Hugo ends up becoming a name that you will never want to forget.

Hugo Movie Review:- What Martin Scorcese has managed to do is add story dimensionality to a family film that has 3D technology. Some of the dimensions he's included which don't always make into Hollywood blockbusters are an imaginative and original concept, thematic unity and resonance and deft homage to film itself, in the story of Georges Méliès, French film pioneer.

Saw the film in an advance screening and we were among the many there who were obviously not standard family film consumers. This being a Scorcese film is likely to bring lots of adults to Hugo and I would think many of them, like me, will feel the film stands up as entertainment for all age groups.

I especially enjoyed the resonance and intricacy of the theme of clocks, clockworks, animatronics and "the ghost in the machine"--our fear, in the post industrial age that perhaps we are just a rather complex machine, rather than a divine creation. This is all beautifully rendered cinematically. I doubt the little ones will be bewildered while older viewers can pick out levels and layers in the film.

Good fun and visually interesting throughout. The 3D is used in service of the story. I hope Hollywood is watching and notices that special effects are only special when they get the heart of the machine working, like Hugo's little man.
