What happens
when a mean-looking French animal control officer decides that she wants a
lion's head to adorn her already trophy-laden wall? And when that lion happens
to be Alex, who with his friends Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo and Melman
the giraffe wants to go back to their Zoo in Central Park, New York, well it
calls for an inter-continental trip of sorts.
The penguins fly to Monaco, leaving Alex and
his friends behind and promising to return back. But they don't really have any
such plan. Alex and the others meanwhile decide that they too should go to
Monaco and then find the penguins so they can fly them to New York. On reaching
Europe, the team creates a scene in a Casino and gets spotted by Captain
Chantel DuBois. She decides that she wants Alex's head for herself. From there
on it’s a complete blast. As Alex tries to escape the claws and tranquilizers of
Dubois, they meet a bunch of Circus animals on a train to Rome. The journey takes
them to Rome and London where a sponsor may finance their trip to New York.
Where does their new circus adventure take them and whether they succeed in
avoiding the clutches of DuBois, will keep you at the edge of your seat.
The movie is a
treat for kids and adults alike. And it doesn’t matter if you have not seen the
earlier two movies. The movie refreshes you totally and is not
very lengthy (only 90 minutes) either. Although the plot slows down a
bit at the end of the first half, but the second half is simply entertaining
and not a dull moment to be found. Not to forget the 3D effects. They
are superbly stunning and you will be left closing your eyes when Stefano
the sea lion shoots in your direction from the cannon or the multitudes of
other random scenes. It surely is very realistic.
Madagascar 3 ensures
that you have a smile on your face all throughout the movie. I would certainly
recommend it to those you watch movies purely for relaxation and entertainment.
Go catch a show and let the child within you awaken.
