CARS 2

Pixar's inventive sequel brings back its familiar characters and throws in a spy thriller plot with secret weapons, sinister villains and clandestine agents. It also teaches kid-friendly lessons about friendship and being you.

"Cars 2" makes entertaining and inventive use of 3-D technology. With a plot that includes life-and-death action sequences, thrilling auto races and panoramic scenic vistas, the opportunities for enhanced perspective are considerable and the Pixar team makes better use of them than most live-action films.

Despite all these technological wonders, "Cars 2" never forgets the heartfelt sensibility that is its dramatic heritage."Cars 2" teaches gentle kid-friendly lessons about the importance of friendship and being yourself and introduces some great new characters in its parallel spy drama and auto racing plots.

"Cars 2" opens in the middle of its spy drama and introduces suave, sophisticated secret agent Finn McMissile. Impeccably voiced by Michael Caine, McMissile is totally unflappable in all situations, even being pursued on the top of an oil platform by the dreaded Professor Z (Thomas Kretschmann) and his merciless automotive minions.

Also a factor in McQueen's decision to race is his irritation at the sky-high smugness of his chief rival, Italian Formula One car Francesco Bernoulli, hilariously voiced by John Turturro as a self-involved individual given to saying things like, "when I want to go to sleep, I watch one of McQueen's races."

This movie is a must watch and guys I highly recommend that all of you should watch it.
