I think they should have either toned down the look of the film for a live action version or just replaced the actors with stylized CGI characters. Having the anchor of real actors in a sea of such extreme, colorful, physics-bending environments just doesn't work for me. Having said that, I actually think this would have worked much, much better if they had just gone all the way and made it a completely CGI animated film.

It seems weird and my mind battles to figure out whether it's looking at a CGI animated movie or a live action film. I blame George Lucas for introducing the idea of sticking live actors into 99% CGI environments. Except for the obviously monsterous budget of the movie, it struck me that if it had been only 10 minutes long it could have been considered some indie experimental film. It wasn't just the psychedelic visuals that bothered me - it was the placing of live action characters into that canvas.

I'm actually not sure if watching this in IMAX may have been a bad idea - this movie may be similar to Cloverfield in that it may be better viewed on a TV screen. It truly is an eyeball-shattering intense CGI-carnival assault on the senses. The visuals, on that enormous screen were for lack of a better word: crazy. Again, remember this is a review of the IMAX version of the film, so that influences my reaction to it. While I really think Speed Racer is a "love it or hate it" kind of movie, I managed to fall somewhere in the middle.

So I guess they only earn income from race winnings?Īnyway, they are approached by the owner of Royalton Industries, a snake-charmer of a guy who wants to bring the Racer family on board in order to "give them a better life." Of course there's a catch and it's eventually revealed to Speed who declines and is then a target on the track of every other driver in any race. The "Racer" family are independent racers, with no corporate sponsers (who Pops considers "the devil").

Eventually it seems that he himself is claimed as a casualty in a fatal car wreck of his own in an ice cave.Ĭut to Speed as a young man (21?) and he's on the rise as one of the hottest race car drivers out there. From there Rex seems to "go to the dark side" becoming one of the most notorious drivers on the race circuit., causing crashes and all sorts of mayhem. Soon thereafter Rex leaves home on bad terms with his father, "Pops" Racer who tells Rex if he leaves he can never come back. In one rather silly moment, Rex tells Speed to close his eyes so he can hear what the car is telling him - while rocketing down a curve-laden track at speeds over 100mph.

The Mach 6 has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions: It is created after the first one, the Mach 5 was equipped with defensive mechanisms for the Crucible/Casa Cristo race. The Mach 6 is Speed Racer's second car with an improved engine. The car comes with jump jacks as an accessory in single packs, or with saw blades when in a two-pack. Mach 6 is a tie-in with the 2008 Speed Racer movie.
