is
a

revolves
around
the

Professor
Bomba
(Jason
Sudeikis)
in
a
remote
forest
after
the
death
of

mother.
Their
relationship
is
strained
due
to
her
father's
obsession
with
his
work.
In
fact,
she
is
convinced
that
her
father
has
gone
nuts
when
he
tells
her
that
"the
forest
is
inhabited
by
miniature
beings".
Dejected,
she
ambles
into
the
forest

finds
herself
magically
transported
into
this
secret
universe
filled
with
miniature
yet
larger
than
life
figures,
where
she
witnesses
Queen
Tara
(Beyonce
Knowles)
being
attacked
by
Mandrake
(Christoph
Waltz)
and
his
son.
The
Queen,
before
dying,
hands
over
a
bud
to
Mary
and
instructs
her
to
take
it
to
Nim
Galulu
(Steven
Tyler),
the
eight-footed
caterpillar
who
is
the
historian
of
the
universe
who
will
help
them
find
an
heir
to
the
throne.
Lost
and
not
knowing
what
to
do,
she
teams
up
with
Ronin
(Colin
Farrell),
the
leader
of
the
mythical
creatures
known
as
Leaf
Men,
who
is
also
the
Queen's
trusted
commander,
Nod
(Josh
Hutcherson),
Slug
(Aziz
Ansari)
and
Snail
(Chris
O'Dowd),
on
this
great
mission
to
save
their
world
and
hers.

Epic
-
Review
From
the
makers
of
Ice
Age
and
Rio,
Epic
is
truly
a
grand
scale
escapade
that
reveals
a
mystical
world
unlike
any
other.
The
film
looks
spectacular
with
beautiful,
lush,
green
landscapes
and
a
multitude
of
well-rendered
animals,
insects
and
birds.
The
entire
creation
is
impressive
with
all
the
characters
well
drawn,
unique
and
life
like.
Comic
Relief
In
Epic
The
comic
relief
is
provided
in
the
form
of
a
Slug
and
a
Snail
as
well
as
a
scene-stealing
three-legged
pug.
The
jokes
arrive
with
varying
degrees
of
success,
but
they
are
always
welcome
as
the
rest
of
the
film
takes
itself
incredibly
seriously.
