I would recommend you watch this movie for the well-told story, and the 3D is outstanding that makes Hugo a masterpiece. This book is about the history of automata (it’s pronounced aw-TOM-ah-tah). Hugo in 3D looks like a flip-up picture book for 6 year olds. One of my main inspirations for The Invention of Hugo Cabret was a book called Edison’s Eve: A Magical Quest for Mechanical Life by an author named Gaby Wood. The 3D was incredible and gives James Cameron’s Avatar a run for its money. Ben Kingsley playing as Georges Melies was great, but it was a bit challenging for him because he wasnt in the movie that much.

Asa Butterfield playing as Hugo Cabret was amazing in this movie, he’s the best young actor I’ve seen in 2011, Chloë Grace Moretz playing as Isabelle did spectacular as she has played so many big roles from Kick Ass, Let Me In and Diary of a Wimpy Kid this one is one of her best. Another part of the movie I liked is that they show you some really rare films that were created a century ago. All of my questions were answered and I was not confused when the movie told me everything that was kept hidden. The movie had so many secrets that I wanted to know, just like Hugo and Isabelle. Hugo and Isabelle go on an extraordinary adventure together to find out picture The Automaton drew. Hugo and Isabelle go together to put the key into the Automaton to work and the Automaton starts drawing a picture of a film scene Hugo remembers. Hugo gains the assistance of Isabelle and asks her to help find this key that is shaped like a heart for the Automaton to function. After George’s takes away the blueprints Hugo follows him to his house and meets his goddaughter Isabelle ( Chloë Grace Moretz). Georges Mlis, played by Ben Kingsley, at one time had big collection of these automata. They worked using clockwork mechanisms and resembled humans or animals. George’s takes the blueprints away from Hugo that he needs to fix the automaton and calls the police for shoplifting. Long before there was electricity, people build these mechanical robots.
#AUTOMATON HUGO HOW TO#
Hugo learns how to repair an automaton at the museum where his father works. Hugo gets caught by the toy store owner George’s Melies ( Ben Kingsley) for shoplifting parts. Since robots and automatons are both machines, how are they different. After he is done he tries to steal mechanical parts to repair a broken Automaton that Hugo’s dad finds in a museum attic, the Automaton is a robot that draws a picture of a film scene when it’s functioning. In the beginning of the movie Hugo Cabret ( Asa Butterfield) is a young orphan taking care of the clocks in the train station that needs to be fixed.

The movie takes place in the Paris Railway Train Station in 1931. Weiss (York College of Pennsylvania) On initial viewing, Martin Scorsese’s 2011 film Hugo is likely to leave viewers puzzled. Hugo was based on the novel by Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Hugo is one of the best films I’ve seen in 2011 it has memorable characters, a well told story and amazing 3D that make it a masterpiece. Asa Butterfield in "Hugo." Photo Credit: Jaap Buitendijk.
