3 Buckets of Popcorn
Really Good Movie. Lots of Action
Excellent use of 3D!
Great use of the 3D effects, keeping true to the original graphic novel, and awesome CGI seamlessly integrated with fine acting makes this remake of the classic “Judge Dredd” movie with Sylvester Stallone well worth seeing! Set in the future where crime is rampant with unemployment statistics given for each megaplex apartment building where 75,000 to 100,000 people try to survive with 98% unemployment and gangs running everything, only the police who work from the “Hall of Justice” try to keep things remotely civil. With so much crime, the police have been given full authority to act as jury, judge, and executioners of the justice they decree on the spot.
Karl Urban steps into the iconic role of Judge Dredd after being in other blockbuster movies such as Star Trek (Bones), The Bourne Supremacy (Kirill), The Chronicles of Riddick (Vaako), and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Eomer). You never see more than just his mouth and chin though, true to the graphic novel, he never removes his Judge helmet.

Ma-Ma is a bad ass bitch in Dredd 3D
When Judge Dredd responds to a report of a multi-murder at the complex with a rookie probationary psychic female judge riding along on her first day as a cop, they antagonize Ma-Ma and she shuts down the building’s blast shields and begins an all-out assault against the trapped judge/cops. When they attempt to call for backup, they discover their radios will not transmit outside of the blast shields and they are on their own.

I enjoyed this futuristic perspective on what will happen to civilization in the future. I hope it is wrong, or at least that I’m outta here, as well as my children and grandson before things get that bad!
