Intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor.
This animated adaptation of the beloved comics classic is made with all the expertise and sure instinct you'd expect from its makers, but for the same reasons it appears like the obligatory test result from the best pupil in the class with Herge's magic lost somwhere along the way...
Maltin**: "Old-fashioned adventure yarn...Using performance-capture technology to precisely reproduce the look of Herge's drawings (no matter how odd), Spielberg and coproducer Peter Jackson deliver a relentless video-game like film that never stops to take a breath. It starts out as fun, but by the end you're not so much excited as exhausted."
