Wreck-It Ralph

Those who used to jump with joy while going through all the worlds and adventures of Mario Bros and those who spent countless hours at the arcades are the ones who can especially and fully comprehend the beauty and nostalgia behind the extraordinary world shown in the movie Wreck-it Ralph.

Ralph is the villain of a game, the typical game of the eighties: day after day, with his huge hands he will destroy the bricks of an apartment building, while Felix, the hero of the game, will repair everything with his magic hammer, with the aim of winning a gold medal and the adoration of the tenants. Finally, in an eternal routine, Ralph ends up being thrown into the nearby swamp, from where he goes back to his house, a dumpster full of building bricks.

What bothers Ralph, and the other villains that integrate his support group, is that their peers do not appreciate them for what they are: an essential element for every game out there. So Ralph, pride wounded, will embark on a crusade to get his own medal, which will take him to a first person shooter game and then to a syrupy sweet racing game, where he meets Vanellope, a "failure" in the system, who just wants a chance to be one of the avatar pilots.

In Wreck-it Ralph the story works with the perfection of a modern game: we accompany the protagonist on a journey that will transform him and in that way we enjoy a world with its own rules, always consistent. Each character has a logic that is never betrayed and ultimately, the surprises that get unfolded, fit properly as puzzle pieces.

The youngest ones will enjoy a movie with a beautiful aesthetic, full of adventures and exciting sequences. As for the oldest ones, we will rememberm,  along with Wreck-it Ralph, that the important thing is to reach the next level.
