Premise: Ten-year-old Arthur has a lot on his plate: a real estate developer is about to snap up his grandma's home--and there's no way Arthur's going to hang around for his parents or grandparents to sort out the problem. Maybe the solution lies in his grandpa's treasure, which is hidden somewhere on the "other side" in the land of the Minimoys. The creatures that inhabit this world are just a tenth of an inch tall and live in perfect harmony with their environment. Arthur ventures into this world of the Minimoys, where he meets Princess Selenia and her brother Betameche. Together they set off to look for the treasure that will save his grandma.

luc besson.  what the hell happened to you?  the cgi in this looks terrible.  and the characters look like troll dolls.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Who's shocked? Are you referring to the golden times when he made classics like The Fifth Element? The only person who is heralding his career right now is himself. He threatens the world with retirement when barely anyone has noticed him for over 10 years. He's never had an illustrious career to garner any huge interest. His lackluster filmography suggests that Leon and La Femme Nikita were exceptions instead of standards.

I feel like a Hollywood producer with him. When he keeps wanting to experiment, I just want him to re-do those two films over and over again.
