Early Man (2018)
Sliced bread! Wow! This is the best thing since…well, ever
Nick Park pits British cavemen against bronze age interlopers in his gloriously funny take on the prehistoric birth of the beautiful game. Unsurprisingly, it’s a hoot. Starting in the Neo-Pleistocene era – because when a pun like that just presents itself, you don’t turn it down – Early Man is about a tribe of stone-age stragglers in a world that’s moved on to bronze. Foremost among them is Dug (Eddie Redmayne), who hunts rabbits in a fertile valley with his porcine sidekick Hognob at his flank. Past the forests lie nothing but lava-scarred badlands – or so Dug thinks. Then a raiding party stomps in on mammoth-back, led by the grasping, supercilious Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston), and equipped with all the latest newly smelted tech. They claim the place for themselves, and Dug’s people can do nothing about it. Their only hope is to win back their land in a high-stakes football match against Nooth’s club, Real Bronzio. There is, quite literally, everything to play for.
