Regarded as one of the most entertaining animated movies to come from Disney’s stable in the past few years, Moana drew considerable praise for its story, songs and above all, the gorgeous visuals which are best suited for a 3D experience. A mix of hand-drawn and 3D computer animation was used to create the beautiful scenes depicting the moving tattoos which adorn the body of the character Maui and the oceanic expanse respectively. The film also garnered an Academy Awards nomination and went on to score big at the global box office.

14. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
IMDb Rating: 7.6/10
IMDb Rating: 7.9/10
Thor: Ragnarok, the latest film in the Thor trilogy, is also the best one in the series. The story is good, the comedic elements are just awesome and the fight sequences are stylishly choreographed. But what truly stands out in case of the Taika Waititi-directed movie is the impressive use of stereoscopic CGI and visual effects which comes to life when the movie is seen in 3D. The experience of watching Thor’s electrifying entry for his battle with Hela backed by the rousing guitar riffs of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song’ is something you don’t want to miss out on.

IMDb Rating: 6.6/10
Ryan Reynolds is the voice of Pikachu in Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. Need I say more? The realistically furry version of the yellow Pokemon looks cute beyond measure, and that detective hat makes Pikachu look incredible. Appearance aside, the urban fantasy mystery film is basically a loose adaptation of the 2016 video game of the same name. The first live-action Pokemon film is about aspiring trainer Tim Goodman and the titular Pokemon as they endeavor to find out the mysterious disappearance of Tim’s father, Harry.
