Watch options. Storyline Edit. Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market stall Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Sakharine should be so eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin - accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his gang as they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship. Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock, but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn.
Haddock tells Tintin that over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock was forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were secreted in models of the Unicorn.
Tintin and Sakharine have one each and the villain intends to use the glass-shattering top Cs of operatic soprano the Milanese Nightingale to secure the third.
With aid from bumbling Interpol agents the Thompson Twins our boy hero, his dog and the captain must prevent Sakharine from obtaining all three scrolls to fulfil the prophesy that only the last of the Haddocks can discover the treasure's whereabouts. This year, discover how far adventure will take you.

User reviews Review. Top review. A Great film for all ages. I went to see this film in a free screening and took my nephew and niece with me, seeing as it was a family film to try and get different reactions to the film. Let me start off with my view of the film, I've been a fan of Tintin since I first saw the cartoon back in the early 90's, though never read the comics. You have Spielberg directing, Peter Jackson as a producer.
The version of the film i saw was 3d, as it was a preview and i didn't have a choice. Normally i watch all my showing in 2d as i think its personally a fad and a rip off and the films i have seen excluding Avatar, i didn't think the 3d aspect improved the film going enjoyment one bit. I would have been happy with a basic 2d version. As soon as he buys it he gets a number of offers of people willing to buy it from him, which TinTtn rejects.
When he gets home Snowy, Tintin dog, breaks the ship and a hidden clue rolls out, which begins Tintin trying to work out what it means. Tintin then gets kidnapped by the evil Ivanovich Sakharine Daniel Craig , who is after the clue.
This where Tintin mets up with Captain Haddock as they set of trying to work out the meaning of Tintin clue. The film is a really mixture of action and adventure. The time flew past for me and not once did i feel bored, this was probably down to the amount going with the film, the quick pace of the action and the different locations of the characters were always in.
It reminded me of the Indiana Jones films a lot, where he is on the hunt for treasure, and he only has half of the clues, and the bad guys have the others half and both sides are trying to get the other half for the themselves. He then needs to go around the globe via different transportation to get the info he needs to find the treasure.
There is also a large amount of humour in the film, seeing as Moffat, who wrote coupling helped write it, this is no big surprise. While i got the jokes neither my nephew 3 nor niece 8 did. So I am assuming that these were aim at the adults watching. The bad guy, Sakharine, is perfect, scary enough to make you believe that he is ruthless killer who is a greedy and after revenge, but on the other had not going over board to make the kids feel scared or afraid of him when he was on screen.
There is also the two comic relief characters of inspector Thomson, who are on screen just enough to make you smile at the pratfalls and their stupidness, but not too long for the jokes to wear thin so you're sick of seeing them. My rating of the film would be 4 out of 5. Read our privacy policy. Thank you! To verify your email, please enter the 4-digit code you received at.

It's rated PG; how PG is it? This is the most important factor in this review. Tintin is not an adult; however he does live alone with a dog and has a job. He also owns and uses a pistol several times throughout the movie. Plus, the companion who joins him in this adventure is an alcoholic.
In fact, he can barely function correctly without his whiskey. Think of him as the anti-Popeye. Explaining these things to younger children might prove difficult — however, your mileage may vary.
The other thing I noticed was that Tintin took a few blows to the head. It is better than him being shot, but also needs to be addressed with children. I did not like the idea that my 7-year-old thought this would be a good way to get his sister to "go to bed. Do I need to get there in time to see some good trailers?
Nothing spectacular.
