The Emoji Movie (3D)

Not Easy Being Meh.


The Emoji Movie
The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favourite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression - except for Gene, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become ’’normal’’ like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. Together, they embark on an epic ’’app-venture’’ through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever. This film was famously part of RottenTomatoes ’’Zero’’ club for a while. At the time of writing, it comes in at number 29 on the IMDB’s Bottom 100 list. This film is releasing in 2D and 3D. This is the 3D version.
