Having seen the four movies, played some of the video-game versions and even recounted many of its not-so-famous puns to friends, I'd say I'm a fair fan of the Shrek franchise despite its undeniable drop in movie quality in its third film, so seeing the Shrek 4-D experience at Universal Studios Florida was pretty much a must this summer. Some deja vu will hit riders when they realise the attraction was designed as a bridge between the first and second film, so sees Shrek and Fiona on their honeymoon before meeting the latter's parents, going off to find the future King Arthur or being thrust into an alternate reality by Rumpelstiltskin. The plot here is fairly thin, seeing Fiona captured by a resurrected Lord Farquad (with no reasoning as to his survival or his sudden change of heart with regards to Fiona's ogre form) and Shrek and Donkey attempting to rescue her before she joins the short villian in the underworld. Much of the series' likeable humour between Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy is still present, making for a immersive Shrek viewing. The only problem comes with the fact it's still simply a show with some simulator elements, so you're not totally engaged, but that doesn't stop this prelude being worth a visit.
