I take in my bedroom, placing my location and calming myself enough to correct my breathing.
Ill look over to the other side of the bed.
Somehow, my girlfriend always manages to sleep through it.
I slide back down and settle, as gently as I can be, trying not to wake her.
My mind still feels cluttered and manic, not yet slowed down from the sudden influx of sensations.
Its happened often enough now that I know Ill not be able to get back to sleep.
I lay awake for hours waiting for the morning to seep in through gaps in the curtains.
A film that, even as a Turtlecore child, I never had any time for.
To help keep them occupied, April brings them all some nick-nacks from a flea market.
However, without the time sceptre, theyve no way of returning home to New York.
The Turtles lead Mitsus clan to rescue her, recover the time sceptre and send Walker on his way.
With regard to sets and costumes (for people),Turtles in Timeis pretty great.
Lots of Japanese warriors and large, elaborate sets make this arguably the best looking film in the series.
Its clear to see where a large section of the films budget was spent.
Similar care has been taken with the battle scenes, which arent short on extras or carnage.
Perhaps the biggest positive ofTurtles in Timeis the return of Elias Koteas as Casey Jones.
Koteas also plays the character Wick, a double-crossing English rascal.
Also returning for this entry is Corey Feldman as the voice of Donatello.
Michelangelo actually sounds pretty good, but Raphael and Leonardo really dont sound like they should.
This fuzzy, cutesy version of Splinter doesnt work at all.
Having a Splinter to cuddle up to may help me with my sleeping problem.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are awful.
The treatment of the Turtles in this film is actually really poor.
As well as the suits not looking the part, the characters have all become incredibly annoying.
Gone are the amusing gags, replaced by lame quips like son of a snapper!
Michelangelo gets a human love interest in this film, which is both unnerving and unnecessary.
Unfortunately, theyve not committed to it.
Its the worst of both worlds.
This resulted in a much needed break from the cinema screens that would last for more than a decade.
