Well this is the first time Smurfs movie was done in 3D animation. The
previous 2 movies were all combined with humans with some well known
actors and actresses played in the movie such as Neil Patrick Harris,
Jayma Mays and Hank Azaria. The animation of this movie was done very
beautifully and I am pretty sure the 3D effects are very good (although
I did not see the movie in 3D, but I can imagine some scenes that would
be very great seen in 3D). Furthermore, the movie was shot in 3D and
not converted into 3D at later stage like other recent live action
movies. So the effects would definitely be good.
The movie seemed to be aimed for children and family as there was no heavy story line and the movie also felt very colorful, with few nice songs here and there. The jokes/humors were not the adult type and should be easily understood. So parents should not be worried of bringing their kids to see this movie. My wife and I enjoyed the movie as it was quite light and was funny with some touching moments as well, plus some good moral message.
Because the movie was aimed for the younger children audience and putting emphasis on the cuteness of the smurfs, it should not be compared to heavier animated movies like Disney or Pixar production such as Toy Story, Moana and so on. I am confident that if you go to see this one with the objective of being entertained and had some good laughs and to see those cute smurfs, you would definitely be satisfied.
In addition to the above, it also had some other well known names providing their voices such as Julia Roberts, Michelle Rodriguez even Meghan Trainor who also sung a song titled I'm A Lady. By the way, during the end credit, there was some brief funny scene that you could enjoy. So be sure to wait in the cinema and watch this part before you leave.
So if you are a fan of Smurfs and want to see them running around, providing funny moments, plus the usual chasing of Gargamel and Azrael, then you would not be disappointed. But if you are looking for some serious animated movie, then beware that this is not that kind of movie.

The only female Smurf, Smurfette, is desperate to discover her purpose,
having been created by the evil wizard Gargamel. One day while out in
the forbidden forest she stumbles upon a lost village of Smurfs which
may just uncover her destiny.
Having seen the trailer I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised. I mean of course it's rubbish, but there were quite a few well written moments that I chuckled at (like the introduction of the Smurfs). The sound is well created too, particularly the effects, but the visuals are not quite so consistent. The creatures themselves look like PlayStation 2 characters yet the scenery surrounding them look a lot more vivid and textured (especially the river). The cast is pretty abysmal though, an unrecognisable Julia Roberts being just about the best thing about the emotionless speech. The story is strong enough to keep the audience's attention and there are more than enough gags to satisfy the under 8s, even if as a parent you might get a little bored. But all in all, it's a reasonable attempt at making a fun kids' film with a message.
On first view this might seem like an unnecessary reboot, but there's actually more than enough merit to warrant it, even if there's not enough to make it a success.

"Smurfs: The Lost Village" is a story that fits nicely between the
classic Peyo comics and the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon. The
animation is beautifully done. There is no way you can take every
little detail in with just one viewing. The plot is fairly
straightforward with adventure at the forefront. This film avoids the
misplaced pop culture references and overused Smurf puns that many
disliked about the previous movies. "Smurfs: The Lost Village" aims for
a younger audience, but adults shouldn't have a problem remembering why
they liked these characters themselves.
I went to see this film with my family today. It was beautifully made
and had plenty of laughs involving Gargamel and his minions. I also
liked the way that the plot from the Smurfs 2 sort of carried on a
little, but only having ONE human in this film made it much better. No
New York or Paris. Firmly in the Smurfs world where they all belong. My
only gripe is that some of the pop songs were a bit annoying. I would
recommend anyone to go and see this film. Forget about Smurfs 1 and 2
and even Hannah Barbara! This is TRUE Peyo!
So as a Smurf collector & fan everyone assumes I will be biased ... but
having watched Smurfs & Smurfs 2 & only felt they were OK ... The
Smurfs: The Lost Village is in a completely different league! The
animation is fantastic, glossy and so detailed without the characters
seeming too perfect or losing their Smurfy appeal. My 5 year old son
was in awe & visibly absorbed into the journey & it held his attention
for the duration ... he giggled, laughed, was scared, even had tears at
one point. A perfect response to a great movie! Even my husband -
definitely not a smurf fan - chuckled throughout & admitted enjoyment!
Highly recommending this film for families & individuals alike ... it
will not disappoint! Well done Sony Productions! Another one please!
