As the movie begins, we see a totally different Shrek than we have before. Gone is the gruff, do what he wants Shrek. Family life has turned him into (in his own eyes) a domesticated, soft ogre too busy with the kids and wife to do anything fun anymore. He has become a celebrity in his own town, and the townspeople who used to fear and avoid him now love him and find him cute an adorable house husband ogre.
His suddenly rigid lifestyle with a wife and 3 kids is not what Shrek had bargained for, and he finds himself wishing he had a different life, one where he wasn't shackled to a family. This is when he meets Rumpelstiltskin, the bad guy in this movie. Rumpelstiltskin overhears Shrek's grumblings and offers to make his life different. Shrek doesn't realize this guy is bad, and wants out of his life so badly that he makes a deal with the devil to get a new life.
This is where the movie becomes a sort of It's a Wonderful Life. Shrek is suddenly cast away into an alternate Far Far Away land where he has never been born. No one knows who he is, and all his former friends are in different roles former wife Fiona is now a tough warrior leading a gang of rebel ogres, Donkey is in servitude to a group of very irritating, always babbling witches, Puss In Boots is a fat, pampered domesticated housecat, and Rumpelstiltskin is the King.
Shrek quickly begins to miss his family and friends and wishes he had his old life back. Rumpelstiltskin had told him that the only way to get back to his former life would be to get a kiss from his one true love Fiona. He then sets out to try to woo her back.
The rest of the picture is of Shrek doing everything he can to get Fiona and his former life back. Things get hysterical as Shrek tries different methods to get a kiss from the now battle-tested, tough warrior Fiona. The jokes and funny scenes come fast and furious.
Antonio Banders steals every scene Puss In Boots is in. The writers seem to have given him and Donkey the best lines in the movie. Try to keep from laughing as Donkey has to deal with his cackling employer witches.
Now about the 3D it works well. Thankfully, the director didn't try to force 3-D scenes into the storyline just for show. In the places where 3D is shown, it really adds to that part of the story. Especially when the witches are chasing Shrek and Donkey in a sky-high broom chase. But the effect is best used during the final, breathtaking battle sequence. This is easily the most impressive display of animation in the entire Shrek library.
Shrek For Ever After is easily the best sequel of the bunch. The story about being appreciative of what you have is a good lesson learned no matter how old you are. If this really is the last Shrek movie, then the franchise ends on a classy, unforgettable high. Your entire family is sure to love this movie.
