There is no doubt that this is a giant leap forward in the history of movie-making. The movie definitely held my interest, but I would have appreciated some depth in the characters and a less predictable plot. Also, the transformer-like machines were over-the-top. I would recommend it to a friend, especially at the I-Max; however, I will not run out and buy it when it comes out on video.
This was my second trip to the comedy zone and I loved it the first time. Last night was a disappointment. McCool was good, but I did not enjoy Gemini, the headline act. He opened with some magic tricks that we could not see because the stage is not raised and a waiter was standing in our line of view. He moved on to tell a joke that my son told me when he was 12. The ventriloquism was ok, but there was way too much audience interaction.
