This is how movies should be done. Non stop action and suspense throughout. The cast is excellently assembled with a nice twist at the end. The movie really makes you think about dreams. Highly recommended.
I went into this movie without reading the book. My girlfriend read the book. The movie does a great job in creating a shining exterior fasade that hides deep dark secrets the further the story ventures. For any of you that play games, the atmoshpere is very Rapture/Arkham Asylum like. However, the end left my girlfriend and I arguing over the outcome and what it meant. I'm probably wrong though.
I thought this was going to be like March of the Penguins, but just like everyone else is saying, its just a rehash of the Planet Earth series. Don't take your kids, I had a family of them next to me that narrated the whole thing, they will lose their attention span quickly. Also there are some ungraphic kills, ie chase scense that end with a bite, but nothing that you couldn't explain easily. I just went because Disney promised me a tree.
