I took my 10 year old son to see this. The movie was very enjoyable, with more highlights than lowlights. Jim Carrey did a great job as Scrooge, without overdoing it. The IMAX 3-D was awesome, with some scenes making you feel like you were in the movie itself. i agree, though, that some scenes may be a little too intense for the younger ones. Even my 10 year old was getting a little spooked at some points but he hung in there. I would recommend this movie. Go IMAX if you can, if not, regular 3-D should be fine.
