The character detail was incredible - true to life. In fact, even the reflections in the eyes were accurate. I jumped on a few occasions; but to me, that made it good. However, a word of warning for parents with younger children - kids under age 5 started crying, asking to go home - loudly! Parents, please don't take little kids to this movie. It offers dark imagery meant to scare Scrooge. This was Dickens' intent, and incredibly well done in the movie. This was my first IMAX experience; so glad it was this movie!
