Took 6 10-yr-olds, 15 y.o., hubby & me...all agree it was terrible. The kids didn't get the symbolism at all--they thought the kid needed a time out! I fell asleep. My husband had watched the making of the movie on HBO prior to going so at least knew what was happening. It was a waste of two hours--and we splurged on the IMAX experience...not worth it at all!
