The only reason I gave it 4 not 5 stars was because of my expectations of the combination of Tim Burton, Disney, and 3D IMAX-- it fell a little short. The 3D effects seemed more intense in the previews, as far as things coming out at you, but in overall depth perception, the inagery was awesome. And anything Jonny Depp touches in my mind is brilliant. I liked the story and the characters and thought the movie moved quite quickly and smoothy.
