Saw this movie Saturday night at an IMAX theater. Did not feel it was worth the extra $5 a ticket to see it that way. Felt they did a great job at making the characters look like they did in the book. The actor that played Max was very talented. Movie seemed to drag on even though it was only 1-1/2 hours long. Was really looking forward to seeing the movie, but walked out of there feeling kinda blah.
