My wife and I paid $26 bucks for this movie before ever even buying popcorn! Ahh...anyway, The movie was good. We enjoyed the 3D effects and the whole cinemaphotography experience.
We both thought Jim Carrey played a good Scrooge and although the movie was "dark" in humor and was geared more towards adults, it was a fun way to kick off the Holiday Season. The movie itself was a little DARK to view in spots....(the overall lighting of the movie was dark to me.) But I know for setting the vibe and atmosphere, that was probably intentional.
It was breathtaking to see the effects and how 3D has come along over the years. It was a good twist on an old classic story.
