I have to admit that I had gone into this movie with alot of skeptisism as far as the dimensional effects. That being said, I'm a huge fan of this story and prior to seeing this version of the film my favorite had always been the original. Aside from providing my date and I with a most wonderful experience, the entire theatre was errupting with the same emotions, fears and physical reactions. At one point I placed my right hand in front of my face, at arm's length, and a snowflake fell between my face and hand. The only thing I would change is the rating should be PG-13. The 3D effects were so good the movie can be frightening.
Unfortunately the makers of this film are riding the coat tails of other authors and ancient civilizations to lure a huge crowd to see this horrible, in my opinion, D movie. I personally watched 3 movies on SyFy channel over the weekend and for the life of me I can't differenciate between those 3 movies and this one. For the price of the ticket and the committment of nearly 3 hours of your time, I would think the show would stand out way above some made for TV versions. Again, don't waste your money, wait until it plays on cable for free. On an off note, A Christmas Carol in 3D was the best movie experience I've ever had. Can't wait until the Avatar movie comes out next month.
