The 3D and special effects make this movie worth the price of the ticket, even including the extra for the 3D experience. The 3D was very effective. The scenes were beautiful and there were a lot of wonderful special effects. The plot was the very standard western ("cowboys vs Indians") theme, even down to the natives riding horse-like creatures, wearing war paint, shooting bows & arrows, and shouting war-whoops. Nonetheless, it was a good movie and we enjoyed the experience.
