All movies are predictable in basic format, Evil is bad and good prevails. But to see a movie and actually feel you are looking into a window to another world and not a flat white screen makes this a must see! The typical "reach out and grab you" effects are replaced with depth and a feeling that you are looking into the screen. A few effects are designed to pop out at you but the focus is to draw you into the world, not force the world out to you. Go see it. two hours and forty minutes went by like minutes and for the first time since "Star wars" I plan on going to see a movie several times.
