This movie had been sold out every time I went to see it since it opened. So, I purchased advance tickets online. Even with doing this, the only open seats were the very front row (hate the front row). Nonetheless this movie completely blew me away. It was a very long movie, but I was so stunned by the 3D experience that the time flew past and I was wanting the movie to keep going. I typically get very disappointed with movies that get such rave reviews, but not this time. I would rank this film the best overall movie experience EVER. Seriously people, go see it in 3D on the big screen. You most certainly WIL NOT regret it.
