This movie is not only visually stunning but it has an excellent story as well. I highly recommend the IMAX experience when watching this movie, but I saw it in 2D also and that was fine. 3D has come a long way since I first saw a 3D film...it is quite an experience. Anyone with sensitive ears might want to take along some hearing protection as the surround sound becomes a bit much at times. Movies will never be the same again!!
