While at first I was resistant in seeing the movie - mostly I felt it was something on the line of another sci-fi movie genre (which isn't my favorite). What I did hear from friends and media - was this is a movie you have to experience via IMAX 3-D (also after the Golden Globes and SAG Awards - I definitely felt I needed to see the movie for myself and see what all the hype was about) and I AM GLAD I DID! The movie blew me away - not to mention the experience via IMAX. Some may think a 2 hour and 40 minute movie is a bit much - but I can honestly say - it didn't seem that long. I plan to see this movie again!!!!
