I am a self proclaimed cynic, and after all of the nauseating hype put into this film, I was not a believer and felt it would do well at the box office due to the guerrilla marketing, but be a critical disappointment! How wrong was I??? I decided to go see this movie because some of my cynic-minded friends loved it, so I had to give it a shot. I was blown away!!! Not only by the special effects and 3D imagery, but by the storyline as well. I am not a fan of CGI integrated with real life humans because I feel you can notice the difference (ie. Jar Jar Binx in Star Wars) but this was so realistic. I was absolutely amazed in the quality! This is a must see film, numerous times, and is highly recommended in IMAX 3D!!!
