I went to this movie not really knowing what to expect but excited that it was in 3D. WOW! It far exceeded my expectations. The effects are truly spectacular and watching in 3D makes it even better--it's like being there! I enjoyed the story as well and really came to care for the characters in the movie. I would highly recommend this to others. Be sure to see it in the theater, in an IMAX if you can. Some scenes were a bit intense for kids, but if your children have seen Star Wars and were okay with it, they should be fine with this movie. Loved it!!
