A True Paradigm Shift in Cinema

Truly a groundgreaking film in terms of effects and usage of 3D. Don't wait for the dvd - I doubt the technology exists to experience the same effect on a home tv. Definitely a guy flick: lots of explosions, war and macho stuff, but still quite engaging for this chick flick junkie. The visual detail is beyond fantastic, biologically plausible, and much of it is so subtle that you really do suspend disbelief. Virtual reality feel of flying on the back of a pterodactyl is worth seeing the film multiple times. Thank you James Cameron.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My 14-year old daughter and I are avid fans of the books. She loved it; I enjoyed it but thought some of the effects were truly awful given what is possible today. E.g., I laughed out loud at the fast-motion running. The vampires wore cheezy opaque contact lense that were distracting and particularly disappointing right after the outstanding CG eye-effects in the preview for "Push." Also, I thought that the screenplay gave far too little attention to developing Edward and Bella's friendship to make the romance seem believable despite great acting. Billy Burke's Charlie was dead-on perfect and provided some excellent laughs as he tried to cope with his teenage daughter. I hope the sequel has a stronger screenplay and better effects.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
