This was an very unexpected surprise.. I took my 7 year old grandson and he enjoyed it.. After recently viewing Shrek (the third movie) on TV I was almost afraid it wouldn't be all that good.. But it was much closer too the quality of the original Shrek movie.. The story line was excellent and it had plenty of action.. The evil villain along with most of the characters were almost believable.. The 3D effects were very good and the Imax was the big bonus.. I recommend it for both young and old.. I highly recommend the Imax version..
I took my whole family of 5 to see it, including my grandson.. They all really enjoyed it.. Our ages ranged from two about 56 to my three kids in their mid 20’s and then even one lone grandson at age 6.. It was a thoroughly enjoyable fun family movie.. I recommend it for both young and old.. But do take a kid so you won't look too silly.. The 3d along with the bonus of the Imax screen made it the very best 3D movie I’ve seen yet.. And I’ve been to many.. It really almost brought you right into the movie.. The flight scenes are very good.. The script was excellently written.. Very unpredictable unlike the last biggie “Avatar..” It had some really good humor as well.. I chuckled and even smiled several times during the movie.. If you have young kids it's definite a must see.. My grandson at 6 was on the very edge of his seat during the whole movie.. I just had to watch him.. It was totally cute.. And one extra nice bonus, you'll leave the theater feeling really good and even slightly uplifted.. It was very expensive to take a family of six to this movie.. However the money was very well spent and I’m still very glad I did..
