Spielberg is a great director as he shows again in this unique film. The unlikely story of a boy and colt growing into a horse and man. They fight for each other and those important who surround them. Some scenes will be difficult to watch, but it is all worth it in the end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The 3D technology and the story are excellent. Unfortunately, there are some dialogue flaws, acting deficiencies and inconsistencies which detract from what could have been a much better film.
Unobtainium, come on! Couldn't someone have found a better name? And this was not the only dialogue flaw, but it is the most obvious.
The overall acting performances were so-so at best, not a stellar performance in the cast. While the story sets up front the conditions of the planet, a couple of the scenes seem to ignore the 20 second and four minute rules established early on.
Go see the movie for the effects and overall story, but do not expect to see a great film.
An excellent story of a young man who has nothing and noone. He resists the pressures of the poor and down and out. Quinton Aaron is excellent as a quit young man just tring to exist and stay out of trouble. Not liking what he sees around him he withdraws into his own world of quiet desparation.
Bullock steps up to the roll of wealthy do gooder and gives us a wonderful glimpse of the difference between helping and careing in her transition from patron to mom.
An Osar nomination for both actors performance should not be out of the question.
