The critics haven't had too many good things to say, but my children and I loved it. 2 1/2 hrs flew by and left us wanting more. Loved, loved, loved it. Probably wouldn't see it in IMAX again-WAY TOO LOUD- hurt my ears and my sons-actually used earplugs the whole time and still heard everything crystal clear. When it got really loud, it made my chest hurt. The picture was fantastic but we all agreed the audio was too loud. The regular theater is my recomendation-GREAT MOVIE.
