The visualizations in this movie were absolutely mind boggling. The 3D version was hit or miss depending on your preferences and where you sit. Sitting too close is not too kind on your eyes with the attempts to adjust focus. Also, the 3D is more for the 'feel like you are there' effect which is only true for half the movie. You really can tell when the 3D effect comes and goes. 3D or not, seating or not, this movie not only provides an experience in great storytelling, but also provides a subtle political undertone. The story and visualizations are so powerful that they really suck you in and makes you emotionally invested. This is most definitely a movie theater must see film.
