Excellent!

Given that Dawn Treader is my favorite story of the series, it comes as no surprise that this has also become my favorite of the new Narnia movies.
The conversion from book to screenplay was well handled and the end result stays true to the spirit and intent of Lewis' work.
My only nitpick was that the 3D experience seemed to reveal minor rendering glitches, where certain details just looked a bit off. This usually had to do with slow shots involving large depth of perspective where fine background details seemed to pop out of perspective where they weren't intended to.
Regardless, I would certainly recommend this movie and especially to Narnia fans.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Original sci-fi worth watching

In all fairness, it's difficult to write a truly original plot without having the feeling of "been-there, done-that", but Inception comes very close.
Personally, I felt like the whole experiencing dreams concept could have been taken farther as it was relatively easy to follow and the dream sequences still felt a bit too "real". There are a number of similarities and noted differences to The Matrix, but nothing deep and profound.
The effects were quite good, though they would certainly have benefited if the IMAX presentation was in 3D. Granted, the bar had been set very high with the release of Avatar while this film was still in production, so some slack is due. There are still enough unanswered questions at the end to provide fodder for a good sequel.
Certainly worth watching, though it's a bit of a toss-up as to whether the IMAX experience is worth the extra money versus a regular digital presentation.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

"Step aside kids, I've been waiting 11 years..."

Toy Story 3 was great. Go see it, especially if you have seen the first two.
However, one thing to note is that this movie is really targeted to those who saw the previous chapters when they were in theaters. In other words, despite the G rating, this movie is not exactly aimed at kids. Grownup-oriented themes on the scale of contemplating the meaning of existence, self-worth, and the end of life run through the main storyline more so than in the previous installments. Some pivotal scenes press these points intensely which may be unsettling for some... especially when viewed in glorious 3D digital imagery!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
