This is not my favorite movie of all the ones so far but I was rivited to my seat and would see it again. It did stray from the book a bit. I wish they split this book into two movies as well so they could have included more details. Overall entertaining and well done. The theater was even laughing at the teen drama.
My 9 year old son was mesmerized by the battles, blasts, and ships. My 11 year old daughter was bored. The story does move along and once you buy into that it is not going to be like the other 6 movies it is entertaining. If my son was not asking to go I could have waited for the rental.
