I really had no expectations for this movie. I didn't even know what it was about. I only went because it was a friend's Birthday and this is what he wanted to see. Well, I am so glad I went to see this movie. Visually, it is stunning! And, the story held my interest throughout the entire movie. I had worried about being able to sit through a 2 hour and 40 minute movie, but I never looked at my watch even once the whole time. I plan to go see it again, this time in the IMAX theater, and I cannot wait!
