This is one of the best movies we have seen! The scenery was fantastic. The interplay between humans and the computer graphic aliens and their world was superbly done! This is a must see! I recommend seeing it a few times, as there is so much to see, it is possible to miss some of the details on only one viewing.
We liked this movie ... we already have tickets for the IMAX 3D release! One comment ... we are really looking forward to the book 7 movies (glad they;re making 2 movies for book 7!) ... the books are so involved, that some of the details are lost by attempting to adapt the movie to fit within a 2-2.5 hour-time slot. Warner Bros. should produce extended versions (like LOTR). I have seen longer versions on TV, with the deleted scenes inserted in the proper place that are included in a 2nd separate special edition DVD set, which also included interviews with the starts, and behind the scenes information.
This movie kept you on the edge of your seat thorughout ... until the end. Surprising twists kept coming! My teenage daughter also really liked the movie.
Many reviews indicated that the movies is only worth seeing (with the price of gas, tickets, etc.) in 3D ... we agreed, since the plot/story was rather lame. What made the movie was the 3D. Without these special effects, we would have preferred to wait to see it in 2D as a rental.
