Time ran out for us!

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were in top form and their new guitarist (Josh) was amazing! However, going to see this as a "Live" Fathom Event was quite disappointing. The AMC theater we went to see it at, must have only paid for 1hr and 45mins of satellite feed (this is an uneducated assumption), because the movie ended ABRUPTLY! It had a "run time" of 2hrs. 15mins! Anthony Kiedis in mid sentence suddenly went to a blank screen BEFORE the concert was over! No goodbyes, no last song, and no end credits to let you know to that it was actually over. The management of the West Orange, NJ theater was NO help whatsoever! Would not go back! Sorry to the Chili Peppers whom we love anyway!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I am a graphic designer and illustrator so I usually go to see these movies with my son and enjoy them for the beautiful renderings in 3D and the stories are usually written to entertain both adults and children, so usually my 11 year old son and I have something to talk about afterward. This time, however, he was unusually quiet and when asked if he liked the movie he said the appropriate "It was cool". We went home and all he could say is that he wanted to buy this movie on DVD, still unusually, quiet about the film. It turns out that the movie had touched him in an emotional way and he was trying to figure out why and what he was feeling... long story-short:
We talked and it was clear that he related to the main character so much that he "needed" to see it again and so we did! Two shows in one afternoon. He appreciated it and I realized that this movie told a great story about being on outsider in your own circles and when you're considered "different:" how that can affect you as a young person trying to come into his own.
AMAZING movie great action and humor, cute dragons and a great story of a "different' kid who becomes a hero! What else do you need... and (very characteristically) it became our conversation for the rest of the night.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
