This is a great movie that all will enjoy. It's a battle of good vs evil, a story that helps us to take a moment to really try to understand things that we thought we understood. It's a battle of personal triumph with action and adventure and lots of subtle humor.
The technical quality is outstanding...no wonder this is now the winner of "most expensive movie ever made." It's totally enjoyable and easy to slip into belief that what you're seeing, while so fantastic, is possible somewhere in this universe.
My kids, ages 10-19 all enjoyed the movie and all for different reasons, which I always think is the sign of a great film.
I liked this movie. In some ways its allusions to other IJ films were "completing." It had the requisite bugs and fights and danger, but less adventure and danger than others. Less REALLY thrilling points and it lacked some the Jones whip action that was always fun to watch. Overall it was worth seeing again...at the matinee price.
