It's no Terminator or Aliens, but still amazing

Great movie. Really enjoyed it. The special effects are pretty amazing. Not as life-changinga s Jurassic Park, but the closest movie to that feeling since. The 3d was really well done and not overblown. The storyline was predictable but well thought out. The movie is long but the pace is pretty good. This is miles beyond the typical sci-fi pic I definitely give it that. I especially appreciated Sigourney and the various nods to Aliens throughout the movie it was almost a counterpart to that film in many aspects. Overall go see it you'll enjoy it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ignore the Ignorance, Ponyo is Fantastic.

Another great film from Hayao Miyazaki. Not his best, but it's hard to live up to his other films.The right wing political garbage found in other reviews here is REALLY pathetic. Miyazaki is above IGNORANT people. Ponyo is a delight and comments about it being "scary" are really unfounded - Lion King would be considered far scarier - there is no "true" antagonist in the film (Ponyo's dad is still her dad!). This might be above the heads of anyone under 5. Young Adult/Teen fans of Miyazaki (he has universal appeal) should be warned this is very much 'kiddier' than previous outputs, so be prepared for a very young audience. If you haven't seen a Miyazaki movie or your child hasn't, you really don't know what you're missing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the best movies I have ever seen..really

When I left the theatre, I was speechless, because I was thinking long and hard, "Is this the best movie I've ever seen?" At the very least, this is an absolute must see. I was dismayed at first hearing it was 2.5 hours long, but I could not leave my seat or take my eyes off the screen the entire time.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
