Xavier’s Rating 4 1/2 STARS OUT OF 5
This Movie is definitely worth the price of admission. In fact, I went back for seconds. The imagery achieved by the new technology was phenominal, and has raised the bar for all future 3 D films. If you’ve seen other 3-D movies like "Journey To The Center of The Earth", you will really appreciate how this new computer aided imagery puts you in the center of the action and has a much more realistic feel to it. This new technology is a real feast for your visual and auditory senses.
The only place where I felt that the movie fell short was in the storyline. The good vs. evil plot was a little too simplistic for the 2 hours and 42 minutes of spectacular visual effects. It could have benefitted from 45 minutes worth of snipping on the editing room floor. I still say, “ Spend the money for the ticket, you won’t regret it”.
