The holy grail of 3D is not so much.

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2009)

Don't get me wrong, this movie is groundbreaking in many ways. I went to see this at an Imax theater that was sold out for the premiere showing and was duly impressed. The production values are through the roof. I didn't want to flip a magic switch by the first 15 minutes and watch it as a regular movie like I have at every other 3D showing I have been to. That being said, I just didn't see what all fuss was about. You get used to it and it then becomes another pretty movie. I have no trouble watching a movie for the cinematography, alone, but to be a great story you must have something else. The acting, and therefore the directing, what there was of it, was O.K. The story was preachy and in-your-face and I have seen this before. Try "Dances With Wolves" in space.
Let's give it an "E" for effort.
