The 3D tech is awesome, the movie not so much

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2010)

To start things of - the 3D technology used in this film is mind blowing, fantastic, extraordinary etc etc. I was very surprised by just how well the 3D worked, and a lot of the scenes in the movie are shot to make the most out of the 3D effects. That said, the movie in it self is nothing special - understand me right, it is not an awful movie, its just not that good either and it is obviously a show off movie for the 3D format. The plot has been done before in a number of different scenarios, the characters were all just typical Hollywood archetypes, and the acting was not really inspiring. Further, the special effects and the "gadgets" used was nothing to write home about. I was however entertained throughout the movie, but a lot of that has to do with the 3D, and not the movie in it self. If the movie had been an ordinary 2D movie, then the 2h30 m would have been (far) too long, but in 3D it's just the right length.
When there are 30 or more pictures out in the 3D format, this picture will stand out only as being the first. But a welcomed first - what a format, the 3D is.
