Emotionally Scarring

Rating: 4/10 (19 February 2009)

While the storyline is interesting enough to follow and the characters are colorful, this movie failed in a few ways for my kids and me.
First, some of the scariness was a little over the top. My seven-year-old left the theater in tears and didn't want to sleep by himself. Because of the depth of the action sequences and the rich textures in the animation, it's too much for some younger viewers to handle.
Second, what in the world is up with the big-breasted naked woman??? That was traumatic, even to me! I can't believe this got a PG rating, knowing that young children were going to be drawn to it. I'm no prude, but that was not something I wanted to expose a seven-year-old and a 13-year-old boy to. Especially in 3D.
Third, the mechanics of the plot were never really revealed. Why buttons? I left the movie with more questions than I had going into it.
Overall, this was just not a good movie-going experience and I wish I hadn't wasted the money on it. Apparently other people really enjoyed it, so this is just my opinion and you can make up your own mind whether you watch it or not.
