Avoid - it's pretty terrible

Rating: 2/10 (27 June 2009)

Went to see this in an early showing in 3D today. Took my 5 year old son. I think I might have laughed the once... but I can't remember what at.
I don't remember hearing my son laugh at all.
I saw Coraline a month or so back and was really impressed by the 3D - 3D was the main draw for me in this film. In Ice Age 3 it just didn't have any impact at all. Often the window of the shot cut off important images at the edges which destroyed the 3D effect.
The new character voiced by Pegg is just plain awful. The jokes are just so obvious they could have been written by a 5 year old.
Some of the faster paced visuals are okay. The one consistently funny character from the other films (Scrat) is also okay - but a very tired character at that.
If your kids are not too easily scared then go and see Coraline, or if they do scare easily then see Monsters vs Aliens. Both are a million miles better than this stinker of a film.
