Good 3D experience...... but wait for the DVD

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2009)

I just saw this film with my sons. They walked out thinking it was a great movie, but on the ride home soon began to pick it apart.
I felt that the 3D animation was wonderful (actually the 3D was the most rewarding part of the movie), but the movie lacked plot development, as well as character development. My boys just kept asking each other questions about why this or that had happened and what they thought had led to something in the movie happening.
Most of the movie plot is dull, the action sequences really didn't engage anyone in my family. And nobody seemed to care that the insect monster had "died". I would blame most of the dullness on the lack of plot and character development.
I did enjoy the movie to a point (mostly the hidden adult humor), but I found myself wondering when this 1:34 hour movie would be over. And now that I sit here typing, my boys are no longer even talking about the movie, hence even they have lost interest less than an hour after seeing the movie, they are actually more excited about the previews than the movie.
