Still the BEST 3D movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2008)

This movie was SO good in the IMAX 3D format - far better than the standard 2D version - that it will cause you to think that it must have been made first in IMAX 3D and THEN converted to the "standard" format (not so)!
I have seen this movie in both formats; it is the IMAX 3D version that gets so many accolades and is the version that so many people love SO much. The unique animation style is indeed very interesting to watch, but it is the IMAX 3D conversion that enables the viewer to truly relate to the characters and EXPERIENCE the movie rather than just passively "watch" it. The 2D version comes off as typical holiday "fluff," while the IMAX 3D version is a genuine "tear- jerker" that will amaze both kids and adults, no matter what your age or religious affiliation may be.
If it ever comes around again in the IMAX 3D format and you haven't yet seen it be SURE to go, whether you've already seen the 2D version or not. You won't regret it - nor the somewhat increased ticket price that you may have to pay - and you will leave the theater understanding how it revolutionized the theatrical movie presentation industry by demonstrating exactly HOW good 3D - especially IMAX 3D - can now be. And you will NEVER forget it.
