Oh. My. Gosh.

Robert took me to see it in the IMAX, and seriously I think it's the best movie I have EVER seen. EVER. That was some amazing storytelling. I cried like five times.

If you haven't seen it yet, it is definitely worth the money.

Yeah, but a bigger train wreck than that. Seriously, I couldn't see how anybody could ever make it out alive.

Plus, it was chock full of Chekhov's guns. I love those things. There wasn't one little element dropped in that didn't come back later. Win.

I was skeptical at first. My boyfriend made me watch all of the trailers and any extras he could find online. It looked okay.

Then I saw it. OMG. I absolutely LOVED it!!! I was worried about falling asleep, we saw it at midnight friday, but there was no way I could. Even being a long movie it is awesome.

I never go see movies twice, but I'm going to go see this one again in IMAX.

I loved it too! I didn't notice it was a long movie until we were walking out; kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was rather heartbreaking though. I'de love to see it at the IMAX!

My brother says it's like Fern Gully Redux, which is still awesome. I just might have to go see it...I was skeptical, especially after they made it the 2nd plot to an episode of "Bones" recently.

I agree, one of the best movies I've ever seen. I rarely get caught up in movies, but I FELT this one. I'm definately going to go see it at the IMAX.

I felt it was way overhyped; Because of all the hype my expectations were very high, but I didn't think they were fulfilled.

1. It did not need to be that long.
2. The plot was something that is done all the time, I didn't see anything new.
3. There were extremely clear agendas in the movie. I don't like it when the themes in the movie are thrust in my face so blatantly, I like a little subtlety.

I did really enjoy the visual effects and the acting, I thought they were both superb. Also, I didn't see the 3-d version since 3-d always gives me a headache, but maybe I would've been more impressed with that version.

I know what you mean about the plot being redone by other movies. But not once did I think "Oh great, another one of THOSE movies". And it didnt seem long at all, I cant get through some 1 hour 20 min movie, but this movie flowed nicely (and they didnt take forever to get into the actual story. I HATE when they build up for like the first hour and a half and then the last 20mins has all the "action").

I loved it :) I read somewhere it was a mix of Fern Gully Dances with Wolves and Pocahontas and I have to agree. I did see it in 3D even though I really don't like 3D movies (The glasses usually ruin the colors for me) But the theater had really awesome glasses and it just put me right in the scenery without any obnoxious things popping out to spook the audience.

I hope I get to see it again :)

Just got back. Loved it.

Agree with what KenyiGirl said, but still worth the money. And I'm glad it was that long, I didn't want it to end.
