I think I was about the last person on earth to see this movie.  I really wanted to see it in the theater in 3-D, but the day I intended to see it was the day that Alice in Wonderland came out and dominated the 3-D screens.  Boo!  Anyway, even in 2-D in my living room this movie is visually amazing.  The imagination and special effects involved are beyond belief.  Even the story was better than I had imagined.  My only quibble (other than the long running time) is that I had hoped for a different sort of ending.  I’m not sure what that would be, but I just wasn’t completely satisfied.  Still, this movie is revolutionary and well worth watching in 2-D or 3-D.

Grade: A-
