    In truth, none of the reviews that I read inspired me to see this movie. The basic description sounded boring. But the movie trailers offered some inspiring video, so my wife and I went to see this movie and we loved it. Highly recommended!

    Interesting but not as good as promised. C+ is all. Sometimes the special effects really were off. The life boat appeared to change scale. Things like that gave the film a cheap appearence and dimished the believe ability.

    As a person who doesn't enjoy 3D, I have to say that this is the only film that I wud want to watch on a Big Screen, in 3D, everytime.The film itself probaly deserves a B+, but the experience as a whole makes it an enjoyable A.

    This is a big screen movie. no home theater will do it justice. Stunning images, heart-breaking experiences, brilliant and beautiful quest for the soul. The warrior spirit arises.

    I bought the Blu-Ray DVD. I expected more from this movie. Perhaps I should have seen it in 3D. I thought the CGI was marginal at best, especially after seeing Avatar.

    Wondrous visuals, fresh new story, but somehow I was expecting more meaning at the end.
