Comparative Reality

Short version: Meh.

Long version: $50 for four tickets, for 3-bloody-D, which for me means muted colors, motion blur, and annoying background blurriness in most scenes. Maybe I'm just being cranky, but 3D just doesn't add all that much: It's kinda nifty, but the cons outweigh the pros by a fair margin.

The movie itself was too long, and the story just wasn't very compelling. It was much, much too slow for the first hour, then went into Action Movie Mode (with More! Louder! Action! Scenes!), then collapsed into soppy mush. So...the beginning was slow, the end was dull, but the middle part was decent. But not as good as the first two movies.

So not terrible, just disappointing. The kids (mostly) liked it, though. But I think that the 3D stuff was more interesting for them (and didn't give them a headache).

It also started badly, with a dull yet preachy opening cartoon. Save your $50 and rent the movie (FIFTY DOLLARS!).
