Review
So I just got back from a screening and I thought the movie was OK. Overall it was just the regular adventuremovie. The actors weren't bad but I had seen better performances of them. The story is kind of a standard one. A guy with no close relatives has to watch over a boy and goes on an adventure with him. I'm not gonna spoil the ending but I'm probably not gonna be able to... Now I do have to say that I wasn't bored during the movie it was acted out well enough and it had its thrilling moments. But those things wouldn't be enough to recommend it for though. My main concern was that some scenes were just too obviously made to make the movie adventurous. (like a 'rollercoasterride' in a mine). The only thing I would recommend it for would be the RealD. It's a huge difference with the regular (IMAX)3D. The image is crystal clear and it all looks very realistic and it seemed like some shots were especially made for the 3Deffect (which really made me jump sometimes). So if you're interested in new techniques go see it in 3D it's an interesting experience. The movie itself is just not really worth your money. It's a regular adventuremovie with good SFX but nothing original or special in it.
