Review
Just finished watching the Midnight Premiere. Did not disappoint one bit. The Acting is incredibly believable and the ending ties it all together. The story sorta drags in the beginning but Ang Lee did a good job keeping my attention to the film. The Animation is incredibly realistic. I couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what wasn't. Not one moment did I doze off. Definitely worth 127 minutes of your life. Ang Lee you did an outstanding job. To the Cast you all did excellent. I am very satisfied! Although there were a lot of pros there were some cons. At one point the Format of the Film switched from 169 to 43 but that might have been the projector at the Cinemark I attended. I also noticed some of the animations of animals started to go off screen and you could see the animated objects in the black area of the Wide Screen part (I'm assuming that was for the 3D but I watched it in 2D so it looked sketchy). But it's minor. An average viewer won't even notice it I'm an aspiring filmmaker and I notice the little things!! I enjoyed the film and you will too. 910. Worth it.
