[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 5857799, member: 7808"] I saw it last weekend. It was fun and entertaining, but not great. At it's heart, it is a standard Victorian era sci-fi story. It's loaded with all the standard tropes of the time. Some people will love that, some people will hate it. Overall, it was a decent action movie that will probably end up in my DVD collection, but it's far from a sci-fi classic. The two biggest faults for me: The music and sound. Did anyone who saw the movie hum one of the themes as they left the theatre? No, because the music was entirely forgettable. Not bad, mind you. It wasn't jarring and did a passable job. But it was completely unremarkable in every way. And the sound effects were like a checklist of standard stock sounds, thrown in with crappy editing. The 3D. One of the biggest problems with modern 3D is that it makes motion look a little blurry. And so much of this movie was in high speed motion that the 3D took much more away than it added. Especially the scenes with the Thern technology, which was very intricate, lost a lot. Combine the bad sound with bad 3D and you have absolutely no reason to see this movie in IMAX. I did, and I regret the decision. And that's coming from someone who's a sucker for 3D. [/QUOTE]
