And then after I had the same objections as you did about the story, heavy-handed message...but I couldn't articulate that at the end, because all I could think about was how beautiful it was, and how amazing the graphics were, and the story was surprisingly engaging. (I liked the 3D, I thought it added a nice, subtle texture.)Ernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027399109183646256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825925.post-2977870808789937612010-02-04T10:15:28.301-08:002010-02-04T10:15:28.301-08:00Ceri, I agree completely with your review- except ...Ceri, I agree completely with your review- except the 3-D part; I think our theater had lighter glasses or something, but I thought the 3-D was enhancing. I did think there were some plot flaws but that aside, I was impressed with the CG! I really forgot that it was all man-made. It was just a really gorgeous film with emotion. ...And, yes, the previews were really terrible! Just awful!Adriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116888726470196919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825925.post-77923909141291004562010-02-04T08:31:31.335-08:002010-02-04T08:31:31.335-08:00Chelsey, excellent points, and Becca, I'm glad...Chelsey, excellent points, and Becca, I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried.<br /><br />Pete, Carissa, and Strovska, I'd be interested in your reactions if/when you do get around to it!CëRïSëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133935575651973096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825925.post-83974229258357651212010-02-04T08:20:57.608-08:002010-02-04T08:20:57.608-08:00yes, thanks for the review. i think we're goi...yes, thanks for the review. i think we're going to go see it in 3-d, and i'm curious to see if i have the same eye-adjustment problem, having never seen a full-length 3-d before. i was already expecting to have to ignore some tiresome tropes, so forewarned is fore-armed. at least it's not the "Hooker with a Heart of Gold Saves the Troubled Anti-Hero" trope, because i don't think i can take much more of that one.strovskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14041323073133282639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825925.post-70389936564292060502010-02-03T22:34:16.717-08:002010-02-03T22:34:16.717-08:00I agree to a tee my dear!

I've been holding out, too, at first because I thought the previews looked ridiculous and now because everybody and their mom has gone to see it. :) I am curious about it, but I will probably still wait until it comes out on DVD, and pay $1 to see it, just for spite.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615511269376567756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825925.post-20897597610665310932010-02-03T15:36:07.614-08:002010-02-03T15:36:07.614-08:00I saw it in 2-D, which was fine with me.

I guess that was my main attraction to it as well: I liked it for its environmental themes, that we don't need to exploit everyone and everything just for commercial gain, and we don't need to destroy the wonders of the world (that tree!). I also loved the idea of naturally neurologically connecting -- quite literally -- with nature and other creatures, something that we here and now try to recreate via technology.chelfeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708899874620190803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825925.post-61310656178509065852010-02-03T10:34:00.851-08:002010-02-03T10:34:00.851-08:00Thanks for the review.
