It was just too much...but to be fair I saw it in 3D. The none 3D version may have actually been better, but honestly I have no way of knowing. At first it was, well, it was wow. I had never actually seen anything in 3D, being far too young for for the first round of popular 3D movies to hit the theater, but my father assured me it was nothing compared to this... He also assured me it didn't make him as nauseous, and sometimes I can see where he's coming from on that point. It came out right in the first wave of the new 3D, right when 3D was becoming popular again and actually worth it. And it was jaw dropping even if some of the motion made my old man sick. But it was also too much. A new technology and one that was a spectacular in itself, but not exactly tested to perfection. It seemed like a 14 year-old girl putting on make-up and not yet understanding that less is more. Less than half an hour into it, I had no idea what was going on, the 3D was too distracting to even attempt to follow the plot. About an hour into it, the 3D got boring, and yes, still over-the-top distracting. By the time I left I had the feeling that I had just experienced something that I had never experienced before. I had the feeling that watching a movie on the big screen would never be the same again...but I still couldn't figure out if I saw a movie or not.
