My kids & I have become 3D movie junkies. This is different from when I was younger. Now you wear sunglasses that turn the screen into the 3D world. No longer do you have to fight with cardboard glasses and colored film lenses.
To date we've seen Up! (Me: great story/message for all ages. Kids: Too slow)
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Me: yawn. Too many intestinal odor-related jokes. Kids: 4-yo took off glasses and buried his face in my shoulder. 7-yo loved the jokes I didn't like).
We eagerly awaited G-Force. Jerry Bruckheimer is a great director and I loved his suspenseful, clever films. The kids told me they loved the fast-pace. My husband thought it was finally a "real 3D movie," that things actually appeared to fly off the screen toward you.The animation was good.
I was bored. I thought it would be funnier & the plot dragged.
The down-side to 3D movies are the ridiculous charges - $8 for a matinee! And that's without popcorn. But there is a bin for recycling your glasses (which you still have to pay for new pair every time you attend). Maybe next time we'll just hold onto the glasses & see if we can opt out of the charge.
Now I'm looking forward to "X-Games 3D the Movie"(limited release on Aug. 21). The kids want to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."
