I've just seen it in 3D... I would have chosen 2D, but they only showed it 
in 3D...
At the beginning, they showed an introduction explaining 3D-cinema, telling 
us that technology has advanced to the point where they can give us 
3D-cinema without any loss in image quality, yet during the movie I was 
wondering why, if they really have that kind of technology, they didn't use 
it... this *certainly* was not the same image quality as a normal movie: 
brightness and contrast didn't even come close to that :(

All lies, I tell ya!

As for the movie itself: stunning visual effects, extremely predictable 
'story', lousy acting.

cu!
