Okay, I've been looking forward to seeing this movie ever since I saw the first teaser trailer for it last year. Growing up in the '80s I remember and loved the first one so the idea of them remaking it using modern technology kind of thrilled me. Now I know there are going to be comparison's between the two versions but I think that would be a mistake. I think they both can stand on their own merits. The earlier one built on, at the time, state of the art stop motion animation... to later one on CG. Without going into much detail, and spoiling anything.. they changed enough of the story line to make a unique movie, while keeping all of the key components from the original. Look for the bubo's cameo. The acting wasn't bad... Sam Worthington once again does a credible job in role that he was given. I would like to see him go further... I think he could possibly become a great leading man/action star. I went to see this movie in 2D... I know, I know.. but there was a valid reason. This movie was originally filmed in 2D and was never intended to be 3D. It was only converted to 3D later on with the success of Avatar. I was just afraid that beings it wasn't intended then I can imagine the 3D might be less than stellar. I haven't seen it yet though.. so I will leave that opinion for later. That being said.. this is definitely a great movie.. that does justice to its origins. Definitely worth seeing in the theaters.. (The Kraken will blow you away) 3D though... not sure its necessary to pay the extra money. (5.0/6.0)
