Commonly referred to as a "Pixar Movie".

We're going with my brother (another big Disney/Pixar fan) and his kids. Love the review blurbs on metacritic.

We plan on seeing both at some point.

Drag me UP to Hell??



I'm planning to see it in all it's glorious 3D Pixarness this weekend.

I may see Drag Me as well!

People are saying it's amazing. 98% on RT.

Pixar comes through again. Hoping to see it soon.

I hemmed and hawed about 3-D vs. 2-D, but the $4 extra for 3-D decided for me.

On the one hand, I'd like to see it once in 3-D, since it won't be that way on subsequent home viewings ... but I don't want to be swayed by the oooo-ahhh factor my first time. It's either a great movie or it isn't. If it is, 3-D shouldn't matter.


Seeing it tonite. Excited.

I will be seeing it (3D) in a couple of hours.

I thought about just waiting til July so I could see it at the El Capitan but I can't wait THAT long.

And by then they'll have moved on to the latest Myleycyrusjonasbrothersin3D thing anyhow.

Will you look for the smallest screen you can see it on, since if it's a good movie, size of the screen shouldn't matter? What about the theater with the lowest-quality sound system possible, because really, if it's a good movie, THX shouldn't matter.

[innerSpaceman]

Well, TVs with larger screens and better sound systems than many theaters are common in many U.S. households. (Alas not mine). So that's not an apt comparison. And I don't agree with your presumption that 3-D is an exhibition improvement like good sound.


Frankly, it takes me out of the movie a little bit to wear those glasses. I'm very conscious of them. Also, while I enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D very much, I don't consider it better than the "regular" version. It seemed like a gimmick.


And ya know what else, $15.50 a ticket for the pleasure seemed a little steep.


And you're right about one thing, size of the screen won't really matter. If UP is as good as other Pixar movies, I'll be seeing 99% of my viewings on my TV screen, and will still like it.


I'm not looking for the smallest screen to watch it on tonight, but neither did it concern me that the 2-D version will likely be showing on a smaller screen than the 3-D.

If a 3D movie is done right, it will make it look more real, not gimicky. It should not have hatches leaving the screen right to your head or dinasaur spit flinging in your face. That said, it needs to be clean and not cause any discomfort. The glasses from Disney are comfortable and I forget I'm wearing them.

If the movie was made to be seen in 3D, you are not seeing it the way the film maker intended if you don't see it in 3D. Therefore you are not doing it or them justice.
