My gf and I caught this in theaters... had decent 3D, but the overall presentation started to feel a pinch monotonous after a while. Taking a thrilling live show and converting into a film format causes it to lose some of its magic. Wasn't bad, just doesn't work as well in film as it would live. But that's just me.
Man my wallet gonna hurt during march espically the first two weeks of march. I may get the 3d version but not paying 38 bucks on amazon thats an outrage. hopefully during the next upgrade and save at best buy
No more Best Buy for us, I live on Vancouver Island British Columbia and they closed 3 Best Buys, everything went to Futureshop, but apparently there closing some of them as well. Walmart or Futureshop in the near future for my movie addiction. cheers
