It's so audacious and so technically accomplished, and arrives here garlanded with so many radiant superlatives, that I wish I liked it more. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
The story is a compelling and deeply involving one, and the film is both beautiful, exciting, and sometimes horrifying. The creature effects are superbly handled. Go to Full Review

Arturo 2 hrs ago Seeing this movie on the big screen was amazing the 3d make the film even more spectacular See more Ricardo L 2 hrs ago The cinematography, musical score, and costumes were amazing and haunting See more Kevin 3 hrs ago Still great. 3D wasn’t necessary out an improvement. See more Gregg P 4 hrs ago Great movie that now looks better than ever in 4K. 3D could have been better though. It was only used well in a few scenes with a lot of depth. Otherwise I hardly noticed any 3D at all. Wish it was showing near me in Dolby Cinema or 4DX.
