By all means if you can, watch this in 3D. The creatures, colors and imaginative details were riveting. I look forward to seeing this again and would definitely buy this movie when it comes on sale. I loved every minute from start to finish, truly full of refreshing twists and turns that keep the story from becoming what could have been a predictable ho hum kind of movie. As the story unfolds you will likely find yourself thinking "Ah ha", as the storyline from the original production is filled in with the elements and situations this version's characters and story reveal. What could have been a fluff piece with a thin skin (if the acting could not support the plot) instead becomes a truly satisfying first course. You believe the characters and the intentions, (good and evil) they embody. Totally WOW!!
