    If you're going to spring for DBox, this might be the movie for it. But I wish I watched this on iMax. This is one of those movies you have to see on the big screen.

      Just watched it at the imax 3D. The acting could have been better but overall I liked it. As someone already mentioned, the cgi is excellent. Even though you your brain knows it's fake, the cgi isn't super over done like the transformer movies. In a nutshell, it's worth seeing if you like action. And it's definitely worth watching on an imax screen.

          Just got an invite from a friend to see this tonight. I'm stoked!

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              Teenagers. Both of my sons are heading out the door to go see this movie with all the YM and YW in the ward. (No, it's not an official church activity, but these kids like to hang out on Sat. nights and do something as friends.)

                Went to PR today with my son. Kept falling asleep but the noise would wake me back up. Just not my kind of movie I guess.

                      Looks like maybe an Ender's Game ripoff? No?

                        Seemed to me like it was the bastard child of Godzilla and Transformers.

                          Hmm... might be a good movie at 3am in morning when I can't sleep and there's nothing else to watch. Thanks.

                            It's very similar to any number of mech based anime series. Neon Genesis Evangelion being one that PR shares a number of similarities with, only PR had a much weaker story.

                                I would say it was the legitimate child. I usually can't stand this kind of movie, and didn't make it through the first Transformers movie, but Guillermo del Toro's creation won me over. I sat in the DBox seats w 3D glasses with my popcorn and soda and pretty much just enjoyed myself, despite there being no crucial cinematic missive for my soul to read.
