did anyone get around to going and seeing this? I didn't due to 4 inchs of snow up at Keystone.

Everyone I've heard from who's seen this has said it's fantastic. I plan on seeing it as soon as I can.

Sadly, I won't be able to see it until I find a showing that isn't 3D.
>> My eyes are still too jacked up to do that. Erg.


>>;;; I actually didn't mind the Stardust movie....but it DID pale in comparison to the book...


Ugh. I wanted to beat someone after the first 5 minutes of that movie....and that urge quickly grew throughout the movie. ><;;
Its like someone just read the back of the book and decided to make up the rest.

The 3D isn't really distracting like most movies, unless your troubles are with the glasses not the actual 3D part. But it's really subtle, just enough to give the movie depth which is really awesome.

Yeah...I agree it was fairly off from the book, I guess I'm just the type to look past that kind of stuff to see what they can make. Without comparing it to the book in any fashion though, it was pretty good in my opinion :)

I have an eye condition (akin to a lazy eye) that refuses to let me do the 3D thing. I had surgery to fix it a few years back, when I was around 19 or 20. It was so bad then I was unable to drive. :/ Constant double vision, awful headaches, concave lenses on my glasses. So much fun. Even after they cut into my eye muscles to fix it, I still have problems sometimes, especially when I get tired or read too much. :/

I sat through the first 5 minutes of the 3D version and it was way too fuzzy for me without the glasses. With the glasses, I wouldn't be able to even focus. It'd be a constant double image. :<

I'm making it my mission to see it this weekend! Errg!

ifria: roger's got a similar problem. he's got a weak muscle in one of his eyes, so he doesn't have true stereoscopic vision.

we're gonna hopefully see the movie this weekend. someone earlier mentioned that the chinese theatre on parker & arapahoe has it non-3D.

I watched it last weekend. I thought it was delightfully creepy but cute at the same time. Neil Gaiman never disappoints. :3
