Coraline


This movie has gotten a lot of attention and it deserves it. I am a little leary of ruining this for anyone by overhyping it, but you can always stop right now if you don't want to be a victim of overhyption...overhyperation...hyperventilation? You know what I mean.

Here is the really important part: SEE THIS MOVIE IN 3D.

I thought this might just be a marketing gimmick to get people to see the movie in the theater. A good gimmick too, for a movie without action scenes and panoramic special effects, but really, wear those little paper green and red glasses like you just left the opthamologist's office? Well, it was a surprise to receive, for only an extra three dollars, some sturdy and stylish 3D glasses that you can wear again and again.

And it was a real thrill when the screen instructed the audience to don the glasses. They have some nifty little special effects to give you a taste of what 3D is all about, and then the movie starts. Well, all I can say is that it is a whole lot of fun for something that is 100% legal, and it has a plot too. Stay all the way to the end of the credits for the visual finale.
