YES, I love that they didn't overdue it.
I forgot it was in 3d after a while because it was so immersive.

Does it have a good plot?
The plot, while being the usual expected thing, was completely new to me. I was actually trying to see if there was a novel counterpart to get the full story. I mean... damn I was shittin bricks all night and even the girly liked it. (She is lame...)
They really need to find a new solution to the glasses though... they hurt my head.
Even though I basically knew the entire plot going into the movie, there were enough nuances and new angles on the archetypal story that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The glasses were a little annoying, but I used to wear glasses before I got contacts, so they didn't bother me that much. And the 3D was so smooth that I never felt like I was getting a headache from it, which I did in other 3D movies.
Just got back home from watching this, it's a good movie but nothing really stood out besides the CG work. The acting was rather mediocre throughout, but it wasn't too terrible. I can't really say it has much rewatchability either, it was a long movie.
Only part of the acting I hates was the girls wailing....
The acting was fine, the only terrible actress was the girl that flew the plane things, "Rebel one" girl.
She was a terrible actress, and her outfit, unlike all the others, looked like it came from a costume bin from in the early 90's.
That's because those are the only clothes that she can afford and own in real life because her terrible acting gets her no where.
It's Michelle Rodriguez. She's a typical Cameron character from the '90s. Haha. I just accepted her as soon as I saw her, because it seemed like a logical thing to see in a James Cameron film. :P
Also, I just took screenwriting, and that movie is a perfect example of story structure, just like Titanic was. I was keeping a mental checklist, every time they showed something- yep, that's paid off, yep, that one too, what haven't we seen again in a while HOLY SHIT THERE IT IS. Lol payoff. Not a bad thing, just interesting, and fun to play with mentally.
