Saw Smaug in IMAX 3D today (no spoilers) [View all]

[Omaha Steve]

Hosts please note this is not showbiz glitz. This is film as an art form post.

A 12:30 showing (following a 9 AM show) was a little over half full. Marta and I will be seeing it again in the next week or so as time allows at this busy time of year. It was that good. But then we loved LOTR big time too. Our seeing the films on the first day of release continues.

A lot to take in. We do recommend IMAX in 3D. Typical Jackson action. The exception that "King Kong" was at least 1/2 hour longer than it should have been in the middle.

It is a faster pace than "An Unexpected Journey" where we met most of the new characters.

Go see it and have a great time. Anybody else been there yet?
