UP (3D Version) Review

Disney Pixar's movie "Up" is an instant classic. We saw the movie in 3D, and even though we got stuck on the front row of the theater, we had a great time. "Up" is a bit different from other Pixar movies. It has some sad moments, and is very sentimental. It doesn't often go for the big, obvious laughs (although laugh you will!), instead offering a touching story that has the adult character learning some important lessons from a child.

A smooth storyline takes you on a journey of a mans life with his wife, giving viewers a glimpse of special moments they had together. Without taking up too much time, this allowed you to experience the closeness of the relationship. Without giving anything away, I am not afraid to admit I teared up a few times in this movie!

The 3D effects were amazing, and you could really see the dimensions of the animation. However, I do not think that the viewer at home or in a non-3D theater is missing out on too much. While the effects were nice and noticeable, this movie had none of the big "AH!" moments that 3D movies are known for. Nothing aimed at the screen, nothing that feels like it's going to fly through the theater at you at any moment. Just a sweet, beautiful story told in a touching, amusing way that kept both the adults and kids in our party enthralled.

Loved it!
