Was excited and looking forward for the movie but it wasn't really that exciting actually. The 3D glasses were too huge for me and kept sliding forward and downwards! I felt uncomfy the whole time. Some of the 3D scenes were not really obvious and some of them were quite glaring. :( Many times, I took down the glasses and rather watched it blurred but without restrictions. I guess 2D still works better for me.
The effects of the movie were nice but it was quite boring at the beginning and gets only more interesting towards the end.
As usual, I would put down the story, just in case I would want to refer to it in the future:
