Coraline 3D

very, very weird.


I liked it, but it was weird.

We saw it yesterday & I loved it!! I'm a big Nightmare Before Christmas fan though.

It was very weird, but a great movie!

I wonder if it will be 3-D for home TV's when it comes out on DVD The one in the theater was polarized so I'm not sure if that will transfer or home TV's.

Is it too weird for an almost 7 year old who is just getting over a fear of mascots and santa?
The stop action looks so neat..I would love for our family to go...but I think it may be too much for our youngest...

There were a lot of little ones when we went. No one seemed to be scared. It was also not in 3-D. I think it just depends on the child. Go early in the day, so they have time to get it off there mind before bed, and be prepared to leave?

Thanks...
we watch a bit about the making of it.... she enjoyed seeing how it was made...

We went to the 3-D version-a matinee-& there were alot of kids between the ages of 6-12 there. No one seemed terribly scared.

I agree to go to an afternoon showing & your little one should be fine.

There were lots of small children in our theater. I took DS9 and DS10. What was also "weird" was that all the kids were quiet! So they were either fascinated or sleeping. I didn't think that the 3D effect added a fear factor to it, it just gave the movie a little more dimension. They didn't even do any of the old standby 3D effects like throwing things at the audience!

It's not weird in a really scary way..more like a very weird imaginative way. Like how in the world did anyone think of all this to put into a movie. Very, very creative. There were some scary parts, but nothing intense. I think a 7 year old would like it. One of those movies where you wonder what the writer/director was smoking when they came up with it..

I was shocked to find out that the movie theater considered this 3D a "special event" and they charged an extra $2.50 for it! And they wouldn't let me use my free tickets because it was a special event. I haven't been to a 3D movie since Shark boy and Lava girl-that didn't have a surcharge. When did they start that baloney? Then the wanted the glasses "recycled" at the end. I kept mine, if they wanted them back they should give me the $2.50 I paid for them..boy that really ticked me off. I guess if it comes out in 3Don DVD, they will have to give you glasses anyway, but I wasn't about to give them back.

We kept our glasses too-for the same exact reason!! I was also surprised about the surcharge AND the recycling box to return them in the end.

My dd9 went and saw it today and I thought it was good but a little strange. But there was a funny part, the old lady with the big 00!!!!!! that was.....(.no words can come to me right now)

We saw this movie today in 3-D. I really liked it, but I did think it might be too intense for younger kids (say, under 8).

 

[LadyEMT]

We saw this today, too! My dd is almost 14, and this kind of thing is right up her alley. When dd was 5 she watched Nightmare Before Christmas over and over.

We met my work partner and his wife at the theater, and they brought their 6 year old. I was worried she might get scared, but she loved it too.

I have to ask if you saw it at the Carmike! We were at the 3:20 show.

This kind of movie is one reason I love Disney so much, just pure fantasy.

We saw it in 3D yesterday with a 6 and 9 year old. Neither came even close to being scared. They only liked it... nobody in our party "loved" it. It was ok, but to see it in 3D we spent $40Thats just too much $$ IMHO.

What was up with the part with the downstairs neighbors... that one part... Eeew! (not scary just sort of icky)

Did you guys get those cheap paper glasses? We got those REAL glasses and you cant take them home. They set off the alarms or something!

OMG, YOU ARE SCARING ME!!!


YES!!!! WE WERE THERE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

Lol! Well we do live in a smallish town. I wasn't even planning on going to a movie today until my friend called.

I had read some of the reviews and I think they made it sound more sinister than it was...Although, there ARE some more intense parts. Maybe the fact that my dd is just older, and watches quite a bit of anime, that I didn't worry about her getting freaked out.

 

[wall*e2008]

We saw the movie. The movie was true to the book. I found the book weird but enjoyable at the same time. DH really liked the movie and he never read the book. I would give the movie .

For us the surcharge was not for the glasses but for the DLP projector that is used to the 3-D movies. We have paid that price for all the 3-D movies we have seen.

I absolutely loved it! Of course, I was already biased, being a huge Neil Gaiman fan anyway...

I have a question, though, that I can't seem to find an answer...a couple of times, Coraline picks up a photograph of two of her friends...was it me, or did they look exactly like Harry Potter and Ron Weasley?

So that probably means that the 3D effects will not transfer to DVD and TV, I guess.

As I said, the last 3D movie I saw was Shark Boy and Lava Girl..and that was at a bargain theater, so I am sure it was different technology not requiring a special projector. (I don't get out much, as you can tell!) It was still a shock to see that I was paying $10 for a matinee!!

They can still do it on the DVD but it will not be as good. We paid $11.50 for our tickets. No matinee here for the DLP projector.
