I will say though that Sylvester Stallone was actually kind of interesting as the antagonist, other than his lame interaction with the computer simulations of the different sides of his personalities.  

As you may have already guessed, yes, this movie is 3-D (though with the DVD you have the option of watching it normally as well). While Juni is fighting to find his sister within the game, it is done masterfully in 3-D. You do however have to put up with some cheesy elements that'll make you cringe, but what else can you expect from a kids movie?

Cue the pointless graphics to amaze the audience!
It is very fast paced and the CGI used within the movie is incredibly well done. The kids themselves perform exceptionally considering that almost everything they are interacting with is not real.
 
Overall, this movie is a great addition to the whole CGI/Live Action genre. It may not be at the writing level of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? But it is levels above most modern kid movies, as well as most of the bullshit action movies out there. It is a ton of fun, has a series of great messages for kids, and aesthetically is one of best movies in recent years. And it actually feels like you are watching a video game.

Disturbing that Elijah looks younger than the child actors in the film

I think that the people behind movies like Resident Evil and House of the Dead could learn a lot from this movie. Keep in mind though that 3-D takes a toll on the eyes for some (as I found out the hard way).

RATING: 6/7
 
Special Note on DVD features:

The one incredibly negative thing I will say about this movie comes from the special features on the DVD version. While there are a TON of great little add-ons that are quite interesting (including thankfully a 2-D version) there is one feature that gets on my last nerve. For some odd reason they've decided to make Alexa Vega into a pop star. She sings 3 songs at the premiere of the movie, which they have included for your viewing "pleasure".

Thanks to the asshole execs for turning the girl that could've been the next snarkey as fuck Darlene Conner...to being nothing more than a vapid pop princess. There is a behind the scenes look at her recording a single as well which makes it all the more comedic, since it proves that she really can't sing at all. Add in that this girl we've seen grow up on the screen is suddenly writhing around on-stage like a teenage slut makes it even more disgusting. But all of you perverts out there will have something to masturbate to since the Olsen Twins are now legal.

 

Oh wait...Alexa Vega is only 15? Maybe we shouldn't focus on her breasts so much during the filming of this music video. Fuck it! It just means more old pervs will buy the DVD.
