Coraline 3D: two thumbs up
This was an amazing movie. It was visually awesome, the 3D was pretty much seamless, and the story was completely engaging through the entire film. It was definitely interesting enough for adults, and was done in such a flawless way that I completely forgot to think about how this world was accomplished and instead was wrapped up into it, only experiencing and drinking it in.
The story had a very good lesson, for kids and adults alike, about appreciating what one has even if it is not perfect. It was a little scary, probably too scary for kids under 6 or so. But every kid has a different sensitivity level and some younger kids could probably handle it. I watched some pretty violent, scary movies when I was younger and look at me now. Peachy-keen.
Anyway, Coraline was a stunning and entrancing film, and should definitely win awards for the quality of production and original screenplay. Voice acting was also notable, I couldn't recognize Dakota Fanning as herself and this film won me over as if I were a child seeing it, convincing me of the characters' existence and viability and bringing me into their world in so many ways. It was excellent, and everyone should see it. And definitely worth it to see in 3D.
