Tommy Nelson I saw this movie for the first time around 7 years ago. Not that long ago, but long enough where 3-D movies were still an attraction, and were around to go to on special occasions or once in a while. Now that they're everywhere and every movie is in 3-D, movies like this one would most likely not be funded because there are big budget 3-D films out there that could make a fortune, and people will definitely go to see them instead of this. And really, this isn't even a very good movie, but, the 3-D is the best I've ever seen, and far superb to 3-D films I've seen even recently. The story isn't great, and the plot is pretty muddled, but this film is a vessel to show off amazing 3-D effects, and as a 3-D vessel, this is pretty darn impressive.The story follows a young man named Johnny, whose father just passed away. Johnny goes to a castle his dad left him and meets Mr. D (voiced by Harry Shearer of the Simpsons), who is actually the Devil. Johnny wants to be a rock and roll star, like his father was, so naturally Satan wants him to sell his soul. Following the basic plot is a string of special effect scenes, which make up 80% of the movie.This movie, as a film, probably deserves about a 3/10. I would never watch this on home video, unless the new 3-D TV's did this thing justice to make it as amazing as it was in Imax. As a 3-D movie, I'd give it a 10. Where movie's currently are being put in 3-D just to make more money, this movie was clearly built for 3-D. And it's really good 3-D. Parts of the movie are right in front of your face, and I don't just mean things pop out, I mean the entire film looks like it's happening right in front of your face. This 3-D is so good, that it makes up somewhat for the stupid characters, and the dumb plot, and the idiotic ending. Where I would normally dislike a movie with a bad plot and good effects, I actually didn't dislike this. It's a very engulfing experience, and the 3-D helps make this very watchable.My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. Not rated, contains some mild language and violence. 40 mins.

jadevaughcat First I am glad I didn't pay to see this. I was able to attend a staff preview and I wasn't the only one who was of the opinion that this movie is possibly the worst IMAX ever. I personally put it up there with Solar Max on my list of bad movies. Second, since the movie came out it 2001, there have been so many advancements in 3D animation, perhaps that is why I wasn't impressed with visuals which were fuzzy at times because our IMAX isn't a 3D theater. Maybe IMAX will try again when they can spend a little more money on cleaning up the film so that it doesn't have a jittery effect. Oh and maybe they could spend some time on story and suspense when they do a thriller.Lastly I don't recommend the film to venues that cater to audiences with small children- Unless you are running it at a time that draws more adults and teens. Anyone running this film should have staff that are prepared to answer the question "What is the film about?" and "would it scare my child?".

crichtonmaitadm Wow! Shucks! What can i say Two worlds collide the intricate plot had me and my family really warped in the fantastic film! WoW! The music was incredible - loved the free pair of sunglasses that came with the DVD! bit fake having a roller coaster in a castle so i gave it 9/10 but otherwise perfect for birthday or Christmas!!! It was an emotional voyage as the bereaved mother fought to save her son from selling his soul to the fantastically voiced Mr D. (Harry Shearer). I felt that the enjambement was unreal and the castle provided perfect pathetic fallacy! I have not seen a better interpretation of an evil overlord who controls immortal singers since pearl harbour. watch it. period.

hutching I once saw a 3D IMAX movie before, a documentary about the wildlife in the Galapagos Islands. That movie was amazing, as the 3D is really good and makes you feel like you are right THERE.This movie's 3D also made me feel like I was right there, but unfortunately this was a place where I did not want to be. The scenery was dismal and ugly, the plot made little sense, the dialogue was awful... I would give more details about how bad it was but I can't bear to go back and think about it again. I would have walked out but I was trapped by this handrail that they lower in the IMAX theatre. Maybe that's why it's there...There were some cool 3D effects; there was a neat rollercoaster ride (through hell though) , and my favorite effect was one where there were two parallel worlds connected by a window that you could look through. Unfortunately, what I saw when I looked through was neither scary nor entertaining, just revolting.A bad movie in 3D is still a bad movie. I highly recommend 3D IMAX if you haven't seen it before --- just not this one.
