Read carefully before you buy!

Being a 3D addict, when I saw the box, I grabbed it before reading it carefully. I was under the impression that it was a third in a series (such as was the case with Jaws 3-D which was a new story). We'd already seen G-Force. Good movie, but the 3D is not worth buying another copy to get it.
I don't appreciate companies that re-process older movies into 3D and expect us to fork over $30+ for it. I have an LG 3DTV which has software built into it which processes 2D into 3D almost as good as the studios do. Granted, it's not exactly as perfected as the studio work, but it is still only processed. It is simply impossible (because of the nature of 3D) to get an accurate 3D view without having two separate lenses capturing two separate views of a scene.
Processing 2D to 3D simply places objects in various positions in Z-space when they overlap. It does that by offsetting the object in the X direction (side to side). However, when you see a person in real life, for example, looking at them face to face your right eye observes more of the person's left side than what your left eye sees...and vice versa. Your brain needs these two different images to process the 3D. When via a computer you process 2D to 3D it's the same exact image only put in different locations to simulate depth. The result is that you feel like you are looking at cardboard cutouts rather than real objects or people.
THAT'S why I gave this particular video a 2. And THAT's why I will not buy Star Wars when it is processed into 3D. Unless you completely re-shoot it, it's not any better than what my TV can do.
What's great about it: Story
What's not so great: 3D
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fine story, acting lacking, bad editing, 3D wasted

The editing was the worst of all the films. Not enough deleted scenes. It was obvious that they were trying to stretch half a book into a full movie. The dancing scene in the tent for example...a waste of time. The 3D was an afterthought. My LG TV does a better job of processing 2D to 3D. It convinced me not to buy the first 6 films when they are released in 3D. There is simply no substitute for actually shooting with a 3D camera (2 lenses). The only part that was an improvement on the book was giving Hedwig, the owl a more meaningful death.
What's great about it: Story
What's not so great: directing and editing
