Took in this movie at a preview screening last weekend. The theater was packed. About 1/3 of the crowd was turned away.
A fast-paced, blow up movie with a lot of heart. Pays homage to the brave men and women who serve in our military and weaves the Cobra threat into a plausible world framework. Standout performances by Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum and Jonathan Pryce. Keep your eyes peeled for the rescue scene in the Tibetan mountains - it will leave you breathless. Strongly recommended.
My screening was in IMAX 3D. Not sure that the 3D added all that much to the film, but the sound effects were superb. Quite the production - it's obvious that they had the bankroll to do LOTS of physical stunts in exotic locales. The CGI was seamless and kept to a minimum. Elaborate production design and costuming featuring some actual SEAL vehicles. This one will be inspiring hordes of toys and dress-ups for the younger set. Speaking of which, for a PG-13 film, I thought it was pretty conservatively cut. No coarse language, gore or horrific violence, just one scene that's sexually suggestive. I'd class this as a PG.
