It's not about the story, it's about the experience. Amazing use of 3D space. I am not surprised it has been one of the most succesful Imax 3D released in the last few years.

Good lord, this was a TERRIBLE movie, has to be the worst movie ive ever seen. i was expecting something much better for an IMAX movie. it sucked some huge a$$ balls, we laughed our a$$'s off the whole time b/c it was so freaking rediculous, anyhows... dont waste your money save it and do something better than seeing this peace of CRAP!
Dee R. gave it a 6:
Obviously this movie was an attempt to apeal to the whole family. I enjoyed the music mostly. If the music wasnt so good I probably would have hated it. The plot was... interesting, but they could of done better. I think the creator should have decided exactly who this was targeted to and stuck to it. But the music was really great. really great.
Michelle W. gave it a 10:
Movie was breathtaking from the start! Incredible attention to detail! Sound track was very supportive of story mood, and captivated the audience. I'm still haunted by "Haunted House"!
Matt F. gave it a 1:
The music was superb, the technique was good, the idea was good. Why did I give it a 1? Well because I saw it in German. The dubbing wasn't convincing. The story didnt make sense, It seemed to be a demonstration of how IMAX has the ability to do something like that, not to actually use the technology. It was disappointing.
Jaspa S. gave it a 1:
This film was entirely silly and went downhill right when the knights came alive (beginning). The music was creepy though. The plot did not make sense... CRAPPY.
G. D. gave it a 4:
The critics are right--it's a quite worthy technical demonstration with no particular dramatic value.
