Superb multi media experience
Reviewer: Film Mum

fantastic visual effects, great music, some stonking performances and an incredible almost 3D feel to the whole experience. What's not to like? A real boys' movie - not to be viewed with even a hint of a migraine. But worth your time - it's gorgeous, like the classic Tron but with more of a plot
Daily Telegraph: 1 star, deservedly

We took my 10 year old son to see this today, and he was happy to stay in the cinema and watch it.....we couldn't stand it and went out for a coffee and a chat and picked him up at the end. What an awful waste of talent for Susan Sarandon to be involved in this rubbish.
Daily Telegraph gave it 1 star out of 5 in it's review on Saturday, but we decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, unfortunately.
