It represents the pinnacle, so far, of 3-D filmmaking, and even apart from the technology, it's a very watchable little movie.
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Instead of giving its eponymous protagonist center stage to strut and fret and sit in the audience's laps, it spends its best energy throwing a watered-down, imitation-Spielberg story in your face.

The film is the sort likely to whet active young minds to know more about the past.
Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times
Rotten
The Imax 3-D format continues to evolve toward narrative maturity, without bothering to ask whether viewers want it to.
