Anyone seen it ? I don't see any posts , so.........
Seen the 3-D ? The " flat " ?
That's what I plan to see , at least first...........

No

I would like to see it. I like animated films, and Dreamworks films tend to be very clever. Plus, Stephen Colbert as president?

I wanna see it sooooooooo badly (in 3-D)!

Seen the 3D last weekend, was awesome, hoping to take the kids to see it soon.

...How many people have some familiarity with the " 50s-style " monsters - the Blob , the Fifty Foot Woman , etc. - that they parody ?

Yes, they also parody several other things too outside of that.

It sounds good and I want to see it, hopefully I'll be able to see it around Easter.

I'm too old to see stuff like that. Not to mention that my eyes can't adjust to 3-D.

Saw it on opening weekend!

I saw it yesterday, and overall I'd say it was an exceptional movie. People are used to saying that Dreamwork's animated output isn't as "memorable" or quality as Pixar's, and while usually I agree, this movie proved they can produce films close to that. The animation was beyond fluid, and the action was insanely choreographed and shot. I'd have to say the 3D was also very well used in making the experience more immersive, and often served the story - still, the obvious "in-your-face" effects got a chuckle out of me. Big props to the voice cast, everyone was spot-on (Colbert had me in stitches), and Witherspoon gave life to Susan, making her a very likable heroin, and was probably my favorite character.

Also, I think BOB was quite an achievement. Anyone who has experience trying to animate soft-bodies like that know how difficult it can be to program the dynamic behaviors, they probably had to do quite a bit of R&D to make sure the blob worked. That's a weird thing to notice, but I love animation and was thinking about that after I'd seen the film.

I saw it in 3D, it was amazing and I'm 18!! Fun for everyone!
And I got to keep the funky specs
