****Review is for 3-D version only. Can't IMAGINE it any other way****

OK, this is the most astonishing movie I have ever seen. First word I heard leaving the theater was 'amazing!' No doubt about it.

I won't discuss the plot. Suffice it to say the plot is good, but nothing, I repeat NOTHING can match the special effects of the 3-D. Plot aside, this movie is a visual feast for the senses. The flight and fight scenes are magnificent.

Duracell Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries, MIGNON/HR&hellip by Duracell
2.0 out of 5 stars NOT up to Duracell reputation, October 25, 2009
I used these in my digital camera, and they didn't hold a charge after less than a hundred cycles. Very disappointed in these. Expected more. On the other hand, I have Energizers that are still doing just fine after two years. Would not recommend Duracells for heavy duty rechargeable use.
