Roger Ebert, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, praised the film for accurately presenting what 3D technology is capable of. He particularly singled out the size of the IMAX screens the film was projected on. He wrote, "(The film) takes advantage of the squarish six-story screen to envelop us in the images; the edges of the frame don't have the same kind of distracting cutoff power they possess in the smaller rectangles of conventional theatres."[6]
Contrarily, Paul Tatara of CNN.com was displeased with the film's over-reliance on 3D effects, continuing to say, "Unfortunately, you can't escape the sensation that you might end up wearing the contents of your stomach while you watch it."[7]
