Loved it.

This is the first live action film I've seen where the 3D seems like an essential part of the film. The close ups of clockworks in the train station are particularly effective.

It worked on several levels for me and who knew Martin Scorsese even cared about 3D, much less mastered the art of it?

CINEMA: Cinemark Gateway Stadium 17 (Springfiled, Oregon)
AUDITORIUM: 3
PRESENTATION: Barco DLP 4K
PROBLEMS: Image flicker.
RATING: 83/100

Fun, imaginative, magical, nostalgic, but ultimately unfocused and forgettable.

THIS.

For 3/4 of the film I was waiting for some sort of point to it all. Then it came and went. What a snoozefest. Sorry.
