Critic Reviews

  • Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

    It represents the pinnacle, so far, of 3-D filmmaking, and even apart from the technology, it's a very watchable little movie.

  • Michael Joseph Gross, Salon.com

    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.

  • Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times

    The film is the sort likely to whet active young minds to know more about the past.

  • Gary Susman, Village Voice

    The Imax 3-D format continues to evolve toward narrative maturity, without bothering to ask whether viewers want it to.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    Has a pleasant narrative that's impressively elevated by the IMAX 3-D process.
