Brief Review:
I thought that movie was well done.  I did not watch this in 3D, but I can only imagine what it would have looked like with all of the cool light features.  The one problem I had with the movie was that Clu looked too computer generated.  I understand that computer generation is need, but I thought that they could have covered this fact better than they did.  I would recommend this movie to video gamers.  I feel that they would most like the movie because of its references to games and the effects that were included.  The main idea of the movie is to work together to achieve a common goal and that family needs to stick together.
