3D Movie

We went and saw Bolt in 3D this weekend. Boy, 3D is MUCH better than it used to be. I was a little unsure about it-the last 3D movie we saw was Shark Boy and Lava Girl, quite possibly the WORST kid movie ever-but Bolt was great! It was too much fun to see all of the kids with glasses on, stuffing their faces with popcorn and giggling out loud. The little hamster, Rhino, stole the show. We saved the glasses so that when the movie comes out on video, we will all be able to watch it in 3D again.

On the down side, can you believe that it cost us around $90 for our family to go to the movie and get popcorn and drinks!?! We even went to the matinee and got the "Family Combo" popcorn pack! There was an additional charge for the movie due to the glasses. We didn't know that before we went. Once in Dover with 5 excited kids, we weren't going home until we had seen the movie! Now we know why we usually wait for movies to come out on video. It costs less to buy a DVD as it does for us to go out to the movie-and they get to watch it over and over! Oh well, it was worth it this time to see the kids enjoy the movie. At least it wasn't Shark Boy and Lava Girl (that was a dollar theater experience and we still paid too much!)
