    This is nothing against the movie. I have not seen it. I am planning on seeing it. But this “record” doesn’t count because most people are seeing it in IMAX AND 3D. That bumps up the price a lot.

    Of the people who’ve seen it, I agree with their tastes and they suggest I should, so I will likely see it. Then give a review. I want to see Runner Runner and Prisoners and Rush too. Some movies with story and thought.
