I went to see "Tangled" in 3D today. Did you know that it is the most expensive animated film ever made? Maybe because there was so much hair in it? Kidding!

I loved the movie (I am a sucker for happily-ever-after fairytales), and also the music (written by the amazing Alan Menken who also wrote the music for "Enchanted", my another favourite - okay too much info)! My favourite scene would be the "lanterns" scene. Not only was it visually stunning, it was the scene that made me teary-eyed.
Though I enjoyed the movie, my experience of watching it in 3D was a rather uncomfortable one. I was slightly disappointed at first, but I'm starting to think that the problem might be a self-inflicted one. The pictures weren't as sharp and crisp as I thought they would be, but it may be due to my worsened eyesight or the fact that I'm wearing two glasses. I wonder if the designers of the 3D glasses even had the bespectacled population in mind. The glasses kept slipping off from those I'm already wearing and I literally held those glasses with my hand throughout the entire movie. They could have made little hooks on it or something! The ones I wore at Sentosa island's 4D movie did not have this problem at all.
Overall it was a rather worthwhile experience. I'm looking forward to see the movie again in 2D when it comes out on DVD. 3D is revolutionary - the way the objects pop out of the screen and float in front of your eyes makes you gape at the screen in awe, but I'm still a fan of traditional 2D. Until I get my new glasses or wear contact lenses, or until they improve the 3D glasses, I don't think I will go for another 3D movie anytime soon.
