For the past week, Lion King in 3D has been playing in theaters. And it definitely lived up to its expectations.
The Lion King was even more magical and fun on the big screen. It was so tempting to sing along with the songs and quote my favorite characters.
The film is still the original Lion King, but it seems to come more to life in theaters. The surround sound, the audience and the big screen made it a fun movie experience. I personally greatly enjoyed this film.
The 3D was not as great as I had hoped though. There were scenes where the 3D effects were definitely noticeable. The “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” scene has some impressive 3D effects.
But in general, the 3D did not have much of an impact on the movie.
Despite the lack of 3D effects, this movie can be enjoyed by all age groups. Especially our generation, which grew up with the Lion King but never got to experience it in the theater.
I would recommend this movie for a family night, a night out with friends, or for younger kids. Especially if they have never seen the Lion King.
Even though the 3D effects were not too great, the experience of this movie is definitely worth the money. Lion King in 3D leaves theaters Sept. 30. Do not miss this amazing experience.
