***** (2010)
GUARANTEED 100% SPOILER-FREE
I'm not going to say much beyond insisting that all of you just go see this, and marvel at the unparalleled artistry of Pixar. I'll just make a couple of quick points:
1) It's the best 3D I've ever seen, bar none. They really know how to do it. My previous favorite was Beowulf, but even that seems gimmicky and projectile-heavy compared to TS3. The 3D especially shines in...
2) ...the short, Day & Night, is not only mind-blowingly brilliant but makes the cleverest use of 3D I've ever seen anywhere.
3) All Pixar systems were completely re-done circa Up, so all the character models and sets had to be completely rebuilt from scratch, and they're both noticeably superior and exactly the same as the last two times, if you can dig it. They've found a perfect visual balance between the 15-year-old pristine "birth of the CGI movie" Toy Story look of Andy's room and the post-Wall-E astounding atmospherics and textures.
4) Another trilogy with no weak link, like The Lord of the Rings (and, of course, The Expando Machine) (kidding).
5) God, I love animation!

I caught it last night. I didn't go to the 3D version after being disappointed in Clash of the Titans and Alice in Wonderland. Now I'm hitting myself.
I loved it. My only complaint is that it was overly sappy at times. (Yes, I know it's a kid's movie but the thought "enough already!" crossed my mind.)
I thought it was exactly the right amount of sappy...but your milage may vary.
Saw it last week via bootleg and loved it! I didn't mind the sappiness. I thought it had the same vibe as the other two and I love the ending.
Let's try to keep this thread spoiler-free.
(I'm looking at you, JPX.)
I can't wait to see this! Thanks for spoiler-free stuff. I am hoping to take the kiddos next week sometime. SO excited. I will probably enjoy the sappiness, cause that's how I roll.
