I am getting the impression that the film is in 3D.

I can't think why.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was.

There are so many films that are these days, but I can't for the life of me figure out why...

Looks to me as though someone's written a stand-alone screenplay about kids getting sucked into a video game and someone in marketing has decided it would sell better with a "familiar" name.

A review of the original.....

 

[Gavin]

Just back from seeing this, and its surprisingly pretty good. As I said in an earlier post it's a bit of a forced sequel, but treated as its own thing its a lot of fun. Dwayne Johnson is always entertaining, Jack Black played a teenage girl stuck in a middle age man's body brilliantly, and I could watch Karen Gillan dance fighting all day.
