Gadgetell Review: U23D
Product: U23D movie experiencePrice and Availability: $8.25, matinée, in theaters nowRating: 8/10Pros: 3D, the wave of the future? Real enough I had to fight the urge to clap in between numbersCons: Sound wasn’t nearly loud enough, price was more than your regular movieOverall: I believe studios will be making lots more of these up-market movies, audiences have shown they are willing to pay more for 3D. The quality of the movie was great. The 3D effects made watching fun.
