I went to see the new Coraline movie yesterday. Based off Neil Gaiman's book, it is coming out in theatres this Friday February 6. I don't think I had seen any 3D movies as a kid, so this was my very first proper 3D movie and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The technology they use now has several names like "Real D" or "Tru 3D". It's like calling a cola drink Pepsi or Coke. The 3D effect is what you would expect, and the movie creators do go out of their way to create dimensions and textures that make solid use of 3D properties in film , so look out for sharp objects coming your way.
The viewing equipment has come a long way from the red-and-green-lens paper-framed glasses you would expect for watching 3D images. The ones given out yesterday resembled Ray-Ban Wayfarers, and were one-size-fits-all plastic-framed glasses with grey plastic lenses. They did not distort my ordinary vision but seemed to magically bring out the 3D motion with spectacular liveliness when viewing the movie.
The film studios have now taken the liberty to making new movie trailers in 3D as an enticing preview of more magic to come.
As for the film Coraline itself; technology aside; it was a great movie. Not really G-rated 100% kid friendly as there are some aspects of the plot that may not be suitable for children. Anyone above 12 should be safe. This is Tim Burton's work after all.

But It's not a Tim Burton Film, it's A Henry Selick Film D: Mr. Selcik Directed Nightmare Before Christmas, not Tim. Mr. Burton Had Nothing To Do With Coraline
