Going to the movies is soooo expensive that I never go, however I won passes for an advanced screening of Sinbad next week. Free is a very good price...sure hope it is good and worth the trip to the theatre. :)

My teen and I went to the advanced screening I won tickets for last week and we both give it the thumbs up. :)
I am probably not the best judge since I never go to the theater (dare I say that Chicken Run was the last movie I saw in a theater...like 3-4 years ago), but I have seen many of the animated movies at home. I thought the story was interesting (although the ending was the least exciting and entirely predictable) and the animation and action were great. There were some incredible animated effects. There was lots of laughter and lots of gasps throughout the whole thing. As with so many of the animated features there were definitely adult oriented innuendos and humor. My favorite would have to be when Sinbad was describing a time when he had been captured and stated (and gestured) that there was a knife at his throat, his heart, and just as he pointed to his private parts one of the other guys comes out and yells "pickles and eggs!" (which had been earlier introduced as their food on the ship).
The crowd was definitely a mixture of ages (lots of families, but also couples and groups of teens/young adults) and seemed to be enjoyed by all (except maybe the 2-3 year old across the aisle who asked why questions throughout the entire movie and didn't seem particularly thrilled to be there and the other young one who screamed and cried periodically...not a movie for the real young ones IMHO although the maybe 2 year old in front of us liked the dog in the movie and giggled everytime it was shown.)

I just have to add...the great thing about advanced screenings (outside of the free is a very good price aspect when you win tickets)...no ads, no trailers...just a great movie to enjoy! The worst part...standing in line for an hour to make sure you get a seat as you are told that they intentionally give away more tickets than there are seats.
