Even if I didn't see this movie in 3D, I still find it very beautiful. This is, as many have said elsewhere, a tribute to the early years of movie making and specifically to Georges Méliès. The way in which the history is brought back to life is the wonderful aspect of the movie; letting the viewer discover the story along with the main character. Acting by the two young actors, alongside the veteran Ben Kingsley, is superb. The cinematography and the sound are what carries it onto the next level. It is also good to hear that Scorsese enjoyed working in the 3D medium. My Rating: 7.5
