BTW, who here saw the intro with The Hobbit? How awesome was that? We all wanted the movie to continue! Luckily The Hobbit was a worthy successor. The 3D effects in ST made everyone in the audience duck, with all those spears flying in our faces. Loved it. I regret seeing the first film once, and this so far looks to one-up it in every way.

I saw the ST:ID clip at the beginning of The Hobbit. Maybe it is just my prejudice of distaste for the first film, but I was really bored during it and remember thinking, I'm about to sit through a three hour long movie, why do I have to be subjected to an extra ten minutes of sitting for this crap?

The spears being thrown "through the screen" was kind of cool, and I do remember people in the audience ducking, and what sounded like an older woman even let out a bit of a shriek. But is it really that much different than 3D gimmicks in any other movie? Isn't something flying out into your face pretty standard with every single 3D movie being made currently?
