Sadly before I saw the 3d trailer I had no intention of seeing it but the 3d looked pretty good and I intended to take the four kids. Now I may sit on it until Bluray.

Sad dad.

UGH! even more maddening... there is just one showing near me (40 min away) in 3d at 11:50am Friday and then that is it! No more 3d viewings the whole weekend. One showing at a time when all my kids have school.

I hear what you're saying. All of my theater chains are only playing the 2D shows only. Not a single 3D show. Yeah, the theaters are going barebones on the 3D shows since mid 2018 lately. Apparently not as many people are supporting the 3D shows in theaters (as much as the theaters would like) if this is the new trend, as theaters are there to make money from tickets sold, and popcorn/soda/candy. But when I go to see the 3D films they show, the theaters are usually packed.

Good point and you're right, my theaters have all the 3D for Captain Marvel, which was worthwhile, but they should spare at least one 3D show for Wonder Park 3D. Oh well.

They are showing it in RealD 3D at several theaters here in the Houston area.

That's good to hear some theaters have 3D.

There are countless scenes were the 3D adds a fantastic layering effect; a floating piece of paper is within arms length; when June finds the coaster car particles floating in the air seem to wander out and off of the screen; the Chimpanzombies cracking a glass floor and essentially destroying it and sending our title protagonists all over the place - I could on for another paragraph. For animation/3D fans this is just a visual treat - the story and script, eh ... it's pretty one-note, takes no risks, predictable and let's the visuals mask that fact.

It also didn't help that two under three year old children were screaming, running around entire the auditorium, I was able to zone them out, but come on (dear mothers: it's over 75 degrees outside, go find a playground, they had zero patience to be at the movies - end of quable).

Thanks for the 3D review Dubstar. The 3D sounds promising. Hopefully the movie is generally entertaining.

Sorry to hear about the kids screaming during the film. That is distracting, I agree. When I went to see Captain Marvel 3D last weekend, one kid was by the side wall steps, hitting the walkway lights to blot them out for probably the first 10 minutes of the film from my side view as the father sat there allowing it, while the movie played in 3D. The father could've said, Hey, the movie's starting! Take a seat.

oh it's entertaining, but light on plot or the depth of say Pixar quality script writing - although the 'song' about Pi was pretty funny. Not only were these two kids at my screening screaming randomly at points during the movie but at one time one was jumping up and down on the recliner's arm but one also ran in between the row I happened to be sitting in, oh the evil thought of tripping the kid or hurling some of my popcorn at the tyke's head was tempting.
