Jim, the kids and I saw the movie when it was first released. I had no clue this actually existed, that is an impressive piece of engineering. I enjoyed the movie also.

Thanks Jim,
I had no idea that the movie had historic inspiration. Seeing the film in 3d was the most enjoyable night at the movies we have had for years. Nice to see 3d effects applied to a movie that isn't a cartoon or comic book action.
