I will try to keep this brief, as many have sung the praises of Up.
1) It is a great film.
2) I am happy that Pixar did not beat you to death with its use of 3D. It was subtle, adding the hint of depth. I feel that I was assaulted enough by the previews of all the new 3D films soon to be released.
My wife and eight year old daughter were disappointed in the lack of in your face 3D action. I tried to explain the subtlety and relief I felt with their approach to 3D. My daughter thought about this for a moment and said: "well, it was their first 3D film." As to imply that they need more time to really learn how to make stuff jump out at you and make the audience wet themselves as things fly out at you.
Fortunately, I remember the previews, and am able to remind my family that soon their wishes will be answered, and that gerbil movie will me wildly successful...
