Awesome movie, but I received a version I didn't order, which is highly disappointing.

I really rolled the dice on this one, and I'm glad I did. There are few movies like this that display such a loving execution of technical production. Visually, it's astonishing. The 3D rendering on blu-ray is second to none, and is so crisp that there is now a dent in the floor in front of my TV where my jaw kept hitting it.
The story will not surprise seasoned moviegoers, and the arc is a bit predictable, but this does little to detract from the experience overall. Younger viewers (preteen and younger) needn't worry about that so much, but may be a bit put off by the intensity of some of the scenes ( you won't see blood or gore, but there is no shortage of theatrical implications of violence). This film also addresses some fairly heavy social issues, so some parental guidance for the aforementioned kiddos would probably not be a bad idea.
Also, this movie is FULL of fowl language.
Get it? Fowl ? Man, I'm funny.
And no, I don't recall hearing ANY profanity.

Great Movie for Everyone

This movie is very fun and much better than I expected. I didn't know what to expect from an animation all about owls, but I thoroughly enjoyed this flick. The plot is simple and perhaps a bit unoriginal, but that makes the movie easy to watch. The animation is cute and the characters have a fun array of personalities. There are emotional and thrilling moments in the story as well as a lot of beautiful aerial action. I feel a bit sorry that I didn't go watch it in 3D in IMAX. But that's ok maybe one day I'll get a 3D tv and buy the bluray 3d version. I recommend buying a bluray of this if you have an HD TV.

Great Movie in 3d

I took a chance on this title based on the reviews I read as usually. I knew nothing of it and I was skeptical about it in fact. This was a great movie to invest in. This was one of my first 3d movies purchased. This was a completely different plotted movie considering its characters. The models were great along with the 3d, the environments and the plot itself. Money well spent. It even has a bit of moral value to it. It has 4 viewing formats so it definitely makes the price worth it. I am convinced that if you purchase these 3d movies during its release week, it will save you at least 10 bucks and makes these 3d movies a bargain considering they have multiple formats.

Very Creative Movie with stunning Visuals

The Legends of the Guardians is a very touching movie about owls who are curious about this tale they have always been told. Its like a story about owls mixed with Lord of the Rings and a little Star Wars without the space involved. It has beautiful graphics and can be a little scary at times but is a very enjoyable movie.

Excellent 3D!!!

Ok, I don't normally write reviews but so far I own pretty much every 3D movie that's come out. Simply put, this movie has about the prettiest 3D you'll find in any movie. One person commented on ghosting, but he's also watching on an LCD 3D TV, and I'm using a Viera VT-25 Plasma (Note to people interested in getting a 3D TV, Viera's the way to go for the way Plasma works vs LCD. Without getting too technical with LCD you can only get 30hz per eye and Plasma you get the full 60hz the movie is running at per eye)... Anyway on my TV this movie is simply stunning. Crystal clear 3D with excellent depth. It's a great story and even I find myself watching it over and over... If you own a 3D TV this movie is a MUST!!

The whole family saw this movie at the theater and my little one could not wait for Christmas to get it. It's been watched about 30 or 40 times since Christmas! I haven't seen the DVD extras myself, but my youngest is a master with the remote and loves watching the extras so they must be at least semi-entertaining.

I won't review the movie except to say that this movie is beatifully rendered, particularly in 3D. We've watched several movies on our 3 month old 3D set up. This is one of the best 3D films in terms of visual beauty. The 3D effects add to the excitement and beauty. I'm not a videophile or claim any particular movie critic expertise. Simply, my wife, 12 year old daughter and 8 year old son love the movie.

I'm always looking for movies that my kids can enjoy (9 yr olds), and that I can enjoy as well. This is one that greatly surprised me, and was very enjoyable! I would put this right up there with Despicable Me... which I own as well. The 3D in this is awesome, as you might think with a flying aspect that plays right into 3D. Highly recommend!

I bought this movie a couple months ago and was not disappointed. The movie is well written and well worth the price. 3D effects are as good as any I've seen. You won't be disappointed if you purchase this movie.

Probably goes to the top of the list for home 3D effects (and yes, that includes Avatar)...so if you own a 3D set , YOU MUST GET THIS 3D Bluray! I also really enjoyed Alice in Wonderland 3Dand Smurfs 3D. It's more than just a great picture, it is also GREAT sound on our 9.1 surround system.

Purchased this movie as my/our first in home 3D film tO enjoy on our new Panny 65VT30 and it was amazing!! Exactly what we were hoping for and made us actually appreciate the 3D capabilities of our new entertainment system. If you want an amazing 3D film, this and Hugo are probably the top 2!

It is a good movie, not as good as a Disney 3D, but still entertaining for young and old alike. Maybe the Owl fight scenes are a little graphic for the wee ones, but not overly so.

Wrong version (NOT 3 DISC VERSION)

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Like another review said this SKU number is supposed to have 3D, Bluray, DVD, and Code. It only has the 3D Bluray and regular Bluray. There was no DVD or online code to redeem. Luckily it at least had a 3D Bluray, but still annoying. How have they not fixed this? Clearly says in the title and on the picture what it is.
As to the movie? It's was great in 2D I bet it is great in 3D too! So I'll give the movie itself 5 stars. I give 1 star to Bestbuy for messing up their listing on their website.
