Rather formulaic - a protagonist who doesn't fit in tries to invent stuff and always causes disasters. He makes a breakthrough but it has to be kept secret because it's against the social norm. He becomes a hero and then his secret is exposed. But there's a bigger problem and a chance for redemption. Typical repeated tag line dialogue like a chorus. Very predictable.
The 3D is quite good, a lot like Avatar, especially the dragon flying scenes through the clouds. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs still stands as the best 3D flick out there for it's sheer audacity in exploiting the effect.
Why do all the Vikings sound like Shrek? Ferguson is okay but underused. Wiig is horribly underused. I couldn't get used to America as a lithe Nordic blonde hottie.
The dragons are colorful.
T & the folks liked it well enough but were also somewhat underwhelmed.
