I, Frankenstein **

wrote and directed this Horror/Thriller. Watch Preview. Cast: Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Socratis Otto, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey, Aden Young. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense fantasy action and violence throughout. Running time is one hour and thirty-three minutes.

 Victor Frankenstein's creation (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle of a battle between vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons as both race to discover the secret of his immortality.

If you're just looking for a 3D action film with lots of computer graphics, here you go. If you want a plot that's interesting and keeps you involved, you'll have to look elsewhere. It's an odd film in that with the exception of two or three lab scientists, there are  no humans present...just gargoyles and demons, and Frank of course. It's also totally humorless and downright depressing throughout. In other words, I didn't find it at all entertaining. I watched the IMAX 3D version which was technically very good, as usual. I don't know that I think this is worth an IMAX presentation, however, and the 3D is effective but unnecessary.

There are no additional scenes once the final credits begin. A large screen will make the CGI effects more effective. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times. IMAX 3D Times.
