Looks good. Of course.
IMDB says "Limited Release", and the end of the trailer (well, some versions, anyway - i didn't watch this one all the way through, but it's the same as what i saw elsewhere, content-wise, i think) seems to imply only two shows on 21 December.
Anybody have any info?

I'm interested as well...though I'd prefer a non-3D performance (3D movies tend to make me urpy). I just saw a trailer for it on tv this morning before work, and I only saw December 21st mentioned (nothing that said it was a limited release and only on that day). I certainly hope it's more available that 2 shows on 1 day!!

I understand your 3D problem. In my case it is severe vertigo. Needless to say the Spider-man ride at
Universal's Islands of Adventure was an error on my part.

Somehow I did okay on that ride.
Probably because the "car" you're in feels like it's moving with the sweeping camera movements. I can't watch 3D stuff with "flying" camera motion if I'm sitting still though. I didn't make it very far into Avatar before I had to go be sick in the bathroom. I sat in the theater's hallway and listened to more than 2/3 of the movie just so I didn't feel like it was a complete waste of $13. Hurky-jerky camera movements don't do so well for me either...even in non-3D. I also got sick watching Bourne Ultimatum on the big screen during a fight sequence.
Anyhow, that's how I know I wouldn't be able to enjoy anything Cirque de Soleil in 3D...they swoosh and fly too much.
