Martin Scorsese's role in film preservation is well known and greatly appreciated. His tribute to film preservation in 'hugo' may be less appreciated. although technically brilliant and a great leap forward in 3d filming it is too long and too repetitive. an orphan who lives in a train station in search of film innovator georges melies clocks in at 126 minutes and would have been better served had it been edited by 20 minutes or so. Do not be fooled by the tv ads this is not for kids. they will be fidgeting throughout and any adult will be sorry they brought them to see it.
if you have not seen this in 3d don't waste your time on this film. as a traditional 2d piece of film it will not be worth the entrance price or the eventual rental fee.
