This is the type of movie that 3D is particularly suited to. There is one scene in which the turtles are careening down a mountain side which just wouldn't look good in plain old 3D.
The movie is yet another reboot of the turtle origin story. Fortunately, the turtles do NOT come from outer space, which was one of the early ideas for the film. In fact, they weren't going to be teenagers either. The film was going to be called just Ninja Turtles, and some people speculated that the turtles would be middle aged aliens! Fortunately, good sense kicked in along the line and that idea was dropped. Now, I'm all for letting film makers experiment with the source material, but in this case, a teenage mutant ninja turtle will always bee a teenage mutant ninja turtle
One change I did find fresh was the way that April O'Neil was tied closer to the origin of the turtles. I thought was a nice addition to the existing story.
By my count, this is the third reboot of the turtle story. I quite liked the energy of the first one. the second one, the CGI TMNT was ok, but not outstanding, and this one is just different enough to make it enjoyable
