Went and saw the premiere with my kids (both under 7) this week. They thought it was great, and although the run time was a little short for my tastes, it worked out great for their attention spans. My little one seemed a little bored during some of the slower portions.

The film was visually very appealing, the landscape was terrific. The far away shots of the desert were really stunning as well as the race footage. You could almost feel the sand being kicked up during the race scenes. IMAX was a great format to see this in and my kids were in awe of the size of the screen.

That being said, the acting was a bit strained but hey 2 of the 3 main characters were kids and the other was the horse. And while it may be nit picking, how does a 12 year-old girl start a fire all by herself with no tools or supplies?

Anyway, overall a fun experience to take your kids to.

The horses are beautiful,and the little girl is quite pretty.Young kids will like the movie.I might add if you like horses maybe you can overlook the the absurd things that happen.Even if I suspend my belief about her finding the way home through the desert, or that a wild colt will let you walk right up to it,it's too much to ask that after "running wild" for a year, you can walk right up and climb on.I was with my wild filly a lot longer than she was.I climbed on and Zephyr threw me half way over a 6'fence.Folks enjoy the movie but PLEASE explain to your kid that getting on a wild untamed horse is NOT a good idea.

I LOVED this movie. I also as some other people thought it was slow-going and it actually bored me at first, but then at the ending really intense. I also thought it was much too short. I said at the end of the movie "It's over?, well that's stupid." They should have made the training part much longer. All they showed was when she was riding him then riding him with a saddle.

I also loved the scenery.It was beautiful.

I thought there was too many different horses playing the same part. I was reading in a magazine there was like 9 different horses playing it. And not only that you could tell very well that they were different breeds also.

But after those mistakes I loved it, it was a touching story.
