Grade: C

Comin’ At Ya! is celebrating it’s 30 year anniversary, but this time it is being released in Real D and under the distribution of Austin’s own Drafthouse Films.  This will mark the first fully restoration of a 3D film using state-of-the-art technology.  The visual effects are done by Sassoon Film Designs and the 3D Mastering and color correction is done by EFILM.  Everything that you can dream of that would blatantly come out towards you in a 3D film does so in this classic slapstick western.  This makes it one of the most fun 3D films of all time!  Bats, flaming torches, fiery darts and a scorpion are about 1% of the many things that will seem are in your face.  If this isn’t enough for you, then the premise probably won’t be either, but there is no other way to see this film, but at the theater.

In Comin’ At Ya! directed by Ferdinando Baldi, a gun slinging cowboy, Hart and his girl, Abilene rob a bank and then get married.  White slave traders kidnap Abilene and intend to sell her into prostitution across the border into Mexico along with dozens of other women that they have locked up.  Hart sets out to save her and captures the brother of the ringleader.  He uses him as an advantage to get his wife back. 

It’s slogan has a warning.  “The Management is not responsible for where the screen ends and you begin!”  No matter what, you will have a blast, especially watching something like this film in the comfort of your area Alamo Drafthouse with spirits to make you laugh.

Only playing at Alamo Drafthouse locations in Austin!

C – Average, entertaining at parts; you might want to wait and rent it

D – Lacks a lot from entertainment, plot, realism, development, etc.

F – Terrible and you will want to walk out of the movie; no redemptive qualities whatsoever   Review: Comin' at Ya! 3D
