What IMAX 3-D is ready for -- and perfect for -- is Siegfried & Roy.

Movies are not a hospitable medium for magic, at least not the kind of magic practiced in Las Vegas by Siegfried and Roy.

A match made in movie heaven, because 3-D is the perfect format to tell the story of this stellar, over-the-top duo.

A masterpiece of insanity. ... the greatest unintentional comedy since Glen or Glenda.

I've never seen their show live, but based on the Imax footage, I'm not impressed.

Viewers will have to fight the urge to flick stardust off their shoulders -- it's that real.

Has to be one of the most visually startling films ever to reach screens.
