I saw it in full 3D at the Imax cinema in Bangkok. Well, meh....
Technically impressive, but the film was a bore. The animation on the horses was horrible, I guess they weren't motion captured and they had no talented animators around to animate them. They used motion capture, and I believe facial motion capture for the actors. I still don't think realistic 3D works, it just becomes stiff and weird (like a film with a bunch of bad actors). If doing animation a more cartoony style is much more expressive and entertaining. And if you want realistic characters, just use real actors.
Personally I found the short film with the Thai national anthem to honor the king that they ran before the film to be much more interesting. Everyone had to stand through it too. :)
