Had a lovely time forcing my friends to endure this nightmarish purgatory on opening night. Absolutely whimsical experience, I will cherish their screams of terror forever.

I gave it 5 stars because the cast, and dancing was great! I saw Cats on Broadway when I was a child, i am 32 now so it was nice taking my mom to see it in the theater. Broadway will always be better!

I loved the singing & dancing & their costumes. It was cute that their ears & tails moved. Very realistic & I loved how they captured the essence & personality of their roll as a cat. Especially since I am a cat lover I thought that was important.

do yourself a favor and skip this movie, it was just plain awful, even the actors said it sucked, and if you look at the cats feet you will see the worst cgi ever where they failed to bring the ground up high enough to touch the characters limbs, most of the dances the…

This movie was one weird movie. The plot was very vague and made no sense. Great music but not worth the money

The studio obviously never heard of test screenings. It needed a few more months in the editing room. Lots of it did not work.

Talented ensemble at their best. Makes me wish I had seen the live performance. I would have likes to see a trailer after the movie that identified who played each role could only identify about five actors.

I don’t know what to say about what I just saw - very different kind of movie. Jennifer Hudson was amazing and the dancing was great - the CG was distracting tho

Worst movie I have seen! People Walked out of theater during first 1/2 hour. The only good thing about this movie was Jennifer Hudson’s performance and the costumes. Could they not see how bad it was while filming????

Not my favorite. Good effects but it was very slow and felt more like slugging through it than enjoying a real world distraction.

I loved the Broadway Show. I even did this show in elementary school. Was shocked beyond belief how it did measure up to my standards.

Not sure why this is one of the longest running musicals ever. Judy Dench, Did you not have ANY other options? Jennifer Hudson was good, though, so two stars for that.

Nothing special. If you've experienced Cats before, there's really no need to watch this version.

Disappointing, it started pretty good but as it continued its disappointing performance by few actress and actor roles . first the cameras were all over the place shooting from one angle to next with shaking motion. I also think that certain customs could have been…

I love all things Broadway and cat related things but that was the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Such a great cast but such a poor performance. Do not recommend.

I loved this movie! Creative costumes with moving cat ears, tails etc and beautiful depictions of fur, spots, colorations and skin. Fabulous dance moves with some cast from the Royal Opera. Singing was also very good but Jennifer Hudson a huge disappointment! Can't that…

The real issue is the distracting and disturbing “digital fur technology”. Every time Cats settles into an admittedly avant-garde shape, an ear twitches or a tail flicks and you’re back thinking about how ghastly the actual cats look.

Cats undermines itself in both editing and musical arrangement, barely has a plot to hang its hat on, and is CGI-ed into oblivion. Yet there’s something weirdly wonderful about just how committed Hooper is to his vision, which feels like it should have been audience-tested into something less phantasmagorical.

Whether you think the imagery is beautiful or nightmarish, this is a film that demands to be looked at. If nothing else, I can confirm it’s the most Jellicle experience I’ve had all year.
