 Captain EO
I'm really excited to see Captain EO at EPCOT on our September trip. I remember seeing this as a kid (a loooong time ago) lol  Is this still a fun show after all these years? How are the special effects?
Also, are there plans to remove this anytime soon? If they do, I hope they replace it with something new. Honey I Shrunk the Audience never really thrilled me too much. I've been skipping it for YEARS already before they decided to put Captain EO back in.

I love Captain EO. Does it hold up? In a retro sort of way, yes: it's quintessentially '80s! My oldest son (born in 1985) used to cover his ears because it was so loud. He went back after it reopened and loved it: he's into '80s stuff. My other son, not into the '80s, hates it. I consider it a "don't miss."

You will probably get mixed reviews about Captain EO, but if you remember seeing it as a kid I think you will still get a kick out of it. In comparison to the high-tech effects of recent years, it does look dated, but I enjoy it for the nostalgia factor.

I was excited for my kids to see it last year (13,11) as I remembered it being great as a kid. My kids were LESS than impressed. Im sure others may disagree but I thought the effects were less than stellar and the story itself is pretty lame. Maybe just the fact the last time I saw it it was the best 3D I had ever seen. I guess we all get kinda jaded as we get older.

It's dated and lame. A short engagement would have been fine. It's worn out its welcome and looks kind of silly now.

I'm glad I saw it. My DD 15 was underwhelmed. The special effects look dated compared to what they can do today.

I guess it mainly depends on your impression of Michael Jackson. I mean he isnt going to win any academy awards for his performance here, but I rather enjoyed it because I was always a big fan of his music.
I am addicted!

It is dated and cheesy. But, if you remember it fondly, I think you will enjoy the revisit. I wouldn't rate it as "can't miss" but I didn't mind taking the time for it, either.

Thanks everyone! I kind of figured it would seem very dated. But, yeah, I'll definitely check it out when we're there!

We had to leave about half way through because mom and I got the giggles. Once we start, we can't stop. It was just about the cheesiest thing I have seen in years. The non 3D effects were really hard to look at and holy moly was it loud. I think it's time for something new...

Agreed! This seems like a fairly easy upgrade to me. The theater is there...just make a new movie.

I liked it in a retro sort of way. It is wierd. But...it is still infinitely better than Sounds Dangerous. 
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

Anything is better than HISTA! It is kinda cool in a retro way but I do hope they are planning for something new soon. A couple of years is enough of a re-run.

I had not seen it previous to this recent run, and I am a pretty big MJ fan, but DH and I left the theater looking like this

I really thought it would be fun seeing it again, but if I could have walked out without disturbing anyone I would have.
For me, it's a "can't miss"; it's soooo much better than HIStA. Took my wife to see it for the first time when it came back; she was like, "Ehh." :P Of course, she never got to see it the first time around, neither.
