• `BOLT' REALLY SPRINGS TO LIFE IN 3D VERSION
Theaters generally charge an extra dollar or so for 3D presentations, and in the case of ``Bolt,'' the higher ticket price is well worth paying. In 3D, you can really appreciate the craftsmanship of the animation team and its splendid use of perspective. Instead of employing 3D for in-your-face gimmicks (the way ``Journey to the Center of the Earth'' does, for example), ``Bolt'' utilizes the technology to present crystal-clear, perfectly defined images that literally give the movie an extra dimension: You can sense the space inside the plastic ball Rhino travels around in, and the various textures in the streets and fields the characters wander through. Plus, you get the thrill of being plunged into the complex chases and wild action sequences from Bolt's TV show.
