This excellent family movie is ideal for the massive screen of Bradford's IMAX cinema.

It makes creatures like the troll, ogre and goblins even scarier than normal.

And the jump-out-of-your-skin moments are very effective on a five-storey-high screen.

Thankfully this adaptation of a best-selling American children's book offers more than spectacle.

The film has a decent story, sparky characters and a strong emotional foundation.

Three children, affected by their mum and dad's break-up, move into their great-uncle's spooky old mansion.

They find a book in which Uncle Arthur wrote about creatures like fairies and goblins in the surrounding woods.

It's all true, and monster-in-chief Mulgarath stop at nothing to possess the the book and its power.

Chases, swordfights, magic spells, comedy and an exciting final showdown make this a better-than-average fantasy film.
