Shrek 4-D breaks the mold for 4-D theater shows by employing vivid characters, compelling visuals, a rousing plot and surprising effects. Plus, the film advances the "Shrek" story, rather than merely rehashing it, as theme park attractions based on movies typically do.

Shrek, Fiona and Donkey battle the ghost of Farquaad as he pursues Fiona on her way to her honeymoon. Along the way, the film offers more of the original's humor, coupled with an homage to "Star Tours" and the requisite parting shot at Disney. A must-see attraction at Universal.

Gotta love shrek! :) - N O

Good effects. If you see it more than twice its really boring - nick .

I'm a Shrek fan so I expect laughs and hi-jinks. I was not disappointed in this 4-D simulator show. Although it takes place between Shrek 1 and 2, it retains the comedy and adventure of the Shrek movies. My only complaint is that they should update it to reflect up to Shrek 3 or offer different shows with different storylines or with a new storyline between Shrek 2 and 3. - Danilo Francisco

A great show! The pre-show is very funny and the movie itself is very entertaining - Erik Avila

A lot of fun, I love the moving chair effect, but wish it was used more, even if that meant including seat belts. - Jacob Sundstrom

One of the better 3-D attractions in theme parks. The show's story happens immediately after the first movie ended, so if your one of the few people who haven't seen the original Shrek than you will have no idea of whats going on. The film itself is well done and the image quality is the best I've seen on a 3-D show. The in-theatre effects were neat especially the moving seats. This is a must see show. This attraction runs continuos shows and you will rarely wait more than 15 minutes before you are admitted to the preshow area. - Manny Barron
