Forget about Avatar, forget about 3D football, forget about, er... 3D Flying Monsters with Sir David Attenborough. This is what the third dimension was invented for – Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance in – in 3D! "Unprecedented access to Flatley's performance gives the viewer an unparalleled sense of the scale of the show as never seen before," says the PR puff for the new big-screen version of the must-see dancefest, produced in association with the good people of ITN. "Lord of the Dance tells a timeless story based on Irish folklore of good versus evil, and through the media of dance and music it is understood and appreciated by every culture; there is no language barrier," says Flatters. "Never before and perhaps never again will anyone be able to experience Lord of the Dance like this." Never again? Say it ain't so, Mikey, say it ain't so.
