Hugo was both a marvelous story and a great use of 3D. Like you, Douglas, I felt that the 3D advanced the story and anyone who watches it in 2D because they "don't like 3D movies," is doing themselves a disservice. I still think that people are being overly conservative with 3D because they are afraid to cross the line of gimmickry, and Martin Scorsese did better than most. But in order of my 3D favorites that advanced the technology, I would have to say that Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole and How to Train Your Dragon are one and two and Hugo comes into 3rd place for me, Avatar and everything else comes in after that. But the ARRI Alexa looked great on the big screen and proves to me that just like James Cameron shooting on 1080, you do not have to have 5K to make a great looking movie.
