This is a very good film, the running time is not an issue at all. It is shot beautifully and looks and sounds amazing throughout. I wonder with the amount of story involved that it wouldn't just be a series. Which leads me to my one criticism of Capter1. At times it was confusing and i think because of the way they jumped from family to family and character to character without enough back story. And with 3 hours i wish they would of....i look forward to Chapter 2 (and 3&4) and i plan on watching in the Theater for sure.
