I think that it is around 2.5 hours. I liked the movie, and the 3D was awesome. Just not sure how well it will "translate" over to Blu-Ray since the 3D part was such a huge component of liking the movie, and thus the reason that I am not sure that I will care about another 12-20 minutes added in.
I just know that with LOTR that the extended editions, to me and a bulk of the LOTR fans, are the best versions, so I am afraid of jumping in the current theatrical release just to potentially regret it later on. Then again, LOTR was a much better movie series.
