Actually, I thought that scene was by some distance the film's most technically impressive. It looks as though it was shot in one continuous take, in a way that would have been impossible to achieve in a live-action film. And because of the lack of cutting, the 3-D process really comes into its own, as Spielberg stages multiple action sequences on multiple planes, complete with falcon swooping in and out of the frame, in a way that almost completely converted a 3-D sceptic like me.
Spielberg has always known exactly where to put the camera, even when it's moving rapidly at the time - and this sequence confirms that his spatial sense is pretty much perfectly attuned to 3-D as well.
