I've watched it twice in IMAX. Totally worth the ticket price I paid.Flora wrote:I just saw "Inception" for the second time in theaters! Has anyone else seen it yet? It's one of the craziest movies I've ever watched, but I adored it--Leo DiCaprio sure has come a long way from his Titanic days!
You've inspired me to look these up! After the Michael Bay overload of these last few years, real movie effects sound like a welcome relief.TEB wrote:Does anyone in my age group, early 50's remember a tv show called The Thunderbirds? I just watched the 2 theatrical movies that the Andersons made from that show, Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6. While they are a little dated nowadays, the special effects still stand the test of time. Especially the crash scenes in both of them. This was in the days before every filmmaker used computer generated effects. The effects in The Thunderbirds were all done with models, even the explosions. The best effects are still done with models. You can tell a computer effect a mile away.

Phlibera, thanks for the interesting fact about Tom Cruise! I want to see Salt sometime next week. My city's got some really cool billboards up to advertise it.
I saw Inception this afternoon and is was amazing! Leo DiCaprio did an incredible job, as did the rest of the actors. It's not really the type of movie I would usually see in theaters, but I am so glad I did! Now to see Charlie St. Cloud...phlibera wrote:I've watched it twice in IMAX.

I've also watched Salt last week. The female Jason Bourne is born. They said the script was originally written for Tom Cruise. I think rewriting it for Angelina Jolie made it better.
And I actually watched the Thunderbirds as a kid, and I'm only 30! 
I also went to see it twice in the theatres when it came out (I was fourteen at the time)phlibera wrote:Speaking of "The Lion King", watching it in the cinemas with all my schoolmates (freshmen to seniors all 1300 of us) back in 1994 was an entirely different experience. The school booked a 3-screen cineplex and one morning we just walk, double pile, from our school to the theater, which was about 3 blocks away. It was the only event like it in our school during my time there and it was fun. We had fun. The movie itself of course was beautiful. Loved it so much that the weekend after that, some of my friends and I went to see it again. It was a wonderful movie, my absolute favorite among hand-drawn animated films to this day. And considering they don't do much hand-drawn animated films anymore, will probably be my favorite for life.
And it is my favourite animation motion picture of all time too.
