Whaaat? I pay $15.00 a seat at the local IMAX 3D theatre. A night out can be rather costly nowadays!
RE: Avatar; had similar emotions about going to see it for the first time, and a similar feeling afterwards. I like James Cameron movies, however this movie looked to me like just some aborigine knock-off that’s been done a thousand times before, however once I saw it, I was very surprised and highly impressed with the story.
Another one that blew me away was Inception. I had just saw Shutters Island and was hugely disappointed by it - I predicted the ending like 15 minutes into the movie - so I was not expecting Inception to be a good movie, and instead, it turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life! Go figure.
A few kids movies that came on Netflix watch instantly recently have also got me thinking Hollywood might be on the mend with “good” movies for once. Trying to think what they where… I’ll have to check my que and edit this post.
