Monsters VS Aliens
Apr0
Last night I saw my first 3D movie. I’m not sure how many movies firsts I can pin down like that. I have no idea what film I saw first was, at home or in the cinema. I can’t remember what my first film in Manchester was either. But this was the first time I’d worn special glasses to see a moving image that had a narrative device. At uni i’d seen them demonstrate 3D using glasses that had a special synchronised poloraity flickr, a bit more complex than the one’s we wore last night but probably no more effective. And in addition the movie was at the IMAX, I was probably grinning for the first 20 mins and would have regardless of what was on screen.
So then we come to the film itself. It was one in the style of Toy Story – kids movie but with knowing nods to the Adults watching and watchable it was. It was amusing and had interesting characters and interesting ‘spot the reference’ nudges.
So yeah if there’s a film coming out and it’s in 3D go for the experience. I’m not sure how many places are doing it yet but the IMAX in Manchester certainly is and it’s going to be a big summer in the IMAX I think.
