On the eve of setting out to see James Cameron's new blockbuster, my wife and I suddenly came to the same decision: not to bother. And that given its IMAX/3D format and its $300 million pricetag. Or perhaps indeed, because of that. What I want to see on IMAX is something non fiction like tornadoes or the ascent of Everest, and what I want to see in 3D is.. pretty much nothing at all. It's an overrated format that might have been fun when that version of "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" came out in the 1950s, but is a bit tired and passe now. And as for the pricetag- well, it's somehow a little obscene. That sum represents considerably more than what it cost to make every picture Fellini ever made. And then some.
So we'll go and see "An Education" instead, though now I find it's been taken off the mainstream cinemas here after a very short run.
OK, we'll watch our latest LoveFilm offering instead- "Coalminer's Daughter"
