Yes I agree. 2D is fine and better able to absorb the story.
Good for you for yelling at the teens. I dont because sometimes you get a psycho wanting to make a name for himself.. and they usually only do it in groups. But all of that is putting me off cinemas, especially with the home quality at hand. Ive got a big new TV and a blu ray.

$19 wow. I saw it in 2d too – but I get a concession so its only $12.50 for me. Interesting point about him being demoted to make him act like a 22 year old. Can't handle numbskulls. A few times back some teenage girls started making what they thought were witty comments about five rows back, I turned and yelled at them to shut-up which they did. But why weren't those next to them telling them to shut up? On 2D versus 3D, nowdays if I see a film is in both formats, I will go and see the 2D and avoid the inconvience of the glasses because I think 3D only distracts me from getting involved in the story.

So you managed to convince me Graham, especially the comment about supporting films that are non sequel/remake based, so I went.

You're right, its pretty good. I enjoyed it. Fairly original, though almost a mix of Groundhog Day, Aliens and Matrix Revolutions.

Haven't read the book but got the feeling that the whole demotion idea was so that we could see Tom Cruise in the role of a 22 year old. I wonder how much longer he can do these roles. Its beginning to get ridiculous.

But cheers. I enjoyed it.
For the record, it was 2D and still cost $19 bucks. I'm seriously thinking of not going to multiplexes anymore, except for maybe the Palace cinema which has budgeted prices for members. Far too much, and there are always numskulls in suburban cinemas. (and probably Wang and the Gong too). lol

Seemed a nice place Wollongong. I went there for an interview for the creative writing course at Uni of Wollongong.

Down here it's $9.90 for a 2D movie in a state of the art digital cinema. Course everything is better in the Gong 😀

Yeah, Bill Paxton played one of his more likeable roles.

Nice one, Graham. Yes, I also enjoyed the movie a lot. The aliens were so different and fresh. I know some people have griped about the ending, but – hey – it's Hollywood! And Cruise and Blunt really played their parts very well. Plus Bill Paxton channelling Colonial Marines – who couldn't love that!

Nicely written review Graham.
I'm very tempted.
Actually I tried last week. The session I went for was in 3D and VMax – they told me it would be $27. I said, hmm, I'm actually going to pass.

Perhaps I'll try again.
I dont mind Tom Cruise. He's in one of my favourite films, Magnolia. In fact, I think its his best performance.

I don't mind Doug Liman either, but not a Blunt fan. Gotta love Noah Taylor though.
