Saw it. Enjoyed the movie. The 3D was good (I haven't been a 3D fan in the past).
The seats in the AMC Independence IMAX suck. It felt like sitting on a squatty potty (the seats were low) with a rigidly and uncomfortably upright back. Would not go there again. |

It wasn't bad but it was different from the book in a lot of ways. Both my wife and I read and enjoyed the book (though it wasn't without it's own flaws, especially early on). We had the theater to ourselves when we saw it, so we did a lot of conversing about the differences.
That probably hindered the experience. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't read the book. |

Just got around to seeing this. Was better than I expected. I had read the book and had no idea how they were going to make it work in a two hour movie, but they did a pretty good job of it. Loved the Kubrick scene, I grinned the entire time. I think I'd have to see it like five times to pick up all the nostalgia bombs dropped throughout it.

I appreciated the nod towards Excalibur of all movies, too.

Turns out AMC just opened a renovated theater in Wichita, complete with leather recliners. Took my son to see Ready Player One, and we both really enjoyed the movie and have both read the book.

$391 million globally in 11 days of release. Looks like Spielberg still has the popcorn movie touch.

Felt a little silly being in the theater for this. Definitely a movie for pre-teens.

Do me!! What did you call 'electronics are for adults' kids. Right there in the 80s with all its distractions, and splitting my time between bicycles, creeks and soccer balls during daylight, and at the library or on the couch with a book at night.
On the 'more engaged with society' side, we did go to the movies pretty darned regular, often the Crest Drive-In, so we got three movies at a go. But I've never really had much of anything in terms of video games, remote control stuff, action figures, cartoon character toys, etc. More books, sports equipment, BMX stuff, Skateboard stuff, Tonka Trucks, Hot Wheels, etc. Last edited by Baby Lee; 04-09-2018 at 02:51 AM.. |
