This afternoon went with ML to Sunway Pyramid to watch the movie. It was only 11:40AM when we arrived. The first show was at 12:30PM. Thought we had time for a leisure lunch before the movie. Was shocked to see hundreds of people queuing up for tickets. Today is Wednesday, a working day. Shouldn’t all these people be working or be somewhere else. Would have given up had I not promised ML to take her to the movie. We waited 45 long minutes in the queue. By the time we reached the ticket counter it was already 12:30PM. Thankfully, there were still a few front row tickets left for the 12:30 screening. There was no time for lunch, so we grabbed a bucket of popcorn and soda and headed straight for the cinema.
Well, all the effort and waiting was worth it. The science fiction movie with 3-D, ground breaking high tech special effects coupled with the fantastic sound system was simply awesome and mind boggling. The scenery was breath taking and everything including the strange creatures and plants down to the last minute details were so realistic. During one of the scene, a canister came flying right at my face and I involuntarily and physically try to dodge it. The film was 160 minutes long but being so fully engrossed you won’t realise its length. This is definitely the best movie of the year and it has to be seen in a cinema equipped to show it in its full 3-D glory. The USD500 million effects will be lost if seen in an ordinary cinema. Other movies would not make a difference when view formed a pirated DVD in the comfort of your home.
