| - I was wound up like a little girl all day waiting and waiting to go to our 8:20pm showing of Polar Express in 3D at the IMAX. I had seen the movie when it came out and loved it. I'm pretty much a sucker for anything Tom Hanks does. I knew it was a great movie, but I was on pins and needles waiting to see it with my hubby. It was his first time to see the magic of the movie or a one in 3D at an IMAX.
The magic was washed away as soon as I stepped into the holding area to the theatre. It was a dreary, depressing, uncomfortable place to wait until the theatre doors were ready. I saw that there was popcorn, MY FAVORITE PART OF A MOVIE, but it I wasn't hit with the scent of seduction when I walked in. To me, that means old, cold popcorn. Grrr.
After our tickets were taken, we made our way through the filthy hall to our seats. Oh yeah- they are assigned. What's up with that? Luckily, there weren't many people so we sat where we wanted without a problem. The seats were stained with God knows what, arm rests were broken, seats were broken. It was disgusting. I have been in multiple IMAX theaters in Florida and they have all been pristine! Where, exactly, is my $15.00 going?
The sound is amazing, the screen is awesome and 3D is incredible. That's the only thing they've got going for them.
After I left, I was thrilled with the movie but I felt like I needed to have a lice screening.
