Yikes! Might wait for the DVD…
At least that WON’T be in 3D and you can go to the loo whenever you want 🙂
I read the book a long time ago. Now I feel that I should read the book again before I go to the movie, which can wait.
The plot’s much the same but not much else (most characterisation and symbolism abandoned) and because it’s a short novel the 2 hours and 23 minutes drag by with filler after filler. The 3D is totally Mr Carmichael’s fault and made the experience somewhat debilitating for yours truly in the motion sickness department.
I think I’ll wait for the DVD then too. I am not good with 3D at all. Thanks for the review. 🙂 *hugs*
Oh there is a non sick making version that Mr C chose not to book 😦 but overall I don’t think this is up to BL’s normal standards.
You should have been sick all over Mr C. I bet that would make him remember. LOL! Well, good to know then and thanks again Mrs. C. 🙂
Phew- was going to see it tomorrow- thanks for saving us $34.00(US)!
Gosh now I feel guilty – you might like it, arrgh. Wait for some more reviews.
No-we were going under duress, now we have an out “We read it on the internet!”
🙂
Wow, you really trashed this movie without saying a word!! Haha, only you, mrs. carmichael, would have the ability to do this! I love it!!! I don’t see what all the infatuation is with 3D movies. I really don’t enjoy them at all. It seems like all the movies coming out these days are 3D. And what’s the point?
That, I promise, was my first and last. I was mistakenly trying to be nice to Mr C. I paid a high price, quite literally.
Oh no! Simultaneous to notice of this post was an invitation to a charity ‘premiere’ screening of this flick in Mastervegas, an event I feel some obligation to attend. Or at least pay for …
Please tell me the MV ‘premiere’ does not stretch to 3D?
That good, eh?
What I suspected. (But, heresy of heresies, I think the novel itself is not much more than okay.)
Shhhh, that’s a secret, isn’t it? Because I’ve ‘studied’ it with so many students I like it more than I did on my first casual read but equally for some that would only make it worse.
The movie would make an alcoholic thirsty!
I’ve never seen a 3D movie and have no particular interest in them (I get motion sick!). I love this review – very clever indeed 😀
Me too. I’m always the sole person on the deck of a rain swept ferry but I guess you might be with me 🙂
Toby McGuire’s dazed and confused look just made me tired!!!
yes, dazed and confused in, in your face, 3D is not a great look I agree.
3D – a perfect example of ‘just because you CAN do soemthing, doesn’t always mean you should…’ I loved this book and had already decided to steer clear of the film. Thank you for the reinforcement!!
My pleasure! I’m off to Sadlers Wells on Thursday eve to see Northern Ballet’s take on it. Has to be better.
Northern Ballet are brilliant – you should have a fantastic evening!
I just read an email from my daughter saying how fantastic it was, and that we absolutely must see it. I’m not a great fan of cinemas though, as I can’t stand the smell and crackle of popcorn. I’ll wait for the dvd rather. 🙂
Your daughter may be right. Mr Carmichael enjoyed it and has spent the last 2 days telling me why it was great. so……. Popcorn, I hate too.
3D was all the rage in the 70s (well, it was in South Africa, where I grew up). I said never again after being traumatised by the fleshy part of the severed arm in Jaws III.
ahhh Jaws 3. I must admit I’ve just seen Gravity and it’s rather good!
