"I can get behind THAT!"

The walk into town was cold.  Still better than getting the bus and feeling ill though.
We got into town about an hour before the film was due to start so we bought some food from Gregg's and ate it on the bench next to the fountain.  There was a strange man playing loud music from an ancient looking boom-box that had cassettes in it rather than 20th or 21st Century technology. 

As we finished our dinner there was still a fair while before the film but we decided to spend the rest of the time waiting in the cinema rather than out in the cold.  Good job too as there was already a queue and by the time the film started there were no seats left in the room!

The film was great and the 3D was good - there were a few occasions when I closed my eyes because it looked like something was flying straight out of the screen.  But in the end these moments were few and far between and weren't enough for me to think it was worth getting a massive headache for.  My headache was quite bad and by the end of the film I just wanted to close my eyes and put my head down.  I think the problem came from how my eyes tried to focus on the images that they were tricked into thinking were 3D but were all just on the same two dimensional plane.  The camera would dictate which parts of the film you were allowed to focus on and, just as with 2D, anything that was nearer or further away than what was being focussed on was blurry.
So all in all a very good film was slightly ruined by a technology that is becoming increasingly popular these days.  Why it's becoming so popular I'm not sure.  I agree that 3D is a lot better than it used to be but just because it's better doesn't mean it's good.
