Movie Night

"Batman Returns" opened last night.

With that in mind, K and I knew that the hype surrounding "Revenge Of The Sith" was officially over, and no one would want to go see it anymore. So I painfully plunked down $21.00 for the two of us to catch the digital showing at the AMC RiverEastStreetervilleGoogolplex.

I was blown away.

The cinematography is unbelievable. In half a second, the shots zoom from a closeup of a vulture droid trying to peck R2D2's little red and blue glass eye thingie out to a wide shot of a space battle.

The lightsaber battles are fast and furious, although I got a little sick of seeing closeups of Yoda with that little smirk on his face as he draws his weapon back.

Much as in "Attack Of The Clones," things are in constant motion. There's always things buzzing out the windows in the background. It's visually stimulating and neat.

The digital projection makes explosions look almost fake. The fire color looks too spotty in extreme closeups.

The last 45 minutes are the best 45 minutes out of any of the 6 movies. Just awesome.
