Seeing as i'm stuck on the M11 as a bored passenger, may as well do a belated report

BFI London IMAX
500 seater sell out
Trailers
Puss in Boots - Some laughs, especially when he's chasing the light. Strange trailer to have as it's been out for a few weeks now.
Star Wars Episode I - A lot of chattering, hearing THAT music out of THOSE speakers is bloody mesmerising.
John Carter - Seemed fairly quiet, i'm sold.
These were followed by....
The Dark Knight Rises Prologue
I thought it was awesome, as did my friend. The rest of the crowd seemed pleased as it got a round of applause at the end of it.
Movie
I thought it was awesome. Considering that this is the first Mission Impossible movie i've seen all the way through, I had no problem keeping up. The action was awesome as to be expected, and the scenes on the Burj Khalifa were absolutely incredible, real heart in mouth stuff. Gave me bloody vertigo.
The cast were great, Pegg was great for comic relief, the woman was hot and Renner did the job. But Cruise. He's back, he is BACK! Pure awesome from him. Start to finish.
Have to admit, my only problem with the film was the villain being a bit underdeveloped, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to seeing Mikael Nyqvist's first blockbuster (I loved him as Blomqvist in the swedish dragon tattoo).
Overall though, an awesome action movie to send the year out on, and an incredible experience in IMAX.
A
The crowd again seemed pleased with the movie as it also got a round of applause at the end, and there were more than a few kind words on the way down the stairs afterwards. This will at least have a damn good run in IMAX.
