In an effort to clean up some of the permanent topics in here, this thread staple since the early days of *that other box office site* is being downgraded to a regular one. Feel free to bump if you'd like to post your crowd reports in the future, but it will no longer be pinned.

Maleficent

7:30 PM 20% Full

 

Jupiter Ascending (No Response)

Book of Life (few laughs)

Big Hero Six (lots of laughs)

Annie ( few laughs)

Paddington (No Response)

Transformers( No Respose)

Cinderella Teaser

 

Movie: Gorgeous film, Special effects are beautiful but the story is at the level of See Spot Run, feel like the move was made for Shiloh's age group or under only. Funny only saw one kid at my showing. Grade D-

 

P.S. The crowd was strangely quiet at the end, heard no comments about the movie, just one about how happy she was to get out of the cold theater.

X-Men: DOFP - Cinemark in Plano, Tx

 

XD/3D showing

 

Trailers:

Edge of Tomorrow -  This was a great trailer in 3d.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - Another good trailer.

 

Movie - This was great in 3d on the huge XD screen. The story and the characters were very good. Quicksilver was awesome! It may have passed X2 as my favorite X-Men movie. This was a great trip to the movies!

Edge of Tomorrow in IMAX-3D

 

8:00PM Thursday, June 5th

Jordan's Furniture IMAX Natick

Theater Capacity: 250 (50% full; heavily male-leaning audience of all ages)

Ticket Price: $14.25

Concessions: n/a

 

TRAILERS:

 

Interstellar - Wow. On the proper IMAX screen, this feels amazing! Complete silence across audience.

Guardians of the Galaxy - some laughter throughout trailer, looks beautiful in IMAX 3D; silence at end, though.

Transformers: Age of Extinction - new trailer, and these keep getting better and better. Seriously, though, in this theater you feel everything you hear, and this trailer alone was worth the experience of going to the theater tonight. I've got high hopes for Transformers 4.

 

THE FILM:

 

Edge of Tomorrow was FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! I don't just mean good for a Tom Cruise film or great as far as action movies go. I mean District 9, high octane, freaking genius INCREDIBLE! Every single critic has outlined the Groundhog Day tactic this movie employs, which in essence is our protagonist reliving the same day over, and over, and over again. What they're not bold enough to admit is that Edge of Tomorrow does it better... much better.

 

Usually I reserve the second paragraph of my crowd reports to discuss how the acting and/or effects were on screen, and although those features in this movie were excellent, I cannot stop gushing about how fantastic this story was. From beginning to end, Edge of Tomorrow moves at a breakneck, action-packed pace while simultaneously unfolding a complex idea, and adds so much legitimacy and purpose to the narrative that within no time you're literally sitting on the edge of your seat cheering on the characters to win their war. It echoes WWII films in a way no contemporary war film has succeeded to; it employs elements from the monomyth (AKA The Hero's Journey) so subtly most would never think to make the positive connection; and the understated love story somehow remains ever-present, which is baffling because Emily Blunt's character's memory of Tom Cruise's character is wiped clean every time they interact with each other. 

 

The score was awesome. The 3D effects in IMAX were incredibly immersive. The humor was unexpected, surprising, and clever. The annoyances one would expect from the repetition in the story just aren't there... this is no Source Code (***I see now the flaws in that film). I love that this film has its Ned Ryerson character in Bill Paxton... perfect casting! The direction ruled! The crowd liked it, said positive things at the end. A couple people clapped.

 

I've gone to the movies 20 times so far this year and this was probably my favorite film I've seen. So watch it!

 

Experience - 29/30

Story/Writing - 20/20

Acting - 14/15

Tech Specs (Editing, Effects, Cinematography) - 15/15

Direction - 10/10

Music - 10/10

 

THE VERDICT: 98/100, A+

My goodness. I haven't read one of your crowd reports in forever. I don't think I've even been in this thread for over a year or more.

 

Great report as always Andy.
