I was reminded of exactly why I'm so much into Home Theatre last night when we went to see Clash of the Titans in 3d.
For starters, forget about bothering to get there at least 30 mins prior to the start of the movie, as per their recommendation. Give yourself a little bit of time if you're going to want to get snacks, but outside of that, there's really no point.
We showed up just over half an hour before the movie started, got our tickets and snacks, and then proceeded to wait at least 20 minutes before we could go inside. I really didn't enjoy that bit.
Once we were in there, we were then treated to about 15 minutes worth of adverts. Jesus Christ on a stick! I paid $44 for two tickets, another $30 for two drinks and two popcorns, had to stand around for 20 minutes, and now I'm being sat down to watch adverts??! Where the fuck is all the money going?
The funniest part is that their setup isn't even really that good. There were some parts that I felt would be heavy on the bass, but I wasn't getting any feedback whatsoever. Maybe they should use some of that money, and import themselves a couple Seaton SubMersives.
As for the movie, it wasn't bad, wasn't great. I wouldn't pay to see it again at the movies, but I'll definitely buy the Blu-Ray when it comes out. At least then, I'll be able to watch it on the best cinema in town; my own :)
