Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler V for Vendetta

huh, I didn't know they had this in IMAX format. I did see it in the regular theater though, and liked it pretty well. They managed to finally do a good translation to screen of an Alan Moore book. It sticks fairly closely to the comic but manages to cut out the stuff that was superfluous and/or a little hokey in the book. I thought Hugo Weaving did an excellent job considering he had to emote with just his voice and body language. And Natalie portman, she's just the bee's knees.

Though now thinking back on it, wasn't her character arc very similar in The Professional? hmmm...

She's the best thing since sliced breastBREAD! Bread. yeah.

An amazing movie. Very timely with lots of political undercurrents. Can't wait for the DVD so I can watch it again.

So much for our marketing department.

Have to admit, at least here I'm not even 100% sure we still HAVE an Imax theatre.

Though I have done marketing work for the one in Calgary (at Eau Claire Market) and the Odyssium one in Edmonton... I haven't really heard anything since the first year the one at Portage Place was finished... late 80s.

Portage Place is your closest IMAX theatre.

Ah, it's still open then. Yeah it's downtown in a mall. I haven't been there since I was a 14 year old sk8r mall rat.

I'm beginning to see a pattern, here...

Yep, the last movie the wife and I saw there was Spiderman II (before the little one popped out).

We quite enjoyed the experience and I'd have to say it is one of the few theaters I will go out of my way to go to these days other than the Grant Park theater (best seats in the city) or sometimes the new "cheap theater".
