Harrison Ford was GOOD in the early films, which were full of whimsy and great humor and humanity. Attack of the Clones is self-indulgent crap, technology for technology's sake alone, which has no sense of storytelling, takes itself too seriously, is sterile and lifeless and humorless, and, frankly, unimaginative. When it comes to an imaginative vision of the future, I think the Fifth Element walks all over what Lucas has done lately. Oh, and is Natalie Portman a real actress?
Attack of the Clones
I haven't been to a movie theatre in quite awhile. With 30K tied up in Home Theatre equipment what's the point? Crappy picture and terrible sound I think I'll pass.
But wait! What's this in the local paper? They've just opened up a new digital theatre just thirty minutes from my house and STAR WARS II is the feature presentation. Some buddy pinch me, this can't be happening.
What to do, what to do, ARE YOU KIDDING??? I love Star wars. This is actually a no brainier.
Fast forward three minutes later. I'm on the computer printing out two tickets for the next show (Smart move) Next drive to and arrive at said theatre 1 1/2 hours early (real smart move)
The lines were just starting to form for the Sunday mourning matinee. By the time the box opened an hour later the line was clear out of the parking lot.
The doors open with twenty minutes till Showtime. Everyone is jockeying for position, but I'm no rookie, I head straight for the center of the theatre at a rapidly accelerated pace. I position myself just slightly back of dead center and perfectly centered left to right. (YOU KNOW THE SWEET SPOT!) In my opinion I was now sitting in the best seat in the house (Phase two accomplished).
The lights dim and here come the digital trailers. THE MATRIX II, AUSTIN POWERS III and MEN IN BLACK II. That in itself was nearly worth the price of admission.
The next three hours were shear ecstasy. I was in total awe. A crystal clear digital video picture with fairly decent digital sound, what a concept. All I could think was " I got to get me one of these!!"
Finally a theatre I can enjoy a movie in. This will probably be the only theatre I ever go to until a few more digital screens pop up around my hometown.
I conclude by saying check out one of these theatres at any cost, it will be well worth the time and effort invested.
That's all for now and may the Shwarts be with you!!!
