Up!

We went off to see Up in 3D today. What a lovely movie! It had fun adventure stuff for the kids, but for adults, it was really moving (though not in a soppy way) and thought-provoking. The characters were well-done, and unusually in kids' movies, there were no unfunny fart or bodily function jokes. Music was beautiful - the theme was really good, and it was neatly used in a number of ways.

Very highly rated...

I normally dislike animated movies, but thought this one was great too.
Did you go to Sandton City?
I went there on Saturday to watch it and the 3D thing was backwards - when wearing the glasses normally I got a headache. The background 3D detail was blurry and trying to jump out. Flipping the glasses upside down sorted the issue out though. I presume that the image that was supposed to go to the left eye was going to the right eye and vice versa. Very annoying and something I had only previously experienced at Montecasino.
Cinema technicians in this country are really really untrained, it is unusual that I go to a movie where everything is working as intended. Often the sound is so loud that the aging speakers struggle.

Yeah, Sandton City; we didn't have any issues. I've had issues often at Montecasino though, ranging from speakers packing up (Harry Potter midnight show) to focus to sound issues.
