The "u-tube" an such clips  are out on it now, and besides the spectacular special effects, it looks like one adrenlin-raising hairy movie!!! Just wonderng how many of you have seen them as of yet.

I'm sure Terry will get the DVD when its out Shirley - I saw the clips & it's his sort of film. We don't go to the cinema (movies) very often these days although there is one less than 1/2 mile from our house. It's the cost for 5 of us - cheaper to buy the DVD & watch it over again!

That would be a definite NO for me.

I saw the trailer on TV last night, and it was a total put off for me.

Talk about taking special effects to the extreme.

I'm not at all interested in what the world will look like when it shatters. The story does not interest me in the slightest.

I have seen an couple of clips, it looks really intensive does it not? I don't know with an heart problem if I should go. I get into these movies sometimes and they greatly influence me. It does not though surprise me something of this nature came out though. As I said, people seem to need to feed off something with adrenlin...probably no worse then some of the murder/horror shows out. Then there's Rod Sterling's  shows..The Twight Zone.  Many of them made you think about things though.

Not exactly my cuppa tea.  As I watched one clip, it occurred to me that if the whole earth were indeed coming apart at the seams, as it appeared to be doing, where in the world did those people think they would escape to?

I was in hospital once, in a room with three other women. They were all watching some drivel on the TV, a soap opera of some kind. There was a volcano erupting, destroying all in it's path, but the young couple still had time to have sex, while the lava was flowing all around them.

I thought, 'yeah! That's what I'd do if the world was coming apart'. Might as well die happy.

Hi Sue, won't be watching either, but surprised you didn't react to being called a 'Wheatleyite' in another thread! Thought you were away incidentally?

Back to the thread topic, I agree with your last comment above!! Lol

Stephanie, that is so true it's very expenisve to take an crowd of kids to the movies these days..if you buy popcorn, even on special day rates, it's gonna be in $40 range or better.Net flex rentals must be taken the movie industry by the storm.

I've not heard of it either!   but i do go the cinema when i can, there's just something different about it. I have DVD playes, blueray, fairly big high def TV, which is routed through big speakers, so it looks and sounds great ....but, still more exciting at the cinema, especially now they show 3D movies!! wow thats so cool! I saw UP the other day, thats a great kids movie!

 

Anyone been to the IMAX??  HUGE cinema, shows 3D films, really breathtaking stuff!!
