I saw this in Milton Keynes. On arrival, we were warned that the film may start (and so end) late if they could show it at all, as they were having problems with the projector. There were two security type people at the door of the cinema, and I expected to be searched, but they only asked that phones were switched off or put on silent.
As it happened, the film started on time, but we did not have any of the trailers as asked about in the Tellten questionnaire. I missed my London film friends, but met up with Chris525 who is doing a tour of cinemas in the South East. Was anyone else from FMUK there?
Our screening was about 80% full and I was not aware of them checking for people recording during the film. There were a lot of young children in the audience, and I was surprised at how good they were.
I like watching street dancing, but do not have any technical understanding. I could not work out why one person or group was according to the story better than the other when I felt that the exact opposite was true.
The 3D effects were really weird. In fact at time they were quite macabre - the elongated limbs and neck stretching towards the audience was grotesque. Perhaps they were experimenting with 3D effects for the next 3D horror film - have there been any yet?
Overall, I thought that the start of the film was quite good and so was the end – it was the section in the middle that was the problem. The story line was not strong enough to hold the dance sequences together and as a result, the whole film suffered.
