B: LOG 9
Mission: Impossible 3... It sure felt good to be all excited about going to see a movie again. It was great sitting in a fairly packed theatre on a Friday afternoon with a bunch of other people just as excited as I was.
For someone that enjoys the movie theatre experience, I highly recommend going to movies on the opening weekends - you have to get there early to get good seats, and you have to deal with lots of people, but those are the showings that movie fans go to - people genuinely excited about the experience of the film. That makes for a great crowd.
The film itself meet my expectations. The M:I franchise has never really been one of my favorites. To me it's essentially action pornography - implausible, unrealistic and contrived - but fun to watch and it sure as heck gets you in the mood to "action" something. I most definitely found myself thumping the theme song in my head as I walked to the sky train after, just waiting to have to dive out of the way of some horrible traffic accident or having to chasse after some purse snatcher for like 10 blocks...
I think that feeling was definitely parlayed by the realization 1/2 way through the film that I had my glasses in my backpack and that I wasn't wearing them - stupid me - the movie was so much crisper and so much more wonderfully shot than I had thought. That's the lesson that has been burned into my head now - never, ever, watch a film without my glasses again.
Some review eh? Just go see the movie. Put aside your Tom Cruise uneasiness, the man still does what he does best in M:I 3 - there is no scientology, no Katie Holms and no gay rumors, there's just Ethan trying his damndest to get Owen, that's it. It's worth 10 bucks to see it in a theatre with 200 other people all gasping at the same time.
