Viewing Notes

AMAZING!! Third film for me at the 70mm Film Festival and simply amazing.

I won’t go into the long winded story about how I failed to buy a ticket online and showed up to a soldout event only to be placed on the waitlist. It was harrowing in a cinefile sense b/c I really thought I wasn’t going to make into this final screening. So glad I got in b/c this film is just so beautiful on the big screen.

I can’t in good faith call this a rewatch since I haven’t seen it since I was kid and remember so little of it. Somehow mixed up the Dawn of Man opening thinking it was somewhere in the middle of the film. It has always terrified me. Now having seen this completely it’s so apparent how many films cribbed from this movie.

During the viewing I had flashbacks to Beyond the Black Rainbow, Moon, Star Wars, Alien and other films. Way more humorous than I remembered as well but it’s likely I wouldn’t have picked up on those comedy beats as a kid.

Honestly this was like a dream to see on the big screen in 70mm w/a very respective crowd. Glad Pat made it out. Def an experience I won’t forget. Now I can finally watch 2010!
