Viewing Notes

3D+ HFR (60fps). Decided against doing the 120fps bc I didn’t feel like driving 20 miles north.

I really like this movie but the HFR can take a hike. Looks like a daytime soap opera with sick action beats. And bc of that it looks cheap. I’m going to go again in a standard showing so I can appreciate it more.

Also MEW!! She needs to be in everything.

MEW does need to be in everything! I didn’t even see it in HFR but fuck HFR anyway!

I wanted to do the HFR even tho I knew I wasn’t gonna like it. Mainly wanted to see it given that’s how Ang Lee wanted it presented (and I haven’t seen any other film using HFR). It was as I expected and very distracting. It’s odd to me that any seasoned filmmaker would want their movies to look like this.

I didn’t know MEW was in the movie was it was a pleasant surprise when she appears early on then even better when she kicks ass but yeah didn’t give her much to do after that.
