...and here's another one

I'm back to making multiple posts a day! woohoo! And... surprise, surprise! it's another review! All this free time can be so exhilarating! ...a bit of sarcasm there.

The last movie I saw was... Hairy Putter and the Order of the PHEW-nix.I didn't really want to watch it because:

1) I slept through the past four movies, especially part 3 which was really really really really boring--- or maybe that was part 2. Anyway, i didn't sleep much during part four, maybe because there was much more happening, or maybe the fact that someone died in a Harry Potter movie made it exciting. I guess that makes it the best in the series in my opinion.

2) I simply refuse to take part in the whole Harry Potter Mania. Maybe because i never found it interesting. I'm not one of those many people who got into the whole harry potter craze not because they really liked it, but because everyone else seemed to liked it. I watched the past four movies not because I wanted to, but because my friends wanted to, and they asked me to watch it with them. Peer pressure, as some might call it.

3) I was saving up for something and I didn't want to waste my money. And based on the above mentioned reasons, watching another one of those movies, FOR THE FIFTH TIME, is clearly a waste of hard earned money.

... but during the blur of the past month, watching movies was still a luxury for a first year resident in surgery. And that was one of the days when I was able to come home early, not on the usual ungodly hours... and when I went to the mall with my family, we passed by the cinemas and there was absolutely nothing showing that piqued my interest--- except for transformers, but I saw that already (and it was phenomenal!). We passed by the IMAX theater. I've always wanted to watch a movie in an IMAX theater, but I never had the chance to watch one when my schedule permitted it. And with my schedule then, it would probably take 5 years before I get to watch a movie in an IMAX theater, and by then there would probably better theatres than an IMAX one... The film showing was Harry Potter. Yeesh. What the heck, that was the chance to watch an IMAX movie, so I did.

How did I find the movie? I still found it boring. Plus our proximity to the screen made me dizzy... I felt dizzy as I entered the theatre, actually, because of it's weird architectural design, probably to convey the feeling of being in 3D... but that has nothing to do with the movie, right? Maybe it takes a certain type of person to appreciate these movies. I am biased since I never liked the whole mythos, so I can enumerate a ton of faults. Unlike the previous installment, not one scene has piqued my interest. The 3D scenes seemed to be added at the last minute. To keep things short--- I had more fun watching those 3D IMAX trailers before the movie started than the movie itself.

My money didn't really go to waste... those 3D trailers were really--- trippy. lol. I was so amused by the novelty of it all. hehe. I'm definitely watching another IMAX movie in the future--- some movie I'm interested in, so I'll have my money's worth. :)
