3D like it was meant to be


3D like it was meant to be
The weather was supposed to be rainy today so yesterday I booked a ticket to see the "Ghost in the Shell" movie in an IMAX 3D setting. It didn't rain, at all, but I was darn glad I took my rain coat along as I wore it during the entire play. That freaking air conditioning might have gotten me a cold while in my last days in the tropics.

After Tokyo or Hong Kong, where parts of the movie was shot, I could not think of any other better place than Singapore to see this movie. The flyover scenes at night between and from above the skycrapers are fantastic.

In comparison to my previous moviegoer 3D exposure, IMAX got it better so that the glasses do not take too much from the images away; the contrast and colors are still good. My best homage is probably that I could finally forget about those glasses and about 3d and focus on the film.

As for the movie, it is what one would expect in this day and age for a science-fiction movie built for an international audience. A story meant not to give anyone a headache and one of the vilain who ends up dying as a hero.
