Cirque de Soleil, "Worlds Away"

About the best use of 3D i've seen yet. (Setting aside a couple of places that are really the result of bad choices of camera placement and angle).

I feel as if there's a missed cue - possibly a scene cut, after the girl speaks her only words in the film.

Loved the staging of "Get Back" as a London rooftop dance in 70s-type costume.

Some sequences did drag a bit - the vertical ninja battle was a tad long, and i was pretty hardily tired of the aquatic sequences while there was still more to come.

Kate didn't go - which is probably a Good Thing as the mall was more crowded than i have EVER seen it, which would have driver her stark staring nuts. (It was even, possibly, a bit long for me ... and i may br the closest thing to a 65-year-old mall rat you'll ever meet.)

I think Kate would love it, ditto Helen. I wouldn't take Maggie or Vellie, because there are some fairly scary sequences.

Go see it while you can still see it in 3D, big screen.

It's playing for a few days in a town two hours away from me. Plus, no monies D:

I really wanted to go see it too, and this makes me wanna even more. I guess I'll just have to wait for Blu-Ray release.

It's thirty-plus miles away from Gainesville - Mall of Georgia

Gainsville and Savannah are both too far away to justify seeing a movie that we have no money for and no money for gas either. ;_;

Oh, yeah. Been there, done that.

If it had been much further away, i wouldn't have gone - next nearest is Lawrenceville, i think.

I note that (per the crossing credits, and not listed on IMDB's "combined details" page) at least some of the shooting was done in New Zealand - certainly, i'd say, the opening shot, which (i had noticed in the trailers) features a Really Cool "level crossing ahead" warning sign:

Maybe that sign means that's where Thomas the Tank Engine lives....
