They spent alot of the middle section of the movie cutting away to Charlie Days nerd character. I could have used less of him and 1 or 2 more Monsters Vs. Robot fights.

Always welcome to see Ron Perlman on screen. I almost wished there would have been a scene with him and Hunman though.

Yeah, there was a bit much with him and Burn Gorman.

I'll pony up for the IMAX 3D from time to time when it's warranted, and I think this movie is one that fits that consideration! Plus, the Navy Pier IMAX is a true IMAX and totally awesome!

I first saw Avatar there and then saw it again in KC at one of AMC's IMAX with my parents when back home visiting, and the difference was astounding. I was so annoyed with the dropoff in presentation quality that I wanted to leave the theatre. I would have if I wasn't with family, which they had not seen the movie yet.

Yea, AMC have alot of "LiMax" theaters. They are still pretty nice...slightly bigger screen and good sound......but it isn't true IMAX.

Yeah, even with the sound levels, I'm still considering seeing this one again in IMAX. Haven't seen the same movie in a theater twice since I was a kid.

Maybe I was the only one that liked Charlie Day? Actually think he and Perlman could have built up some good chemistry. Wonder if Charlie will give him back his shoe?

Might be just me, but in once seen things moved so fast I'm not sure if I saw what I think I saw...

Spoiler!

The sheer scale of this movie is massive. If you can see it in IMAX 3D, you should. And I usually hate 3D.

The story isn't going to reinvent the wheel... but it's not 2 solid hours of Bayplosions either. Seemed like a lot of people thought this would be Godzilla + Transformers... but I almost think it's more Top Gun + Independence Day. Not sure how the experience will transfer to a DVD at home but at the theater it was fun to watch.

Perfect way to describe it, IMO. I saw it a little earlier tonight and it was a goddamn blast to watch. I had a huge shit-eating grin walking out of the theater. Even with all the incredibly silly moments, this was an extremely satisfying movie.

The LiMax theaters blow. I will give them props for their Cinema Suites and Fork & Knife setups. Truly a great way to lounge while watching a flick on the bigscreen. Wish they had them available at more locations like they offer at Olathe Studio 30.

I have wondered if now that their headquarters is right next to the Town Center if they will use it as a location to try out their state of the art or test new setups of theatres?

Is this better than Atlantic Rim?

Yeah, I saw that a while back.

I believe unlurking said he saw it in IMAX. The IMAX sound levels are notoriously loud but it's mostly low end stuff (sub bass) and doesn't hurt the ears unless there's an issue with the system. Having said that, we got complaints with "MoS" so ran it at -3 dB, and are doing the same with "Rim". Even IMAX said it was okay to do with "Rim" because of the loud mix. So perhaps the theater he saw it in didn't make any adjustments.

When Day's character drifted the first time, did it look at all like the aliens were riding the kaiju the way the humans ride the jaegers? I thought I saw a scene with aliens climbing into a kaiju, but it was so fast I couldn't be sure. __________________
