What are you watching?

Whilst I've been in Wales I've missed loads of quite rare screenings of films I've been waiting to see in the cinema. I need my city of independent cinemas back!

I saw Fury Road in the cinema several times. First time was release day, and the last time was for the Black + Chrome edition they did. It's such a good film. Furiosa kind of disappointed me upon first watching it but I do think there's a lot of good in there and I was desperate to see it in cinema again before it left just to give it another go and because I was so perturbed by how much it was flopping at the box office. I didn't manage to make it but I'm glad to have at least rallied a group to go see it on its release.

I had a not great time with Furiosa but also felt like giving it another go before it left theatres but couldn't. One of the things I like about Fury Road most is the significance of the practical effects, Furiosa felt like the use of a green screen and CG was just too obvious in places which was a shame. Completely understand why it was the case here but it was still disappointing. But there were a lot of scenes that I liked, especially that great opening. It was also unlucky that I couldn't see it at my preferred cinema and had to go to another where the screen wasn't nearly as good, the seats were dirty and the sound was way too low so I felt I owed the movie another chance. I'll get around to rewatching it soon.
