What's the average price of a movie ticket over there?
That's one of the reasons I have the patience to wait for DVD these days.
2 Adult tickets plus snacks can hit $60+ here.
Kinda puts you in a bad mood through out the feature.
It drags on and gets very unbelievable how he can survive the bear attack (its in the effing previews, that's not a spoiler).
But what I didn't like about the preview for the film is it clearly shows the main character's son being killed.
What the **** is left to discover about a film when the preview:
1. Shows that the main source of conflict from nature is the main character is mauled by a bear.
2. The other main source of conflict is between the main character and the antagonist because the antagonist kills the protagonist's son?
That's literally the entire plot of the film. Even my GF said the plot was very thin and she only watches films for mindless entertainment (she doesn't really care about most aspects of film making and film entertainment...she just watches to be entertained for 2 hours).
DeCap. delivers some good acting, of course. Movie seemed a bit boring, at times, though. Seemed like some scenes could have been 1/5 of the length they were. If I had the time, I'd recut the film. It would be about 40 minutes long. haha
Pretty sure this movie is based on a actual account of Hugh Glass even though the movie exaggerates details here and there.
Agreed with the rest of your post even though my enjoyment of the movie was unhindered by the pacing which I think the cinematography certainly helped on the front.
I really really really hoped that his son didn't really get killed...I mean, come ON, this guy has already had everything precious taken from him. And his boy was the last bit of happiness he had left on earth. I guess that's why he is motivated to get revenge...he had nothing left to live for.
Well, the cheapest theater in town I can get a matinee for $8/person. So that's not so bad, but who has time during the day? Regular tickets at night are about $11 or $12. IMAX is $18/ticket. And they also just opened a new luxury cinema here in town with fancy seats and they sell beer, $12/ticket for non-3D. $15 for 3D. And it would appear some increased prices for fancier seats. I haven't been to it yet. Seems unnecessary. I'd be afraid of falling asleep if I got too comfortable.. heh.
I just have been spending so much money with a new house and renovations and such. The new Tarantino flick and this just have come at the wrong time. It's not often that there are 2 flicks currently playing that I really want to see, heh. Ordinarily I would just fork out the $$ and go see them. But right now I might wait for the cheap theater.
I feel ya, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with waiting for a movie to show at a discount theater. I just get annoyed when people pirate every movie they watch, then they wonder why film quality has gone down in the last 10 years, and why nobody is willing to stray very far outside of the verified "success models".
Back on topic though, I loved this movie the cinematography was amazing, Leo was great despite his limited dialogue, as was Tom Hardy.
