I don't know why this movie gets such a bad rap from the critics. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I don't think my brow is any lower than the next guy's. Slower paced than some, but sometimes that is appropriate. Very nice 3D. A friend saw this on TV, liked and recommended it. A thumb in the eye to those critics.
Had a great time with this thing. The visuals were tremendous, the 3D enhanced them, and the actors all played it with a light touch. Actually thought I heard the theme from "Lawrence of Arabia" playing as they trekked through the desert! Taken with the right spirit, this is an enjoyable movie. Critics be damned.
Just watched the Final Cut, and transfer and sound was terrific. I hadn't seen any cut of this in decades, and am not a student of the various versions. Probably will not screen any of the others, frankly, with so much else out there to watch, but it's nice to have 'em, just in case, for the price of it. The Final Cut was wonderful, however. Just a heads-up: the disc defaults to Dolby Digital, so you have to dig a little to get to the TrueHD lossless track.
KitchenAid 2-Slice Toaster: Whether it's breads, bagels or pastries for breakfast, this extra-wide slot toaster is up to the challenge. Interior racks automatically adjust to ensure even browning. When bagel mode is selected, one side powers down so you get a bagel that has the perfect crunch.
Wonderful film, transfer, packaging, and 3D resolution. Just top-notch all the way around. I have seen a lot of 3D films on my system, but this is one of the few that made me gasp and laugh in places, the depth was so surprisingly effective. Way, way good.
This thing is wildly good -- completely off-the-wall in its premise, but also consistent in its internal logic, with great visuals and absolutely serpentine plot twists. And Emily Blunt ........ Yow! I was glued to the screen, slack-jawed.
