… and just like every other post I say, “Go see this movie now.”
However, I promise I won’t put in any spoilers. It was too long by a few minutes – just enough for me to go Mystery Science Theater 3000 on it and make connections with Citizen Kane and Twilight Zone. (I really thought the kids would have pig snouts. That’s not a spoiler, is it?)
The oddest thing was that on the way out, I kept thinking, “Didn’t I just see a movie with Ellen Page in it – OR did I?” Of course, I’d just seen Whip It over the weekend. Also, this weekend I had a dream in which a set of prosthetic gums kept trying to talk to me, and the gums just kept babbling until one day I understood they were quoting classic rock lyrics, then they began quoting old movies, and then the FBI tried to kidnap them.
(There was a paragraph here. I deleted it. It would have spoiled one thing for you. Shhh.)
I don’t know that I needed to see it on the big screen, I just needed to see it so I could avoiding anything that might spoil it for me. Now I have to go back to your blogs and see what you said, because I’ve been skipping everything you wrote about it. The only one I’m sure I remember is the one at Blogography. If you wrote about it let me know in the comments.

I went to see it by myself when I was travelling, and nodded off at one point because of jetlag; but even if I hadn’t made it more disjointed by doing that, I would have struggled to follow the intricacies of the story. But I did admire the SFX, which I think would have been diminished in both senses by seeing it on a TV.
I thought it was really cool. But I didn’t blog about it (I was afraid I wouldn’t sound smart).
Big Dot – I’ve just given up on trying to follow intricate stories since The Maltese Falcon. I didn’t even notice the SFX until I had to wonder how they did the anti-gravity scenes.Allison – Well, I don’t sound smart. I don’t think we’re supposed to know the answer to everything at the end anyway.
I found the ending canned, however, the story was good, the action was awesome and it was visually stunning to a degree I haven’t seen in years.I liked it. (Though it was about 20 minutes too long.)
Hot Mom- was a bit long. That’s what made me give the kiddies surprise pig noses. Bored. But I do like an action movie that cuts away from a noisy pointless action scene to show a very slow van.
I loved this movie. Even though it was too much to explain, I loved that they explained everything up until they suddenly stopped explaining anything. I want to talk about things that are spoilers!
And I loved the kid who plays Arthur SO MUCH. I wish I could remember his three-name-name.
