Tariq j Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I'll be seeing it in a brand new theater. Not IMAX, but it's only been open for about 2 weeks. ...and it serves booze and food to your seats before the show starts. Any chance of a spare seat perhaps?! Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I'm going to see it on Thursday!!! And they just finished building an IMAX in my town so as you can imagine, I am extremely excited to see it. I have not seen a Star Wars movie in theaters in my life (ROS came out when I was 7 or 8) so this a new experience extremely anticipated for me! Quote
Pimbo Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Seeing it on the 23rd in a new theater with reclining leather seats. Until then I'll be avoiding every Star Wars related thread here like the plague. That's a sound strategy, I'm considering something like that but I fear I'd have to lock myself indoors and pull the tv- and internet-plug. Fortunately, the few other people at my workplace don't care about Star Wars. But I'm sure other people will have more trouble at school or work... Quote
The Lego Nolan Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 That's a sound strategy, I'm considering something like that but I fear I'd have to lock myself indoors and pull the tv- and internet-plug. Fortunately, the few other people at my workplace don't care about Star Wars. But I'm sure other people will have more trouble at school or work... Sometimes that doesn't help. A couple of my friends who didn't care about Jurassic World spoiled it for me because they assumed that no one cared. Quote
Slurpifier Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 In less than 36 hours time, I'll be watching The Force Awakens at my cinema's midnight release. No one know's how excited I am. Quote
The Lego Nolan Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Sometimes that doesn't help. A couple of my friends who didn't care about Jurassic World spoiled it for me because they assumed that no one cared. And those same friends plan on watching The force Awakens, which they also don't care about. So I hope I get to a theater before they do. Quote
Starrocks923 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 If you're trying to avoid spoilers, watch out for these guys: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/12/15/threats-made-to-spoil-star-wars-the-force-awakens-unless-demands-are-met/ I wonder if any of those "Rebels" will bring their Bantha Poodoo over here to EB. I hope not. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Right, better get going, movie starts in 30 minutes! Edit: Back from the cinema. Won't spoil anything, just say that i liked the movie! As a frame of reference, I love the OT / dislike the PT. Edited December 16, 2015 by LegoFjotten Quote
Steph 104th Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I just walked out of the cinema a very happy man. Quote
N-4K0 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 The movie starts here in just less than 5 hours. So exited Quote
ChiefPie Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I have to say I won't see the movie till it's out on DVD. So I'm gonna try not killing myself with spoilers. So far it sounds the movie is great So I suppose no one important dies as rumors claim. Quote
dr_spock Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Now that some of you have started seeing the movie, shall we not come back to this thread until after we've seen the movie? Quote
Starrocks923 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 The full synopsis is up on Wikipedia, which I just barely avoided reading. Avoid the page at all costs; it could be triggering. Quote
Robert8 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I swear I'll go in front of the waiting line for the Star Wars movie and yell it. You know what part.... Just like this: Edited December 17, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
General Magma Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I saw the movie yesterday - it was very good! I'm going to see it at least one more time, though it's gotta be screened and thus projected in 2D. I went to a 3D showing and bought 2D glasses to avoid the 3D, and I must say those glasses aren't too great, so from now on I know I must go to screenings that are actually projected in 2D. It was a bit distracting, and the theater was too packed with people who felt the need to talk or make frequent remarks throughout the movie, so I know my second viewing will be better - but regardless of that whole 3D to 2D thing, I could still enjoy it and I loved this film. It's a bit hard to realize that I've seen it after all these years of waiting... needs some processing, but it was great. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 As someone who usually goes to 2D screenings and saw TFA in 3D I must say this is the best 3D I've seen at a regular cinema to date. Usually whenever I see a 3D movie I fret about subtitles at a depth that is very tiring for the eyes, scenes that fall together because they try to throw too much at you (breaking the illusion), as well as scenes where everything looks like miniatures. I had perfect seats which might have helped, but I'm actually considering seeing it in 3D the second time around - never though that would happen. Quote
SandMirror38 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Watched Force Awakens today, it was ... interesting. Not going to say much due to spoilers etc, etc but I feel like it re-treaded *too* much ... The pacing seemed a bit too fast aswell and a lot more story could've been told then the retreading there was instead ... What does everyone else think about the parts I've gone over? Quote
WarSquirrel Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) *packed with people who felt the need to talk or make frequent remarks throughout the movie* My first viewing was like that too , I was sitting near a group who had to say the name of a character every time they appeared I understand being excited about seeing a character, but every single time gets pretty annoying Edited December 17, 2015 by WarSquirrel Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 TFA was quite disappointing for me. Recycled storylines, forced pacing, tried too hard to be nostalgic, unconvincing acting, annoying lensflares, boring lightsaber duels. Overall meh. I guess my misatake was I expected too much and got overhyped for this movie. Quote

Zilcho Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Just came back from seeing A New Hope... or was it The Force Awakens? Edited December 17, 2015 by Zilcho Quote
Starrocks923 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 My parents were the kind who were always counter-cultural, so I grew up training to read stuff while not noticing the more risque elements in popular books and movies. So I have no trouble at all reading spoilery articles about TFA without being spoiled at all. I did read one slightly spoilery article though. It confirmed that there is something about Kylo Ren that's a spoiler so big, it won't spoil it. Quote
