Super 8 Motels suck ass!

Finally saw this yesterday and it was fantastic! I thought the story and acting were top notch - the dialogue in particular was great. I agree about the 3rd act somewhat but like Rhylith I felt so much goodwill had been built up by then that I didn't care.

What wasn't fantastic was seeing this in a 2D digital projection through a 3D lens with the polarizing filters still in or whatever... it turned such a beautiful "high production value"(*) film into a dark murky mess. But at least I knew to be on the lookout for that (thanks Internet!), and after it was over I bitched and got my money back. FU Sony!

hi5!

Hopefully enough people make an uproar about this so that theaters start swapping the lenses properly.

Yeah. I didn't even get any trouble getting the refund - I didn't even have to ask, they offered it very quickly. And they were aware of the problem - they said the only way they could swap lenses was to have someone from Sony come do it.

Which is bogus, you just need to train someone to do it and spend the time when you swap lenses. Or not use Sony 4K projectors until they fix the problem.

3D is rapidly falling apart though, thankfully.
