I seen it yesterday with my fiancee`, Pasta, who surprisingly got us tickets for the IMAX 3-d version at Navy Pier in Chicago. I am always pumped about seeing films @ an IMAX b/c I love how my brain needs to process information differently when the film starts. It is just so massive, you feel a "click" inside as you begin to process the glory on the screen. The sound is also amazing and immersing b/c of the 15k watts surging in the theater. Well about the film.
We were given these bulky 3-d glasses that were made to fit all, but I heard kids QQ'ing about the glasses not fitting their heads, but the glasses
fit comfortably over my glasses and made me feel sex-e. The film started interestingly enough in a playground with Harry's cousin "Big D" threatening to beat up Harry. Pasta turned to me and said this is way different than I expected. Pasta is an avid Potter connoisseur and knows much of the books by heart. Pasta also said the 3-d sort of sucks, and then told me she realized the objects fell back into the screen instead of popping out.
That is something I have known through my research and love of 3-d. Most new types of 3-d glasses use a polarized sun glass lens to offset the images on the screen, so if you were wearing the 3-d glasses while watching a normal program that has the main characters in better light than the background, the shadows tend to fall back into the screen
more than normal creating a false 3-d effect that is semi-satisfying. SCIENCE!The film itself was interesting and quick paced. I did not feel lost by the story and enjoyed the idea of putting myself in the situation of the students. Umbridge is a twisted and corrupt woman that thankfully gets whats coming to her towards the climax of the film. The new editions to the film did an excellent job adding to the magical Potter world through excellent acting. Luna Lovegood was one of my favorite new characters because she has a strange charm about her that Harry shares. They have both seen someone die and it gives them the ability to see and hear things that the other people cannot.
Towards the excellent climax of the film a warning came up on the bottom of the screen to put on our 3-d glasses. Everyone was saying "WTF" for not knowing that the glasses should have not been worn till this point. The 3-d now kicked in full force! Let me tell you... it was pathetic. The darker the object was, the more it was split into 2 images. I was quite disappointed during an awesome battle seen against the Order and the Death Eaters. Right after someone dies... Harry runs after the Killer, Belatrix... only to be schooled by
Voltimort who just paws Harry's wand away like a polar bear! I laughed pretty hard at it and kept doing it to Pasta when the film was over. Then PIZZOW! Ganindorf pops out of a fire and starts battling Bad V in awesome 3-d!!! The scene was very bright and the 3-d worked fantastic in this bright setting. It was so awesome and a very good battle. One point you think Ganandorf is winning, then you think V is winning, then Harry tries to help and Ganandorfs paws him away and I laughed some more, the Ganandorf does this awesome water thing against V and it looks like he is about to kick V's ass... BUT then V is just about to get blasted and he takes the power blast and just LAUGHS and does this HAHA thing with his body! SO COOL. They all this glass comes flying down and shoots towards Ganandorf and Harry and Ganan makes this sheild and turns the glass into nano-powders! HAHA!Then Volt turns into sand but really didn't leave... HE IS JUST INSIDE OF HARRY! Harry says Volt you are teh suck b/c you don't have friends and Volt has to leave. Then the ministry of magic comes down and sees Volt standing in this power globe of death sand and says, "Dag, he is back!" The main point of the film is the world of magic is divided b/t Vold is really back and he is not really back.
I gave it a night to think about and decided this film is better than the last one of the goblet fire. I dug the dragon battle in that film. I was still confused about somethings b/c there were little holes in the film of why things were happening, but Pasta filled me in. IF you have any questions about the film just leave a comment and she will fill you in. I give this film 5 broomsticks.
