Ottawa, ONI like the idea of bringing everyone out in the snow to see whatever new shit Jim Cameron has cooked up. I’m a little disappointed this one isn’t really tackling any new grounds, technically speaking, coming off of The Way of Water. And the story is still dogwater. But it’s still a hulking visual beast. And it needs to be seen in theatres for it to mean anything. If you were content enough with The Way of Water, I don’t think there’s any reason to dunk on this. Though at least we were rewarded with a The Weeknd track at the end of the predecessor.
Watched in 3D IMAX at Landmark Kanata. Didn’t realize that it’d be HFR as well. Kinda felt like a fever dream, catching the last showtime and not stumbling out of the theatre until nearly 2am. Still considering subjecting myself to the proper IMAX experience of this at Scotiabank Theatre Toronto.
