Anyone else go last night? Any thoughts? Here's my very brief review...
It really wasn't that good. I usually prefer the club venues vs theater venues for these shows but I figured it would be really cool in IMAX. Unfortunately, although it was at the IMAX it wasn't an IMAX movie. Instead it was just a standard projection that seemed lost on the giant IMAX screen. The footage was good but pretty standard. In past years there's always been at least one segment that raises the bar for coming years. This time it was just more of the same over and over. TGR seems to becoming more Warren Miller-ish. There was a weak plot (hey we're on the road) with a drab Sam Elliot-ish narration.
The crowd was comatose. There was barely a peep throughout the whole show. It was hard to tell if the lack of inspiration from the film made the crowd quiet.....or if the quiet crowd made the film seem uninspiring. At least if it had been at a club you could get a beer and walk around to avoid boredom.
They've quit doing the mid-movie intermission with give-aways and pep-rally. So it was just one continuous too-long movie. At the end everyone just shuffled out without seeming very stoked up.
I gave up on Warren Miller a few years ago in favor of TGR. Now I guess I'm done with them too. Bring on MEATHEADS!
