This film was made to be 3-D, it was just added in after the success of Avatar. As Cameron has pointed out his film works because he designed it to be in 3-D. I'm sure there was a lot of great cinemetography in this film, some of the set pieces did look stunning, but the 3-d gave it kind of a murky feel.
The story was awkward. Sam Worthington only has the one note and you've seen it in Terminator: Salvation and oddly Avatar. He is the luckiest Ossie on the planet. It was good to see Fiennes and Neeson back together again. And battling again too. Does Ralph have to act evil in Neeson's presence?
We should have sat farther back but we had assigned seats. Unless you read the credits, you wouldn't know it was Uma. And I'm only taking DM's word on this because, we didn't stay for the credits.
As for pictures, well. I took one. It was while we waited in line across the street from the theater. While we were in line, I was told to run back to my car and put the camera away. Too bad my car was in a parking lot near the house. We actually took the subway to the theater. This got a lot of confused looks when I said it to security. I figured I would just keep the camera in my pocket and no one would be the wiser. Unless of course they have walk through metal detectors. Again, I was told to put the camera in my car. Again, I received the strange looks. The took the camera and my driver's license and locked it in a case. When I went to retrieve the camera at the end of the night, the case had been removed and my camera and license were lying on the floor. No worries mate.
As for the whole experience the Red Carpet premiere deal, well, they brought us in early through a side door well away from the tented Red Carpet area. We waited in the auditorium for over an hour for the show. Constant scans of the audience only showed Neil Patrick Harris in the audience. And tiny man, Richard Zanuck. The people in front of us were excited they had seen Steve Carell. But that was about it for star sightings. My plan was for them to parade down the aisles in front of us so we could all do a scorecard of who we had seen. For some reason, this did not happen.
On the subway home, we were entertained by some very inebriated or stoned characters. This will not put me off from riding the subway again.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
