firecatI found a theater that offered it with rear window captioning so the OH could see it with me. Now I don't have to go to Wiscon prepared to clap my hands over my ears every five minutes to avoid spoilers.
Watching the movie made me happy. I was entertained.
Sylar gives good Spock. Sylar gives REALLY good Spock.
The rest of the actors did a good job of implying the original characters.
Ttttoooo mmuuccchhhhh sshhhaakkkkkyy ccaaaaammm
I suppose every action movie these days has to have revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats. But revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats who are ROMULAN?
I suppose every science fiction thriller these days has to have killer black holes. [*Cue giant sucking sound*]
Uhura-Spock works. A shame that she didn't get to do anything other than be a love interest, because I got the impression the actress would have done a good job with a broader role.
Typically, all the other women in the movie were there to be murdered to make male characters pissed off, or to give birth to male characters.

I'd be very interested to know what theater you went to and whether the captioning was acceptable.

Date: 16 May 2009 07:47 am (UTC)We went to Eastridge Mall 15, 2190 Eastridge Loop San Jose. They don't offer captioning for every movie or every showtime.
The OH said that the captions didn't display properly for about 1/4 of the movie, but when they did display, it worked OK for him.
Here are two lists that include open-captioned (captions on screen) and closed-captioned (rear-window captioning) movies:

(If you're in the Bay Area, search for "Oakland")
