September 15th: New Activity--Going to see a movie based on a Video Game
less than one week after its’ premiere in the theater.
With movies being so expensive, I tend to be a bit more
selective in what I see now than I did previously. I even try to catch the movies during matinee
hours so I can get the cheapest rate.
I am a big fan of horror movies (more old school than the mystery/horror movies), comedy movies (more
situational than slapstick), and action movies (those with a plot I can relate
to, not just shoot them up or fight movies).
Usually, with movies based on Video Games, I tend to wait
until they come out on DVD—they don’t call to me to be seen in the theater.
However, my someone special is big into the movies based
on video games, movies based on racing (Fast and the Furious) or plots
regarding investigation, anti-cop, or vigilante justice.
So with Resident Evil: Retribution coming out on this past Friday,
I sensed he really wanted to check it out.
I admit I hadn’t had a chance to look at all of the previous movies
leading up to it but the action shown in the previews intrigued me.
I am very glad the local movie theater reopened. For upon its’ reopening, you can go to any
movie at any time for $5.00 compared to paying an arm and a leg at AMC.
Sure, the theater itself isn’t as fancy, but
if you are getting such a great deal on getting in the movie, how worried are
you about the fanciness of the theater?
The action in it was top notch. I still was able to somewhat follow it since
the first couple of minutes gave a synopsis of what happened in the
others. There weren’t any moments
where the action dragged—you felt like you were in a video game.
So it was definitely worth my $5.00.
Peace.
