Captain America: Civil War
Discussion
Saw this yesterday. Unfortunately the experience was significantly diminished by my accidentally booking tickets for a 4DX showing. (Thought I was booking Imax) It's like watching a film whilst on a 4x4 driving experience. The good news is that I advise anyone else against this presentation format.
Needless to say I now have to go again to form a better opinion, but on this viewing I would have to say it's not quite as good as winter solider or avengers assemble, but better than the rest. I may revise that when I can enjoy the emotional beats without whiplash.

You sit in a row of 4 seats that move around supposedly in sync with the film. There is also smoke, smells and strobe effects.
All it does is distract you from what's going on the screen.
Pretty much. fAll it does is distract you from what's going on the screen.
king ridiculous idea, clutching at straws, like smellovision from the 60s.The review of this film on Collider Movies suggested it was possibly the greatest action film of all time and they were all giving it around 8 or 9 out of 10.
Now I respect their reviews and as such totally believed the hype.
Saw it last night and although it was OK I certainly wouldn't say it was great. Plenty of good scenes and things going on but some slow uninteresting stuff to. I was very aware I was sat in the cinema and wasn't sucked in to the film at all.
Obviously everyone has their own opinion but really surprised that my experience seems so different to everyone else's.

I thought it was too long and had far too much talking. After an hour I was wondering if I was watching the right film.Now I respect their reviews and as such totally believed the hype.

That was my view too, The First part of the film and last part were great. The middle section really lost its way. The cameos saved it for me. Now I respect their reviews and as such totally believed the hype.
