So........... (sorry)............ who's going to see Cats after all the stellar reviews?
I was dragged to the theatre in Wimbledon to see it many years ago, that was enough!The only positive things of that evening were the drive there and back in my old XJS convertible and several gin and tonic‘s back home to get over the experience.
I watched drive on netflix. Also this free steam account with games guide is useful for a gamer. It's amazing.

I think the poster was referring to the new Cats! Mystery Men (1999)
Recorded off the SyFy channel recently.
I've seen it before, but it's interesting watching it post The Boys and post Watchmen.
The sets and backdrops are a lot more cartoony and styalised than I remember - hints of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
I also had forgotten how many weird camera angles there are, in a style that apes Terry Gilliam (with limited success).
Overall, not as good as I remember.
Edit: Although it does have the classic line "We've got a blind date with destiny, and it looks like she's ordered the lobster"
