Downside was that the IMAX theater at this AMC location didn't have the upgraded cushy seats that every other theater in the world seems to have these days. It's hard to go back to the old school seating. My back did not like it at all.
Interesting observation about the runtime feeling long. I used to think 2 and a half hours wasn’t long for a movie. However, my attention span seems to be getting worse and I might agree that it’s more difficult to sit through a long movie without feeling anxious. Though there’s nothing wrong with a long movie at times. For example, the lengthy director’s cut of “Kingdom of Heaven” is totally a different experience than the shorter theatrical cut version. The former is amazing and the latter is forgettable mediocre crap. Also, the LOTR trilogy is my favorite and their runtimes are lengthy.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

One of my favorites, if not my favorite franchise is the Mad Max movies. All movies two hours and under. The action sequences are tight.
I popped in the Blue Ray of Fury.Road and my son had no idea what the movies were about. Twenty minutes into the movie, he asks me, "what's going on here?"

I'm with you on the dwindling attention span, Cody! But I more meant that it FELT long, maybe because of the uncomfortable seating along with some slow parts in the beginning of the movie. I've sat through longer movies that didn't feel long. This one felt a little long.
Also, the after-the-credits bit was disappointing.#birdsarentreal

Or maybe it’s because movies now have to contain some bullshit propaganda or be inclusive for all viewers instead of make quality.
and that goes for both side of the aisle, not just the lefty weirdosF#*K OHIO!!!

Though I think some of the greatest movies of all-time have lengthy runtimes. It’s just harder to re-watch them with my personal exception of the LOTR trilogy.
Off of the top of my head… greatest movie theater experiences in my lifetime? “LOTR: Return of the King”, “Inception”, “Interstellar”, “Blade Runner: 2049”, “Avengers: Infinity War” … Lengthy movies.
I do agree about “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Just awesome.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

Odd that it hasn't happened a lot more in the past with these 2 legendary actors."I hope to see the Lions in the Super Bowl before I die"

I believe that's the only movie they've been in that both actors are in the same scene together.

However, that movie was made years after HEAT, so their performances in HEAT dwarf anything that they did in RK."I hope to see the Lions in the Super Bowl before I die"

The Irishman (Scorsese)…they definitely have scenes together.
And IMO it dwarfs Heat…..or really anything that Michel Mann has ever done…that guy’s movies are snoozers with one or two compelling scenes (and the shootout was pretty f’n good).Last edited by Nick Pappageorgio; May 19, 2023, 07:38 AM.
