Took my six year old grandaughter to it yesterday, "school holidays at the moment" the 3D was very well done however the wee one, although enjoying the movie was complaining during the screening of sore eyes and I found her at times sitting there without the glasses on. She did persevere with the glasses until the end. I dont know why, but the movie itself was getting close to putting me to sleep. The good thing about 3D glasses is that know one can see you having a zzzzzzzz.

The best parts of "Ice Age 4" was Scrat's amusing mini-adventures, which sadly were interrupted by the main story [Frown]

, although at the start was a brilliant little 3D short called "The Longest Daycare" which features Maggie from "The Simpsons".

Last week we watched "Brave" in 2D on 35mm, [Cool]

that was better. The little one enjoyed that, I think I will skip 3D movies in future [Frown]

certainly no complaints on the 3D presentation side of things, it just wasn't working out for us.

I can't get into the "Ice Age" films either. Oddly enough, i've just seen "Ice Age 4D" this afternoon at the Warner Brothers Movie World theme park. Basically, it's an extract of the film in 3D and then when a dinosaur appears and rasps at you, the chairs shake and you get sprayed with water and air!

Jonathan
Thats a great idea with 4D, where water and air hitting you on the face and the seats shaking...no chance of slipping into zzzzzzzzz land. [Smile]

Come to think of it [Roll Eyes]

we get some of those effects at the movies you describe "free of charge" living in this city. [Eek!]

:)Graham!
Actually wasn't there a quake before the weekend?
I lived in NZ for nearly nine years and never quite made it to Christchurch which I do regret now.

Jonathan there are quite a few fault lines through out NZ, but I think earthquakes seem to be more active world wide than in the past. The nasty one for us here in this city, is only 10km east and usually shallow so you can hear it coming before things move. Last week we did have a couple but they were light ones, enough to make things swing for a bit but thats all.

The most popular web-site here is "GeoNet" Recent Quakes, anything thats in five or more in magnitude from 10km away, thats the fault we worry about the most. Its track record so far has not been good and not predictable. The local "Reading Cinema" has for a while now drastically reduced there admission prices to get folk to come back to the movies after being closed for most of last year, added to that a lot of folk in this side of the city have moved away due to their properties not repairable because of the land.

I hope things settle down soon,Graham.
Some friends of my parents finished their holiday in Christchurch the morning before the big quake.They said one odd thing happened before they left.It was quieter than usual. All the birds had disappeared from outside their hotel.
How instinctive.
