They shouldn't show normal movies projected on the dome. That's just dumb. If it isn't a film in the iMax format, they should advertise this, and according to me, not show it at all. what's the point of wasting the world's largest dome on a filthy normal film. You do not get the iMax expirience, of losing the audience, and getting to be one with the camera. iMAx films have a LOT of camera motion that drags you along. That and the fact that there were no intervals.
Anyway, those dissapointments aside, the movie did not have the Dursleys, Most of the Weasleys, Ludo Bagman, Bertha Jorkins, Winky and Dobby. Even major charachters like Sirius Black and Reeta Skeeter have only the token appearence.
A friend noted more than forty one deviations from the plot ignoring omissions, and situations emerging from ommissions. Rita Skeeter is not even an animagus, although Maxime eats a bug off Hagrid's beard, which made me say "kinky" in a kinky voice.
the Harry-Ron and Ron-hermione fights are shown in a rotten manner. The Weird Sisters were cool though, they started singing a rock song. I wondered if they were from a real band, turns out I was right. Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway of Radiohead along with Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. cool eh? i want to see if I can get the soundtrack off the net now. The movie will appear on LAN soon.
The movies will always be a dissapointment for the fans, but this one had particulalry choppy editing. There were huge jumps in the plot, like they just showed the intro of the Quidditch cup, and then didn't show the actual match at all. They didn't even show the trophy. They didn't even show a glimpse of the first task of the other champions, and harry's own task was abnormally long. They could have cut the long bath scene with Myrtle hitting on Harry and showed the quidditch world cup. Priori Incatatem didn't have the web of golden rods.
But what the hell, apart from two sequences, the director has done a VERY good job of squeezing the entire book into a movie. Guess Harry Potter movies would have been populer even if they were an hour longer each. I don't know why people don't get that.
Downloaded Black Friday off LAN, will have a look at that soon.
