went and caught the movie in IMAX 2d last night with some friends, we all agreed it looked lovely, the film is intentionally filmed in a softish focus which is very arty but made the whole IMAX part a bit less effective.
We all enjoyed it, found it strange to be waiting for lines from the book/previous movie to be repeated verbatum at times (and as they were predictable it was partly distracting partly a fun party game), the film was also clearly struggling to balance the visual influence of David Lynch's movie, the whole steampunk esthetic that it at times dipped into and it was at times trying to avoid
On the whole liked it but I am getting too old as I kept thinking that I would enjoy this just as much at home on the couch with a scotch and the volume kept to a less painful level.
