21st March (日曜日) - Alice in Wonderland

Finally caught "Alice in Wonderland" 3D this evening with both Tuk and Art @ Cathay Cineleisure. There was a slight blunder prior to the show though. A rather rare and funny one. You see, the lights went out and the usual dolby sound intro came up and then ta-da, the "How to train your dragon" (3D) trailer filled the screen. Or so we thought. But after a few moments, we started to sense something was VERY wrong. Instead of watching a teaser, it was as if we were watching the movie itself... the plot was unfolding & etc.

I started to panic, thinking if I had led us into the wrong cinema hall! We were supposed to watch "Alice in Wonderland" and not "How to train your dragon"! So i nudged both Tuk & Art (i was sitting in between them) to ask the audience beside them, to see if they were expecting to catch the former in this cinema as well. And the answers were an affirmative yes. Phew!

So after watching the first 10 - 15 mins of "How to train your dragon", the film was suddenly stopped and one of the staff came in and expressed apology for the technical glitch - which I highly suspected it was more of a human error (i.e.: person-in-charge forgot to replace with the right movie reel) as opposed to the former excuse. Poor guy/ girl. I supposed he/she will kana real big time from his boss for such an error. But fortunately, the audience (including me) were quite a good sport so we all kinda laughed it off.

And when "Alice in Wonderland" finally came on, some of the audience clapped and laughed. And we settled into the dark once again t concentrate on the movie we had paid for.

The show was ok. Could have caught the non-3D version instead. Acting was so-so but graphics was great. Then again, Tim Burton's renowned for the latter and not so much for the former, so it's ok for me. Got myself one of the premiums for keeps too:


Lego Digital カメラ + Adobe Lightroom

I would have much preferred to keep the Mad Hatter or the Red Queen instead. But there wasn't any stock in place. Alice's figurine was awful. So I'm glad I'd picked The White Rabbit.
