Marvel Comics' movie 'Thor' comes out tomorrow and thanks to
Dr Pepper Cherry (thanks Erin) I had a chance to watch an advance screening at the
Scotiabank Theatre on Richmond Street. Great movie and it looked fantastic in 3D, which came in handy when my wife enjoyed Thor (Chris Hemsworth) with his shirt off - here is a screen grab from their site.
Lots of great action and scenery with such stars as Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings, who I loved in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, has a great comic relief part. Very enjoyable, good for the whole family, I would definitely recommend going to the theatres to see this movie - enjoy the sounds and sights of 3D, it really is made for the big screen.
Of course you may have trouble identifying the bad guy in this movie, so keep your 3D glasses ready and your eyes open. I wish the screening had sold big plastic hammers, now that would have been fun.
Don't forget to stay after the credits have rolled for a 3D trailer featuring
Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury.
PS the theatre is really cool and is in the building with the Rubik Cube type thing outside. You have to go up a long way to reach the theatres and it has an actual bar in the lobby. There are also a few movie memorabilia items such as the bad guy from the Scream series of movies and a large model of a Star Trek spaceship - something like a bird of prey.
