I had
nothing to on the Thursday evening so I decided to watch new film "Oz
the Great and Powerful" and went to the cinema for 23:30
screening.
I knew very little about the film and was somewhat surprised when in 3D movie you see 3x4 black and white screen for 15 minutes in the beginning. I even turned around to somehow check if all is alright and everyone see what I see. Then I saw the director of that title and smiled for myself. Sam Raimy done great job, and you can expect from him something like that - create effect from a thing that everybody takes for granted. This translation from black and white 3x4 screen to colored default resolution screen worked perfectly and helped a lot in separation of real and Oz worlds.
After
seeing movie I've watched interview with Sam on Kermode
& Mayo (kind a cool channel - I look/listen to it a lot)
and Sam done a good impression on me in it.
They
talked about problems with rights and that what they done to overcome
them also there was small discussion of the new Evil Dead film which
will come to the screen shortly.
But
back to movie. It was pretty entertaining for me. Sam done good job
with 3D - things thrown in to screen, and other things. Oz world
looked bright and wonderful but for me it also looked a bit cheep.
James
Franko also haven't disappointed me, as somewhat "neutral-good"
"wizard". Witches also looked great, especially Mila Kunis,
before and after she became the evil green witch looked cool, ha ha
spoiler. Additionally I noticed Zack Braff in role of sidekick of the
wizard.
The
movie was shoot in adventure genre, and there were several funny
moments, and also there were moments that could frighten you a bit,
there were some dramatic moments and altogether it was great movie
and I would recommend it.
