Dredd (2012)

A question - it it worth trekking to Bolton Vue to see Dredd in "extreme" - it's still Real3D,not that cool sounding shutter thingy, so is it likley to be any better quality, or just a bigger screen?

At the risk of sounding stupid... are these real?

I saw Dredd at a Vue Xtreme and thought it was tremendous. Bigger screen, brighter, sharper picture and crisper, louder sound. It made the film itself look better imo. The 3d was much better than my previous screening(s).

I'd say go for it.

I haven't been but from what radiator describes it sounds like an IMAX-style affair. IMAX is still the tinted, non-active glasses but the size of the screen and the higher resolution makes 3D look waaaaaaaay better, so it sounds worth it. If the sound is anything like IMAX then it'll be stupendous.

It's not IMAX size, but is bigger than the average screen.

Cheers Radiator. Might make a trip to Bolton at the weekend then for viewing number 3!

My work colleagues have decided to turn the tables on my Dredd enthusiasm.  I emailed this to a few guys earlier:

I don't know if you guys noticed, but Dredd is the first 18 cert film to top the UK box office in 2 years!

Also, Rotten Tomatoes has declared it 'Certified Fresh', with a comment that it is the best comic book to film adaptation EVER!

Plus I found this great quote on the 'Ain't It Cool' website review:

'I love that we live in an era when  we can bring the full force of millions of CPU hours of computational power, Oscar-winning brainpower, and dozens of CG artists to get exactly the right kind of slow motion head explosion.'

Can't say fairer than that! 

So have you seen it yet?!?

I got these responses:

and finally:

I seen it last night Dave

Thought it was alright, if you like that type of thing. Urban was not a patch on Sly for me, very poor. 

Why does he speak like Batman and walk like Robocop has he pooed himself? Wooden is not the word, give me Keanu any day of the week.

The drug SLO-MO, I appreciate trying to be quirky but COME ON director how to milk it and show off, shocking.

Females need to be more smoking hot and if it's an 18 I wanna see more flesh for my money.

3D had to come out the screen to wake me up, zzzzzzzzzzzz. I haven't drifted off so much since the Flintstones – Viva Rock Vegas.

' with a comment that it is the best comic book to film adaptation EVER!' – COME ON MATE HAVE YOU SEEN THE PHANTOM WITH BILLY ZANE?

Worse money I spent all year and I seen Battleship.

Sorry mate, but can't please everyone.

Bastards.

I always make sure to use the Arnold Rimmer gambit in such situations

They did it deliberately to wind me up, particularly the last one, which I thought was hysterically funny (although my immediate email response was 'oh piss off'). 

Worse money I spent all year and I seen Battleship.

I thought that was so funny.

As it turned out, he was really impressed by it and particularly loved the bit where [spoiler]Dredd took out the Judge with Hi-Ex.[/spoiler]

This isn't the spoilers thread -- remember we have forum members in lots of places the film hasn't opened yet.

Cheers
