How in the hell do you get into a 3D movie for 12 bucks?? That's a regular 2D in these parts. A 3D is like 16.

ya, it kinda pisses me off cause I really wanna see it again in Imax, but I might not have time this weekend, which will basically be the last chance. I hate the short-ass release windows nowadays. And especially that it has to give away it's screens to junk like Ender's Game and Thor, 2 releases I couldn't care less about if I tried.

Re: it opening in China.

I'd put money down that someone deliberately changed the cause of the Kessler effect in the movie as a strike on a satellite by a Chinese missile (as happened in real life) to a Russian missile, just so that the movie was more consumable in that massive market.
(And also that their Tiangong station is actually up there and completed, though the film does takes place in a near future when the shuttles are still active beyond STS-135.)

Anyhow, nice review Dorkman.
