It’s a weird feeling that up to this minute i’m still awe-strucked with IMAX and can’t get over with the episode. Last saturday was my first IMAX experience (courtesy of Birthday Boy Kuya Kim) together with good old (and some new) friends.
We’ve decided to feel the 3D experience via the arid Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the 6th of the Harry Potter movie series. The 3D part lasted for like 25 drooling minutes, worth every penny if you ask me. The IMAX MOA has the largest screen in the country, which makes the 3D experience a little over the edge.
On to the movie review and enough with the IMAX blah. For some reason, i didn’t expect much from the story as i’ve read the book years ago. The film was ok, though some areas we’re boring and dragging not to forget the unforgivable skipping of important parts of the book.
There were some areas of the story that were obviously added. The Death Eater attack in The Burrow was not in the book, and yes, the burning of The Burrow wasn’t at all part of the original story. It should be Tonks and not Luna who found Harry in the train. Dumbledore meeting/threatening the Dursleys was not in the Movie. It would be interesting seeing Albus talking to Petunia. LOL. Plus the whole dark secret of Albus Dumbledore being skipped. A big time downer.
If i remember it right, there’s a big fight scene before Dumbledore died. We only got a portion of it. That’s the best they can do? I was expecting a major showdown of magic, we got a Draco-disarming-Albus scene instead.
The revelation of the identity of the Half Blood Prince should have been the highlight of the movie, next to Dumbledore’s death of course, besides the title of the movie is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, not Harry Potter and Ginny Weasleys Pink Panties.
Anyway, we can’t expect the director recreating the entirety of the book to be in the movie or we’d be stuck in the movie house for days. So let it be. Maybe they have reasons and the inserted scenes will play a big role in the last two HP movies.
Movie effects were great, cinematography was perfect. IMAX was awesome. A saturday pa-morningan blues with friends plus a cup of coffee. Classic!
