Well I have just been to see the new James Bond film Skyfall in IMAX.
Wow, is that screen massive!!
My first IMAX film and I liked it.
As for the film, well I can't really talk about it too much unless you have seen it because there are some surprises and I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
But despite it's 2hr 23min duration I enjoyed it and think Sam Mendes has done a pretty good job as director. I'm sure I've seen a few nods to previous Bond films, but then again it is the 50th anniversary.
I was a bit amused by Javier Bardem's hair colour. It looks a bit like a home hair dye job!
It does feel like the writers are trying to make it more a story driven film than an over reliance on action. In fact at time I felt they were trying to put a bit of distance between the style of the older films and this new, albeit in baby steps, although they can't have a Bond film without a large dollop of action and you get plenty.
Sean Connery is still my favourite Bond... just.
Oh I nearly forgot, the Bond theme. I was not too struck by the Adele tune when I first heard it, but once I heard in the context of the film I thought it better than my first impression.
I will be buying it as I own all the Bond soundtracks and I am a completist!
The rest of the soundtrack was pretty good and written by Thomas Newman.
