DANA-kin Skywalker Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Should I update my total so you all can make fun of me? Nine. Wow. Nice. I have to see it again, I think. My viewing on 12/26 was in the second row, all the way to the left. Not great. My daughter was not happy. Have to see if we can get in the middle, a tad farther back. 2D. F 3D.lol too slowShe's already said she's up to eleven, and is probably closer to thirteen before I finish this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I haven't seen it again yet. Must rectify that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm seeing it again tomorrow, even though I don't have to as far as the characters / plot is concerned (although the Jedi Steps scene is awesome); just had to see Jakku and the Ileenium system and other assorted bits of VFX eye candy on a big screen again So three times for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Tonight I achieved my 12th viewing, which breaks my record. I'll probably see it one or two times on a cruise next week. Maybe once more after that before the Blu Ray comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Going to number 3 tomorrow. I haven't seen a movie more than twice in a theater in at least a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've been thinking about going to see it a fourth time, which I am almost positive would break my record. I believe I saw both ROTS and the Dark Knight three times in the theater. There are a number of other ones I saw twice, but I don't think any of them got up to three times in one release. The only other one I've seen three times in theaters, including re-releases, is TPM, which I saw in 3D. I should check out show times for tomorrow.

Poe Dameron Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I plan on seeing it one last time tomorrow. If you guys plan to see it one final time, I suggest you do it soon. It's beginning to shed theaters and seeing its showtimes cut. Starting next week, that process should accelerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm probably going to see it again (maybe twice) on Tuesday (cheaper on Tuesdays), so at least four times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We were totally going to go see it last night, but we had a baby instead. We probably won't see it again until the Blu-Ray release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 A month after the release and my theater was almost full and there were a lot of first-timers there given the amount of GASPING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Dameron Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just got back from my 3rd viewing as well. The theater was, indeed, fairly full for a Sunday 3:45 showing. I'd say a solid 2/3 of the seats were occupied. Figured I'd be safe walking in during the credits, but had to take a fairly lousy seat to avoid sitting next to someone. Part of it is that the showings are now limited to 4 times a day there when it used to be like 25 times a day, but still, that's pretty impressive for a movie in its 7th weekend.

Poe Dameron Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm unusually ambivalent about it, but I never said I didn't like it. Besides, it's a Star Wars movie. I've read Children of the Jedi and Crystal Star twice each. Even if I'm not into the series nearly as much as I was in my teen years, they'd have to mess up pretty bad for me not to see a Star Wars film at least a couple times in theaters.

Poe Dameron Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 LMFAO Back peddling like a mofo.Naw, I've said the same since I got here: Poe Dameron has some very valid points. I agree with everything he says. This film was beyond a dissapointment. For the record, I don't hate The Force Awakens. I'm just not in love with it. I'm not even all that disappointed. There's even some relief since Abrams took much better care of Star Wars than he did Star Trek, a franchise he fundamentally misunderstood. I just didn't get a sense of joy like I felt with the other movies. In a lot of ways, it's Star Wars converging with the rest of risk averse Hollywood. Some of the humor follows the Avengers model. The direction and editing will drift into more modern techniques. It's a problem I'm going to need to deal with going forward in this franchise. And a problem the franchise itself will be forced to deal with as it becomes the same as everything else being produced. Still, I'm not going to stand here and say that it's a bad movie, or that I didn't enjoy it. There were some aspects that worked very well. Particularly in the first 45 minutes. I just think they couldn't keep up the high level for the entire movie. And the more directly they tried to mimic A New Hope, the more glaring the gulf became between the execution of both movies.I completely stand by those sentiments and usually correct people when they say I hate the film or think it sucks or whatever. In a few ways, it was a bit more of an obligation and less excitement than usual to go out and see this movie. There's a reason why I went a month between my first and second viewings when I saw each of the Prequels at their midnight premiers and again the next evening. But it'll be added to my collection when it comes out on Blu-Ray. I'm not going to cross my arms over my chest and vow to never see the movie again just to pose as a hater on a message board.

ShadowDog Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm not saying that. I just can't imagine seeing a movie in the theater more than once unless I LOVED IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I saw it more than once because I wanted to untangle my reaction to seeing it the first time (when I was a bit overwhelmed by it and struggled to relax), and I'll end up seeing it four times because I don't think seeing the bits I like at home will have the same impact (I'm also the sort of person that struggles to resist jumping forwards / backwards / replaying etc. if given the option, so I like the captive aspect of watching movies in theaters or when they are broadcast on free-to-air) My feelings about it are still a bit conflicted (tone of it isn't quite right for me; it's a bit uneven and YA), but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
