"Coraline" - Stop motion childrens horror fantasy, based on Gaiman book, in stereo 3D

[Tank Girl]

I've got no kids this weekend and I'm thinking of going to see this on my own tomorrow (in 3D) Is that a bit sad or mean?

definitely not sad, dunno about the mean bit, do your kids really want to go?

I tried to get my girl to come along with me to see this, but she was having none of it

The middle one might have liked it but he knows I'm going on my own now and is cool about it. The youngest thinks it would be too scary. I said to them that I was either going to see coraline or star trek and they both went 'You can't see star trek without us!!!! '

My eldest would probably like it but he's hard to track down

 

[camouflage]

Afraid not. Sorry.

Ah well, just have to watch Monsters vs Aliens instead then.

There's loads of knowing-jokes in that for the growed-ups apparently, and lots of depth-of-field-3d-delight to be had n'all.

I loved it.

The 3d in Monsters gave me a headache.

Fucking ace film!! I took some perception enhancing chemicals beforehand but even without this film is beautiful, the combination of stop motion and CGI works great, and while keeping the story as the main focus of the film the 3D aspect works excellently.

It was a bit scary though, I'd recommend it for 10yo+. Not just the story but some of the visuals as well, cobwebs on faces and falling down horrible 3D spiderweb tunnels

It was £40 for four of us though, is that normal at cinemas now?

I really really like it. The 3d animation is great!

 

[rennie]

and madzone, I have no kids either.

Even in Newcastle it's 5.95 in the afternoon and 7 quid in the evening.

Depends where you go. Peckham is dirt cheap - under a fiver. otherwise we only go to the ritzy on wednesdays now - 2 for 1 with an orange phone

Went to see this yesterday and had the cinema to ourselves

Loved it

threads merged btw.

Saw it Saturday, it was ok. Perhaps i'm jaded by CGI but it wasn't that amazing visually.

What about an orange sim card?

yep. text FILM to 241 and get a code texted back to you. Some cinemas used to not accept it, but I think it works everywhere now.

 

[Yetman]

Bah. Now I find out

I loved it, but my almost eight year old was a bit scared in parts - can't blame him really!

 

[brixtonvilla]

This looks nothing like the picture I had in my head when I was reading the book. Not sure if I want to see it, tbh. But probably will.

 

[rich!]

I was pretty much open-mouthed in astonishment for the whole of it.
