Back to the Movies…

BACK TO THE MOVIES…

It’s been some time since I visited the movie theater. I hadn’t wanted to go not because of the movies out there of little quality, that’s a whole different story, but I hated being a bother to my fellow moviegoers.
No one likes the constant questions to describe what’s going on in the scene and I detest over explanation. So what got me back into a theater seat?

I’d heard movie goers with disabilities were having much success and actual enjoyment because theaters now equipped themselves with the latest adaptive technology for everyone to participate in a night out at the movies.

Thrilled at this possibility of returning to the movies I was game to try it out.
But on a side note, I’m a fan of great tunes and I’d heard this sequel’s sound track was as fabulous as the first one.

So wanting to witness volume 2 gave me the extra umph I needed to justify to shell out the cash for the overly priced tickets and possible disappointment that this new technology for the disabled was not up to par.

Prepared to just listen to the dialogue and sing along to the sound track, I was shocked at the quality of the narration and how well everything worked. There was no extra cost for the use of the head set which was a pure bonus then when the movie came on, after the trailer previews, the narration started.
Able to follow along with the plot needing no assistance from my fellow watchers all I could think was, It works! I’m back to the movies. “Hallelujah!”

The movie was a real treat. The clear narration explained all of the high adventure in space. The spectacular soundtrack that could make any star dance to its beat had me doing just that.

I loved it! The whole experience brought about a rebirth of venturing out to the movies.
Normally I stick to books, audio books, some e-books if I can find a tolerable narrating voice, but now with this discovery that movie theaters are now carrying devices for the hearing and visually impaired to better enjoy the movie experience it means the purse strings will get quite the stretching.
Honestly, I doubted the experience would prompt me to mark Saturdays off as movie night but it has.

I could say it’s the screen writers or the sound track for the reason but in all reality it’s probably the fact I can walk in to a theater, unfold my seat, sit down with my tub of popcorn and gallon of overpriced soda and finally slide on some earphones, sit back and actually watch the movie through my ears. What a fantastic treat.

And if you’re interested…Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 gets the soft fuzzy prickles of a Douglas Fir,2 thumbs up, *****, and 10 Oreo review rating from the muses.
Sound Track is fabulous like the original and I’m looking forward to downloading the tunes to my iPhone.

And since its Saturday, Johnny Depp’s new amazing pirate tale is now inked onto the calendar for the 8 o’clock showing tonight.

So stay tuned…more coming from the Prickle Forrest Chronicles!
