Hope you all like it when you see it, genuinely believe this might have pipped Cloud Atlas for film of the year (And Before Midnight), for now at least.

It wasn't completely full at that point - but there were people who had pre-pa*d tickets with Odeon Premiere points or something and they were waiting for them to turn up. I went out to the toilet at 6.15pm and saw an almighty queue arguing with the ushers. One usher explained it to me then. They really shouldn't split previews like this, no wonder not many people got tickets! It's really galling to have a packed screening with people turned away and then have some latecomers with pre-pa*d tickets come in looking for seats in the dark!

Ah, that would explain the people sitting on the steps I suppose. They probably pre-pa*d and refused to sit in the crappy leftover seat in the corner of the front row.

Same at The Printworks and they were unsure of how many people had pre booked, luckily steve had saved seats for myself and akh43 o/ I thought that it was a very good film although a tad on the long side 7/10

Back from Springfield Quay. Was told not to sit in the premiere seats as those were for Premiere card holders (I have one but didn't received an email). Further investigations I found out it was because Elle (the promoter) refused to p*y extra for those seats so our Odeon decided to give it to their card holders for 200 points. Which is nothing really. Turns out most of the seats were occupied by their staff members though.

Back to the film. Interesting but way too long. And at a snail's pace like Drive. Overall I liked it as it entertained me even though it was predictable. But OH was bored.

[spoiler]Bit false putting Gosling as the headliner when he dies halfway through.[/spoiler]

Cooper was decent enough and I was impressed hat how he looked reasonable young and then older. 6/10 Mendes looked better when she was older. And the two young (they aren't that young) stars did good. 6/10
