Well it almost wasn't. For about twenty minutes or so, the projector malfunctioned and we just got everything out of focus. Someone at the back went out to complain and, after a blackout, it came back on with everything working.
I was impressed. The 3D experience was pretty good (it really was 3D!) and Judge Dredd is good movie to see it in. Initially, I was a bit disappointed to see how low tech it was, but after that, the film turned out to be a treat. Karl Urban is 10,000,000 times a better Dredd than Stallone ever was and Olivia Thirby was pitch perfect as Judge Andersen. The plot was workman-like, with lots of bangs and crashes, and the slo-mo effect of the drug scenes worked very well in 3D. The only thing the original movie did better was Armand Assante chewing the scenery. Lena Headey was okay as Ma-Ma, but lacked a little menace for my taste, plus Dredd throwing a woman out of a 200 storey window wasn't exactly PC.
All in all, a good pizza movie, and I got some 3D glasses! Yay!
