Perhaps it's that I'm used to a Harry Potter movies that feel like a complete story, but it felt like something was missing out of this movie. I got the vibe of "necessary to make the next one make sense" from this movie.
I don't read the books, so I can't discuss how accurate this was or how in line it was with story line, but this movie seemed like it was all back story leading up to the next one in the series. I need more punch and action out of my movies.
Having seen Delirium when it was in town I thought it would be a neat experience to see it in theatres. One of the reviews here said the show itself was dull, which is not the case. The show is a compilation of music from other shows that features the music. That's the point of this production. If you're seeing Cirque purely for the acrobatics, go see Drallion :-p Having said that, this did not translate well in theatres. You lose the excitement. The camera angles and style made your viewing of the show limited. With this production, they do a lot of imagery on large screens around the stage and you missed a lot of it. That's part of what made the show exciting. Overall I still say see it for the experience, but if you can see it live.
