What can you say about a classic?

I always wanted to see this on the big screen and now that I finally have I can say I certainly wasn't disappointed.
Looking like it was shot yesterday and sounding as good as any current film certainly added to my enjoyment of this wonderful movie.
OK, OK, so some of the production numbers are a little old fashion, but hey, this is an MGM musical from 1939. I really didn't mind and non of the kids around me were objecting.
At the end of the film there was enthusiastic applause from the audience. Can't really remember the last time I heard that in a movie theater.
If you get the opportunity, GO see it. It's still a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Jaw Dropping Special Effects

This is a fabulous reinvention of the classic 1970's disaster movie genre.
Ok, the plot is thin, but that's not what you really came for, is it? Of course not. You came to see the special effects. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.
Some people will tell you to wait and see it at home on Blu Ray or DVD. Well, I just don't agree.. This is one movie that NEEDS to be seen on the big screen and the bigger the better. You might be able to reproduve the sound-scape with really top notch audio equipment, but they just don't make a flat screen TV/monitor that can truly visually convey the power of these images. That plus, there is jsut something magical about the theater experience and this kind of movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
