three dee.

before i get into the movie, can we get into the fact that there is a 3D theatre in the cn towerr? when did that happen??? am i the only one that didn't know? in any event, the mister wanted to see 'the ultimate wave tahiti 3D' and upon checking the theatres it seemed that the cn tower theatre would be our best bet (okay, so we didn't factor in all of the summer tourists, but location-wise, it seemed like a good idea!)

i actually really liked the movie. given it was a kelly slater surf movie, i was expecting the usual surf movie tricks along with some tropical soundtrack, but this movie was different. it got into the tahitian culture and history, and also explained how the islands were formed and what causes waves...all in 3D! some of the footage and effects were incredible - the underwater shots in particular, you actually felt as though you were swimming along with the fish and the sea turtles. and the footage of some of the waves crashing was pretty impressive too. 3D just keeps getting better and better for me. the movie isn't overly long. it clocks in just under an hour, and was the perfect way to kill some time on a rainy sunday afternoon. if you find yourself in the area and are looking for something to do, i would deffo recommend you see it.

perhaps my only complaint were the 3D glasses themselves. damn, they were heavy...and huge. i spent most of the movie holding my fingers under the nose piece to keep the glasses from crushing me. aside from the weight, they were really fashionable and cool...er...maybe not so much.
