Author Topic: Expendables 2 Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 08-28-2012 07:19 PM                     Regal Hollywood 24 (Atlanta). Auditorium 12; One of their biggest screens. The projection was terrible. I already read the cinematography was bad for the movie. Add that to the fact I suffered through a very dull dim projectionl, I am thinking I should have saved this one for home video. I think the projector is one of those SONY 3D which routine multiplexes have had problems adjusting for 2D to get the full light output. That is just a hunch because I saw two images projected from the projection booth window. I had to leave in a hurry. But I complained about it to the manager by phone. THe dude was polite but indifferent. Just a routine "we will look into it". No interest in following up with me. I complained about a similar projection in the problem in the past, so I dont expect any action from the idiots who run this multiplex. Watchable but forgettable. I mean when you cram that many stars in there, it is bound to be watchable. But they messed up several opportunities of wow scenes when you get so many stars in one picture. The scenes with Arnold, Stallone, and Willis should be epic. instead they were routine shoot em ups. This movie is not even as good as the last Rambo as far entertainment. Dolph Lundgren injects some humor into his scenes.  |  IP: Logged
