CINEMA: AMC Council Bluffs 17, Council Bluffs, IA AUDITORIUM: 13, SEAT C6 PRESENTATION: AMC Recline-o-Vision in Star Cinema Wall-to-Wall Screen auditorium with Digital projection probably added when Kerasotes owned it with No Masking which is AMC’s contribution to the whole mess PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Center channel was way loud during the trailers, but fine during the feature RATING: Three stars (out of four)
I enter the lobby and go straight to the ticket taker position, but there’s not only no ticket taker, there’s no equipment to support one. The Purchase Tickets line is long, but I’m not sure what to do, so I get in line.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Finally, it’s my turn, and the seller leaves. Guy behind me: “What the hell?” She’s gone for around five minutes. Finally, she returns and waves me over. I show her my QR code. “Oh! HEY,” she shouts at the line. “IF YOU HAVE MOBILE TICKETS, YOU CAN JUST GO TO YOUR AUDITORIUM!”
“You don’t need to scan them?” I ask.
“Nope. We have your info.”
Well then.
THE PLOT: Amelie meets the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Wackiness ensues.
What a treat this is! A visual feast of set design and colors with a beautiful soundtrack to match. The script is clearly inspired by the Universal monster catalog, yet being a del Toro feature, the characters have more depth. There’s some silliness to force your brain to settle down about, but I really enjoyed it.
