On Monday, I played hookie with a friend and went to see National Treasure. My rating of a movie is basically very simple. If I find myself leaving the movie feeling entertained and I did not check my watch to see what time it is or how much longer until the end, then it is a good movie. With that said, I have to say I liked National Treasure and thought it was good. Was there many parts which were implausible? Yes. But then too this is fiction. Did I like the storyline? Yes, but it could use some work. The movie ran for 2 hrs. 4 mins. so you would think it would be tighter, but it still passed the feeling entertained and time check.
This was the first time I went to see a movie shown with Digital Light Processing (DLP) and I found it to be impressive. I was surprised with the quality of the picture and how clear, bright, and vivid it was. I would not want to see an old film converted to this process and take away from the classic film look and feel. However, in a new movie and one with a lot CG, it would very enjoyable.
I saw the trailer for the new Narnia movie to be released this year and I look forward to playing hookie and seeing on the big screen in DLP.
