John Wick 4 is a goddamn masterpiece of spliced cinematography, visual design, sets, setting, camerawork, and trippy music. It is a tad bit long, with seemingly endless violence, and Wick going more than a little bit super human. It is also super comical, in that it watches like a comic book movie come to life. 

The choice of locations is spot on, and they have captured the vibe of each location insanely well, especially Osaka, my absolute favourite. Japan is the most beautiful country on earth.

8/10

Watched The Flash at IMAX at Mall of India Noida yesterday. Much better seats and leg space than IMAX citywalk.

 

Opening sequence was quite cool. Liked the movie but it just dragged a little at the end. Overall nice entertaining watch and much better than other DC Movies.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

 

The idea that movies used to be more "cinematic" is not new. Home video is still quite young in its total lifetime, compared to movies at the cinema. In that sense, there used to be a sort of underscored bargain struck between the people, viewers, and the creators thus: the people would pay money and make effort to get their asses to the cinema, and the makers would offer them an experience. A cinematic experience. A mini trip to fantasy land. A vibe. And few makers have done that better than Coppola. 

 

The colours, the projections, the dresses, the theatricality of the actors, the ham-ish dialogs, the 1897 setting, and the score, all brought in to create this magical vibe that truly transported me into Transylvania and London of that time, into the count's castle, and onto the streets.

 

I chanced upon this movie in an airplane, and even though I watched most of it because I was engrossed, I knew I wanted to watch it again in a setting that could do justice to the potential experience the movie offers. It did not disappoint. 

 

The movie has a very young Reeves, Winona Ryder in a goddam performance, Gary Youngman as the namesake and Coppola's mind working on the words of the original 1897 book to make it come to life. It is smoky, steamy, sexual, weird, dark, gory, posh, and majestic all the same. Dracula.  Watch it in the best a/v set-up you have. Enjoy.

Re-watched Top Gun Maverick today. Really really hope this gets another run at IMAX in near future. 

 

Best in-theatre experience I've had with any movie. I've seen it home again like you, will def pay to watch in IMAX again if possible.
