Went to Watch X-Men + Show U around Lund
Paid SEK90 to watch X-Men: The Last Standing. Not bad as the third sequel in the series. I especially like the battle between Prof X. and Grey/Phoenix: good special effects + super tense moments + just a nice bit of character development. Overall character development is a bit weak and those who don't read the comic might be a bit lost and have lots of questions unanswered (e.g. how did Prof X and Magneto fell out); and for those who read the comic, don't be disappointed to find that certain mutants are not what they supposed to be as depicted in the comic (how come Prof X. passed Juggernaut without the slightest feeling that they are half-brothers? Marrow is not a male!) If you haven't watched the movie in the cinema, please please stay till the credits finish playing... there is a surprise!
A bit disappointed abt the cinema though. The seats are large (a bit larger than GV's) and comfortable (with a lot of leg space). It's free seating so I was lucky that the cinema wasn't super full since I arrived late into the theater. The theatre is not equipped with Dolby Digital surround sound. The sound system felt weak; you can hear that it's just a pair of big speakers at the front (maybe with a pair of small ones at the rear of the theater, but definitely not digital surround sound).
Super nice timing: movie finished at 2030 and the sun was 1.5-2h to setting; I started to snap at Dormkyrkan basking in the golden ray. I have been waiting for the beautiful orange sunset rays for a long time. It has been cloudy and rainy most of this weeK.
