AMC got me good when they announced this movie was coming back to theaters, it’s among my wife’s favs, both for the movie itself and it’s soundtrack, so we were definitely going to go see it. For $18 a pop.
It’s still a great movie and we got a single digital copy of it to fight over, as neither AMC nor Paramount has returned my messages about were the other code is. The CGI holds up for the most part, if only because of how sparingly they used it, and the soundtrack is still amazingly beautiful.
The story however, well you shouldn’t look too closely at that, I remember being frustrated by it 20 years ago and I’m still frustrated by it. For the love of god Rose, why didn’t you bring jack up on the board with you!? Why did you throw that rock into the water?
gah! the hopeless romantics will defend those parts of the movie (with good reason) but it still bothers me.
