Merv and I did a double yesterday - we watched Monsters vs Aliens (in 3D) and Terminator Salvation.

Monsters vs Aliens
It was my first time watching a movie in 3D and I must say that it was an interesting experience. Merv of course, had been really enthusiastic about it for days (“We’re going to watch MvA in 3D!!!!!!!!!” - cue for me to roll eyes lol.) Tickets cost RM15 each (RM5 more than the usual price). I confess that I was expecting something like the cheapo flat 3D glasses you get out of cereal boxes - I had a pair once :D - but not so! What we got was a pair of canggih looking Dolby 3D glasses that look like this:

So I did a bit of googling (what would we do without google??) and found out that there are multiple coatings on each lens to filter out particular frequencies of light; and each lens lets through only a particular set, different for each eye. They cost quite a bit too, which is probably why we had to return them after the movie (Merv was so disappointed - he wanted to keep them!)

Terminator Salvation
As for Terminator - it was ok lah. Entertaining throughout, but I’ve never been a big fan of the Terminator movies anyway. I did particularly enjoy the part where a certain CGI-ed character put in a cameo :D And the robots were cool! Check out the moto-terminators!

Star Trek
And while we’re on the subject of movies… I thought that Star Trek was AWESOME!! And 70% of the reason it is so AWESOME (for me, that is :P) is the new Mr Spock :D I was never drawn to Zachary Quinto in his role as Sylar in Heroes (never even got round to watching Season 2 haha)… but as Spock… oh my! Be still, my heart…

Isn’t he a hunk? Siighhh….
