Up in the Air by sadd3j
Sam and I, amidst the snowstorm last night, went to catch Up in the Air playing at Silver City Richmond Hill. It was way in the back of their theatres and there was only one couple and one other person aside from us. The screen quality was dimmer, more traditional, almost like there was a vignette around the whole screen and the contrast was too high, but it kind of added to the movie (unless it was the actual movie itself, but I don’t think so).
The movie itself was excellent, I can’t really say much more than that since I wouldn’t want to ruin it as I experienced it, but I highly recommend it. I would also recommend not reading any synopsis, because it was really great watching it with no preconceived notions or any idea what would happen and watching it unfold.
I’ve wanted to see it since I first saw the previews before TIFF and finally lucked out that it’s playing so close. I walked in not even knowing if it was a semi-documentary, or what, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It’s out on DVD March 9, and I’ll probably pick up a copy somewhere down the road.
