Movie Review: Glee 3D

This will be more than a review, but a full-on story….sit back and enjoy.

My friend Amanda and I decide to go see Glee 3D after work yesterday, so we load up and head to Beaumont to the “good” theatre to see the movie at 5:00. We show up get our goodies (goobers and Milk Duds) and head into theater, this is after miss don’t know her left from her right (me) gallivanted us all around the theatre looking for the stadium it was in, but let’s not worry we didn’t miss not one preview! We get in and try to find a seat; this was not hard considering we were the only 2 people in the whole movie. This was Amanda’s first 3D movie so luckily some of the previews were in 3D to prepare her for the absolute fabulous-ness of the Glee movie.

The movie begins and basically the premise is the Glee kids are so famous in their hometown that they get to go on Tour and that is what this is….their concert. However it just wasn’t the concert, it was also some backstage shenanigans of the Glee kids “in character” and 3 stories (documentary style) of 3 Glee fans, and how Glee has changed or helped their lives. It was super inspirational and the concert was phenomenal.

Down-sides, the wardrobe, the concert attire was a bit sad, but I see where they were coming from a small town (they had to stay in character---I guess). Another was no Sue Sylvester, Mr. Shoo or some of the characters we have loved in the original show, but then again….why would Sue Sylvester and her faithful side-kick Becky be at a show for a glee performance ----they wouldn’t ok, they just wouldn’t be there.

Up-sides, 3D….we felt we were in the audience with all the crazies that actually paid to go to the real concert, at times we would see a hand fly up and had to remind ourselves we were in the theatre alone. The BIG upside was us seeing this alone, we were animals …singing and dancing to all the songs after a song would end we would applaud and hoot and holler like we were one of the crazies that actually paid to go to the real concert.

So now the true questions: would I pay to go see this: probably not ---I love Glee, but considering it is only in 3D your option is to pay 8 dollars matinee or 9.50 regular ticket prices to see a concert movie….. It was still amazing though, just catch it on DVD J so you can sing and dance in your living room.

*it almost makes me sad I didn’t go see Justin Beiber’s 3D movie when it was out… ok maybe not ….
