We went to see the Astro Boy movie tonight. It was not crowded. At the 9:30 show on opening night there were 6 people.
Hopefully, for the sake of the people who made it, it will be more popular with kids and people will go tomorrow.
I really liked the movie. The art work is fantastic.
I’ve really been looking forward to this movie, and I’m not sure why. I don’t have any memories of watching the show when it was on 40 years ago. I don’t remember ever reading the comic.
It’s a famous comic/anime, so I’ve know of it.
A few months ago when we were at the movies, the preview for it came on.
Before they said the name of the character, or showed him on screen, I knew what movie it was.
“They’ve made an Astro Boy movie!?!” was my reaction.
I don’t know why it has such recognition for me.
It was an animated show on in the US when I was very young. (Under 5.)
Perhaps my sister watched it when I was young? It is the sort of thing she liked.
I can tell you which episode of Star Trek I first saw. (The Paradise Syndrome)
I can tell you the theater where I first saw Star Was. (Brockton)
I can tell you when I first read The Hobbit. (5th grade)
But, this has that sort of feel for me of something I’ve liked since a kid. But, I just don’t remember even knowing about it as a kid.
It’s very strange.
I still like the movie.
