It's week two and I went to see my first movie in Japan today. It took me long enough. The theatre wasn't far from my temporary apartment in Roppongi Hills, it's less than 10 minutes walk which was really convenient. It was a bit pricey though, about 18Yen ($20.50USD), but the screen, sound, and seating was the best I've ever experienced. One interesting thing about this theatre is that when you buy a ticket you actually purchase a specific seat. I think this is the best idea ever. I get the seat I want, every time. Also, there was nobody in my seat when I got there even though the theatre was packed - I would like to see that happen in NYC. I am not sure if this is the case with most (every) theatre in Tokyo but I like the trend.
The movie I saw was Inception and it was brilliant. I love an intelligent movie that makes you think. Yes, the plot is unbelievable but the story is intricate and smart. I can't wait for my next movie adventure. I think I'm gonna see Salt when it airs. Oh, the movie was in English with Japanese subtitles. :-)
