Star Trek (2009)--The Saga
God tested me to go see this movie.
1.) The IMAX theater is in another state--an hour away, yes, but still another state. Crossed state lines to see a movie. Lawdamercy.
2.) About 20 miles away from the theater I need to get gas and the signs were not clear so I got off at the wrong exit and then people can't drive on the right exit so I had a slight brush with road rage.
3.) About ten miles away from the theater (and 30 minutes before the movie is posted to start) there is an accident. My friend is an EMT, so she asks me to pull over (I was driving) so she could assist. This took about 15 minutes and the guy was fine, possible concussion. \o/ @ friend saving the day, but time is of the essence!
5.) 100 yards from the accident there is backup. We crawl for about two miles. Fifteen minutes now down to ten and we are still 8 miles away from the theater.
6.) We FINALLY reach the theater. I let out friend and her boyfriend so they can get us seats (Fandango, you rock, for we didn't have to wait in line) and I drive around the lot almost twice trying to find a parking space, which I do. So why do I come into the theater and my friend is telling the me the movie has already started and it's basically a quarter of the way in?
o.O
The movie has already started and it's a quarter done?
Can I tell you what time we reached the theater? At the time the movie was supposed to start EXACTLY. Even funnier, the lady said the previews were short --only two of them!
I counted three. Basic math is basic and fundamental.
BUT, if you know about Fandango, you cannot get an exchange or a refund for your ticket. Heh. Except not only did we get an exchange, we also got a refund, so we saw the next showing (three hours later) for free. And you know what? It was so good I think I'll pay to see it next time. :-D
