We used to go to the movies quite regularly in the before times. We tried to get out at least a couple of times a month. Since the shut downs, we have been keeping our movie night, but watching them at home.
The last movie that we saw in a theatre was back in March 2020 when we saw Onward. I wasn’t as impressed with it as some were but it was still enjoyable. We had seen some movies in the drive in since then. We saw New Mutants last fall, and the new Suicide Squad this summer.
We were getting ready to go back in September but then they had changed the rules and open up the theatres to the entire population, vaccinated or not. So we decided to pass for a while. They soon restricted access back to vaccinated only as the number again increased.
Our first movie back was the new James Bond film No Time to Die. It was a bit of an odd experience. The theatres used to include buffer space between guests but have dropped that so we had people who had bought the seats right next to us. Because there was the space, we shuffled over a seat to allow room.
I found this movie okay as well. Daniel Craig isn’t in my top three Bonds, and I was never a fan of the reboot when they brought him in. This had a lot of nice nods to older fans but, with this being Craig’s last film in the franchise, I am not sure how they will continue the series without another reboot. Which would be a shame as they have built up a really good supporting cast.
I suppose that we will have to see where they go from here.
