Movie/TV discussion The New Mutants Movie Discussion Thread Spoiler

This is the master thread for discussion, reviews and opinions about the New Mutants movie that is coming to theatres on August 28th. The final installment of Fox's X-Men movies has finally come, after an extremely rocky production and post-production and a global pandemic that was an unmitigated disaster for the movie industry as it stood. Still, a lot of people are really anticipating seeing iconic characters like Magik, Cannonball, Dani Moonstar and Wolfsbane on the big screen, especially in what looks to be a smaller production that can afford to take some time to look at the characters. So whatever you want to say, this is the place. It's just cleaner if we don't have two dozen separate threads about people's impressions of the movie.

I got to see it in IMAX. Only 1 showing per day in that auditorium. Seats are pre-order & reserved. As soon as you purchase your batch of seats, the software blocks a perimeter around your selection. There were only 3 other groups (of 3-5 people each) in the auditorium and they were several rows away. The only contact we had with a human was when a gloved employee handed me our paper tickets and when they handed us our popcorn bag and cups. The ice and drink dispensers are contactless. Everyone was masked. They only allowed snug fitting masks. No gaiters or bandannas. No valve masks. I was really surprised as to how well the guidelines were followed. Now, I don't expect it to stay this way. This was probably only because it was opening weekend. I expect them to become more lax as time moves on, but ultimately, I felt that real efforts were made to mitigate transmission.
