Sanctum movie "club dive" Saturday, Feb 5

Post by ktb »

It was discussed earlier, but I'm putting a plan into motion. Sanctum opens Friday, Feb. 4 in IMAX 3-D and I think it would be fun to see it opening weekend with fellow NWDC'ers. I checked with AMC Southcenter, and there are no group discounts (I had to try), so it's just a matter of everyone purchasing their own tickets and showing up together if you want to make this a group outing. For that reason, I'm proposing we target the Saturday, Feb 5, 10:30 a.m. showing, which should give folks plenty of time to dive after the movie if they so choose. For those who don't know, Redondo, 3 Tree, and Cove 2 are all within a quick 20-minute drive from the theater. (I figured diving first meant the possibility of snoozing during the movie, smelling like the Sound the whole time, and fighting with more people for good seats.)

The details . . .
Saturday, February 5
10:30 a.m. showing
AMC Southcenter theaters (3rd floor fo the mall)
tickets are $12 and can be purchased here: http://www.amctheatres.com/Movies/Sanct ... xperience/
(you'll need to set the correct date once you hit the page)

And as a last incentive . . . I'll personally give you a prize if you wear your NWDC swag!! :joshsmith:

The Southcenter Mall is in Tukwila, Kriss. That's not nearly as far south as Tacoma. I was trying to pick a place that was fairly central with a 3D IMAX screen. :)

Ive had a bad experience going to the theater after a dive. Good movie but came out to see my truck and all the equipment inside it including my portable compressor were gone.
I do have opinions of my own,,,very strong opinions!,, I just don't allways agree with them.

For those of you wondering about the film, here's a brief review written by one of the stunt divers:

“Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.”

One line I found interesting from that review is ....

"They went from having zero diving experience to diving rebreathers, carrying stages and riding scooters, which is quite amazing. It is a testament to John Garvin and his excellent teaching skills as well as the pluck and fearlessness of the actors."

I'll be in Bend celebrating my dad's birthday, so I'm out :angry: ... perhaps I can talk my parents into seeing it if it's playing down there... if it is and I can, I'll wear my NWDC shirt and post a picture on FB.

Is anyone planning on diving after the movie? I'm up from Portland that day but I don't think I can make the movie start time due to some other business but would like to dive afterwards.
