The story is basically what we were promised and Thor has lost just a bit of weight, but it all takes place in murky English grassland and is a little less silly than Ragnarok. Despite having my phone switched off, the projection would keep halting and/or syncing up with it - an issue that would only get worse when I sat myself closer to the screen because this auditorium is kind of like Prince Charles meets Rich Mix - leaving everyone mocking me and me getting booted out. I broke into a fit of childish rage about this, being the autistic manchild I am.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Cinema’s longest post-marketing movie delays list

[youtube id=pfAhQSz-j_o] Trailer debut: April 4th 2019 Original release: August 23rd 2019 New release: April 17th 2020 Difference: 239 days Between trailer and release: 380 days Reasons: Delayed to January 10th to avoid being released in such a close proximity following more familiar family fare releasing in August, including STX's Playmobil: The Movie, or attracting comparisons to the Bautista vehicle Stuber or the machismo of Hobbs & Shaw, and to attempt to one-up their marketing game after the failure of UglyDolls. Later delayed to March 13th, and then April 17th (over a year after its first trailer premiered) just a week before release and when it had already screened to critics, presumably in response to the sudden delay of No Time to Die and the subsequent release change for Trolls: World Tour. Benefits: This studio has not been a particularly successful one lately, so this decision is understandable, even if constantly pushing this film is not exactly as loving a treatment as they think it is. Flaws: Weeks later, STX would delay Playmobil to December, having not marketed the film in any shape or form, leaving August devoid of releases from the studio. This does not spell a promising outcome for STX or for the young audience who was anticipating it, especially given that Playmobil was a massive flop and that a Blu-Ray rip surfaced the week of its US release did not help whatsoever. Delaying the film so suddenly and so repetitively just adds to the problem, and will just alienate audiences who have seen the trailer constantly not to mention fall under the same piracy conundrum as Playmobil, given that the film already kept its Australian release in January without any further hassle.

For some reason, Prince Charles decided to screen this again as a relaxed screening (and by "relaxed" they meant they actually laid out beds for the audience to sleep in while the movie was playing), and while the script was as mediocre as I remember, the movie was totally different from a thematic and visual standpoint. All the background aliens were animated in a form of unique, stylised, almost childlike hand-drawn animation and there was a broad allegory on prejudice at play.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: The sound was in no way realistic and the third reel spent its first few minutes out of place, so the audience knew which shots were letterboxed and which were Academy ratio, but the print was quite clean overall.
