Alright, so this one's getting typed up a little late. (As in, over a week later.) Well, we went to IMAX to watch the reconstruction of the Alamo battle. Since there were no survivors on the Texan side, nobody knows what really happened, but this movie tries its best to paint a picture of the events that transpired. Well, sort of. It does so with an extra large double dipping of cheesy dialog, emotional manipulation ("aw look; he's holding the hand of a child before going off to battle, therefore that must be one of the good guys"), and lofty platitudes.

There was quite a bit of nifty IMAX-scale photography of the Texas landscapes, on which the Alamo was recreated. And sitting in an IMAX theater is just fun, even if the content on the screen is obviously targeted mostly for J. Random Tourists, as opposed to those wanting a serious movie. I suppose it did have some educational value as well. It was a fun adventure.

"Get your Alamo Action Figures at the gift shop now!" (No, it didn't literally say that, but it almost could have. And there were Alamo action figures for sale in the gift shop. I saw them. Hahaha.)
