Yesterday I saw Captain America: The First Avenger 3D at Vue Cinema Basingstoke.
The year is 1942 and America has joined the war, and a weedy and sickly Steve Rogers wants to join the armed forces to help win the war, but gets rejected on more then one occasion to his frustration, until a doctor sees something in him and enlists him as part of Project Rebirth, which is an experiment to create super soldiers, thus transforming Rogers from weakling to a man of maximum human potential. He is initially misused as a propaganda tool, but he changes that when he risks his life and saves many prisoners of war and shows he is a hero.
If you have been watching the recent Marvel superhero movie you will know that they are all building up to the Avengers movie which is out May 2012 in the UK, and this is a good part of the story explaining the creation of Cap and what happened during the war, and his discovery in present day.
The 3D was reasonable considering this wasn’t filmed in 3D, although could have been better…although the images behind the credit at the end were well done….and speaking of the credits, stay right until the end of the of them, yet again Marvel have added something that you might like to watch at the end!
Captain America is rated 12A, also available to view in 2D and is in cinemas in the UK now.
