Epic movie intro?
I feel like I have to ask, I booked to see Verity last night in Epic at my local Vue, and was very surprised that when the preshow ended a spotlight came on and a member of staff came in to introduce the movie and a quick bit about why Epic was the best way to see it, before ending it with a vocal stim for the ages by going THIS, IS EPIC. Is that what usually happens with Epic showings? Everyone in the audience seemed really caught off guard by it and not sure whether they should laugh, applaud, or some combination of the two.
I didn’t hate it, it stands out as something a bit different, and a bit self aware of its own cringe. But it immediately made me wonder whether this was the case for all Epic showings at every venue.
