"Godzilla Minus One" at Flix Brewhouse

About an hour or so ago, I made it back home after spending the night in Albuquerque in my motorhome at Route 66 Casino RV Resort, where I went to see Godzilla Minus One.

The theater I selected was something I never experienced before. It is called Flix Brewhouse and it is located off Coors Avenue in the northern end of Albuquerque.

For one thing, Flix Brewhouse has its own pub that serves beer, wine and margaritas. They also have snacks there as well. I tried their onion rings and they were excellent. I was treated to a free sample of sparkling wine and orange juice. I could have had a beer, but I figuered that would not be a good idea. Who wants to go pee during the middle of the movie?

They also have waiter/waitress service for theater-goers. They have a scanning system or one can just push a service button and their server will come and take the order. This way, viewers don't have to leave for refreshments, everything is taken care of at the viewer's seat. Either way, they set up a tab for each patron with their credit or debit card.

As for the movie, it was everything people have been saying about it. It was the Godzilla movie everyone's been waiting or. A great mix of human drama and monster action. I was even impressed with the make-up job on those who were killed by Godzilla on Odo Island. For once, dead bodies actually looked like dead bodies. The Japanese CGI special effects are now on a par with those of Hollywood's. It is the best Godzilla movie since the 1954 original. My grade: A+.

Before the movie started, we were treated with clips from past Godzilla movies. Many of them I have never seen on the big screen before, this was an added treat.

If one can, try to go see it on the big screen or IMAX while it is still running.

After heading back to the Route 66 Casino RV Resort, I called for a shuttle to take me to the casino to have dinner at ThunderRoad Steakhouse. I had a nice prime rib dinner. I have been craving prime rib for some time and finally got that craving satisfied.

It was a nice little trip.
