Thor

Movie: Thor (IMAX 3D)

Genre: super-hero

Synopsis: Thor (Chris Hemsworth) gets carried away in trying to provoke a war and is stripped of his powers and banished to Earth by his father, King Odin (Anthony Hopkins).   This gives his evil borther the chance to try and take control of Asgard.  When he lands on Earth, Thor is found by Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), a physicist.  His missing hammer is found and ‘captured’ by a government unit headed by Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg).  You may remember Agent Coulson from Iron Man and Iron Man 2.  Jane and her sister and her partner eventually believe in Thor and help him try to reclaim his Hammer and b ecome the man (god?) that his father was hoping for.

My two cents: Wow!  I saw this in IMAX 3D – totally worth it.  Chris Hemsworth is a natural as Thor.  He has a natural cockiness and brashness that is great fun to watch.  There are some really great battles.  When Thor gets wound up, it is a real blast to watch.  I felt it was a toss-up as to whether or not 3D was necessary for  this movie -  but if you get a chance to see it in IMAX,  definitely do it.  I hope to see a lot more of Thor.
