Back from the preview. It was a sizable crowd; didn't know that Dayton could muster an army like that. But I think I enjoyed that 17 minutes more than any other film I've seen so far this year.
Groot ripping the battery out of the wall as Rocket's talking about it, good lord.

Just came from the preview. I must say I was really impressed by the IMAX 3D conversion. It looked fucking top notch and I have seen my shares of shitty 3D conversions, this one was legit. I am definitely seeing this in IMAX 3D. Great preview but the poster was whatever. I would of loved it more if it only had the movie logo on it and not the preview info and facebook page.
Here's a pic I took of it

Did anyone catch the Lloyd Kaufman cameo? I missed it.

Holy Shit! I was dreading that it might fall a little bit flat, with the characters sounding a bit snarky. It was hilarious and the 3D was brilliant. This movie has to be seen in 3D.
Great introductions for Groot, Rocket and Drax.

Starts with the five being processed and sent to the Kyln. The 17 minutes was just them breaking out.
Don't worry, I've got you all covered. Just give me a bit to boot up the computer.

Fairly large turnout here in Livonia, MI. Many kids, a couple were carrying GOTG toys as well.

Anyone at the Emeryville, CA theater?
Just got here, line is longer than I expected.

Close! Dublin, CA.
My theater in MD was mostly full, about 90%?
I'm going to see this but something felt off or missing, maybe I wanted more of a set-up to the piece instead of an explanation of them post-converting it to "IMAX" standards. 3D was pretty shadowy and I was sitting near the middle.
Is it true that the movie is mainly a Rocket film?

I'm estimating that there are about 150 people here right now, and it's about 40 min till movie time.
Edit: closer to 200 w/ 30 minutes remaining.

Does
Starlord steal from The Collector thus creating a lead in for GotG to meet the established marvel u?

It is implied that Gamora, Drax, Quill and Rocket/Groot were all trying to steal the same orb when they got caught. I don't know if it was from The Collector.
Did that preview have shaking seats? The preview at Disneyland was 3D and had shaking seats which made the entire experience incredible.

Goddammit, why can't there be a D-BOX theater near me. I need D-BOX in my life.
Mine didn't, but that would have been awesome.
No shaking seats at my theater's preview, but there is D-Box at the theater.
The cast was great, but Rocket stole that whole preview. Bradley Cooper did a great job with voicing him. I feel like he's going to be the big standout. Then again, a wise-cracking, gun-toting raccoon
would probably do that.
We've only been introduced to Peter Quill's comedic side. Chris Pratt can act, so I don't have any doubt about his serious side. So far, he's been perfect.
Zoe Saldana does a good job playing Gamora. She didn't have much lines in the preview, but she kicks ass anyway.
Vin Diesel's voice is perfect for Groot. So many ways to say "I Am Groot."
Dave Bautista as Drax was initially questionable. He looked like he was just going through the motions. But basing off the trailers and the latter part of the preview, he looks like he really bounces off the cast just fine.

Oh God-imagine a GOTG ride in Tommorowland.
