Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

I was in the mood to see a movie and when I checked what was playing locally last night I was shocked to find my theater, the one that so usually only dabbles in the "mainstream" and leaves the more special interest films out in the cold actually had a single showing of the new DBZ flick Animegamer told me about months ago.
I just had to see an anime flick in a theater once.
The theater was packed. Zero kids thankfully. They were all around my age.
Tons of them were wearing their Dragon Ball shirts and hats. I was surprised to see how many other women were present. (although I suppose some of them may have simply been dragged along for the ride by their other half, ala 50 shades of gray) They even had a behind the scenes look with the voice actors before the film started, and a trivia game. I'm a tad embarrassed that I got all but one right myself. 
I loved it. I always figured that if you grinded Dragonball into it's most entertaining parts and got rid of all the filler, you'd have a fun time and Resurrection F is proof of that. I'd also have to say it was better than "battle of the gods" in that Goku actually got a shred of development as a character. The animation techniques have definitely improved and the action was easily a cut above anything seen in the shows.
Seeing all of it on the big screen with excellent speakers was a hoot. Everyone was laughing and cheering the whole way through.
There are tons of in jokes and references and fan service. Though I was mildly dismayed to find Regal was charging full 3D ticket price for a 2D picture, the experience was memorable and I'm glad i went. Recommended if you have it in your area.
