I'm sorry you didn't have a good time, but the concept of the event still impresses me a lot - I'd like to see more stuff like this in the future!

I've read from another person that went and she seemed to have had a great time! So maybe it was just a matter of perspective and personal expectations and whatnot. Seems like this was a star studded event, but who would know with everyone in clown make-up, haha! ;)
This experience is fairly high concept. I'm with you, Champi, I wouldn't mind seeing more experiments with these types of events later on.

This event seemed like a *really* cool thing to be a part of! I wish something like that could happen here in California!
Looking forward to the screening in September, though.

Wow that looks awesome. Wasn't there another show today? Cool you get to keep the Adidas wear. Is there something saying "Don't Think Immersive" on it? Let's see them pop up on ebay.

Dunno, maybe some athletes were there, I saw a girl with "Team GB" written on her sweatshirt, but I couldn't recognize anyone, even among those who didn't wear make-up or a mask. But it would be pointless if they aren't fans of the band anyway.
I can't say I didn't have a great time, I did during the screening but I just couln't share it with anyone. Most of the people were really unreactive, even when the opening synthline in HBHG dropped. When I thought they were screaming, it actually came from the audio of the concert. I managed to hug dotman anyway.
I forgot to mention the confettis, they dropped at the beginning of Leave Home.

That does sound a bit depressing. Like when I saw it in Sydney, I just wanted to jump up and dance and most people just sat eating popcorn.
Further Remixed There's nothing else...

Way to take one for the team bloke.
The event seems like a good idea but the timing seems poor. Obviously, this would have fit nicely with the premiering of "Don't Think" , but 4-5 months later? hmmmm.....
Plus, shouldn't this type of thing be happening at major music festivals. The clown makeup and trainers alone would make great viral marketing. I know the Coachella community would eat this up like crazy.
For what it's worth, I would need a few drinks in me before that clown makeup would go on my face.

I feel you bro.
My experience with "Don't Think" was far from special. I sat in theater with a total of 5 people (the theatre could seat a little over 100+). Me, my brother, and 3 random blokes that arrived late and left early. Depressing to say the least. I did the most to enjoy myself by dancing in my seat and conducting the songs like I was a conductor (which I tend to do at the live shows when I get carried away). But there was no love. I guess it's partially my fault though. I missed out on the big Chicago viewing due to a family emergency. However, was able to catch the premier of my local showing the following weekend. I just didn't imagine it was gonna be that empty. Kinda gives me clarity that the suburb I've been living most of my life is a piece of shit.
Superflash was wank worthy though.

Reminds me of when I went to see the movie at my local cinema. The audience consisted of myself, my sister, two couples who seemed to be into it, a guy in a green beanie live-blogging the film, and what appeared to be his dad, who spent the entire movie playing with his iPhone.

It was quite the same for me when I went to the screening in the cinema. We weren't a lot, I think a few peope couldn't make it in time because it snowed on that day. I almost couldn't arrive there either, I had to go to the underground station by foot, my bus had to stop.
I was with Chemicalmat, his girlfriend and some friends of theirs who didn't know the Chems. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be a lot of fun since we were only a few people, and all sitting. What disappointed me the most was the sound, really awful for a concert screening.
But THAT event in London, we weren't in cinema conditions, we were in concert conditions, hundreds of people, all standing, some already drunk...there's nothing that can justify the way it turned.

lots of photos !

Looks like it was really cool. Everyone with the clown make-up or a clown mask, visuals from the concert projected on a screen on the side, the dancing guy, the baloons from Saturate, the Doctor...

I love the Chemical Brothers but this looks like some kind of terrifying trip.
EDIT: I guess the reason this wasn't as awesome as it could have been was that it's basically an Adidas commercial, piggybacked on Don't Think. Maybe if just the Adidas jackets were mandatory and the clown makeup was optional it would have been a little more concerty and a little less... weird?
It looked really cool anyway, based on the videos (but again, it's basically a commercial, so it's supposed to look cool).
