Last night I was able to catch 17 minutes of exclusive footage of “Guardians of the Galaxy” in the IMAX theater downtown (Providence RI). It was part of a marketing ploy to get people excited and talking about the film before its release on Aug 1, and let me tell you, it worked.  I am so pumped to see it on the 1st that I might go wait in line for Imax 3D tickets right meow. The film is colorful, funny, and action packed with witty dialogue and a cast of characters that can be best described as “different”.  While Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and Peter Quill (Starlord [Chris Prat]) steal the show in this 17 minute appetizer, the other characters don’t lack in the least. All of them have their own strengths, weaknesses, and personalties which will help make for a well-rounded plot and excellent group chemistry. From what I gathered from this screening you might even see some of Marvels other supers groups in this or future movies (him hint). Get your tickets for “Guardians” in advance, you’ll be glad you did.
