I would like to voice my displeasure at Japan being the last country in the world to see Star Trek : Into Darkness released.

The fact that it comes about 2 weeks before my wife is due to deliver our 2nd kid means that I stand little to no chance of seeing it. Gah!

While I'm whinging, I'll also add a moan about the fact that Iron Man 3 was only showing in 1 screen here in Tsu, and it was the dubbed version. Didn't get a chance to see that, neither.

And people wonder why Internet piracy is booming?????

*edit* second last country in the world to get Pacific Rim.

These are the 3 films I wanted to see most this summer. Are there any others that folks would recommend?

Yeah, I'm not real happy about the Japan movie release dates either. At least in Nagoya I could see Ironman 3 subbed! Someone just told me the late release dates are so they can get the stars of the movie to appear on Japanese variety shows to promote it before it opens.

Yup, that's why I saw it in Hong Kong last weekend!

It won't make you feel any better, but it's great!

I'm not happy about it at all.

That's interesting.

I thought that maybe sci-fi and other genre films were more risky in Japan, so they wanted to wait and gauge anticipation before committing theatre venues and marketing expenses.
