I thought I'd tell you a bit more about Moscow in here...
The thing we were most amazed by was the audience reaction to different bits of the film. They all burst out into a round of applause after Kaneda's death - like they thought it was such a great scene that they had to show their appreciation (not because they were happy he died! ).
The bit they laughed at that I always find funny is when Mace, Corrie and Cassie are in the corridor talking about needing to lose 'breathers'. Mace asks Corrie if she thinks they should let Trey kill himself - and the audience tittered - then Corrie says, 'No! Besides Trey isn't enough, we'd have to lose two more.' and they all laughed. I find that hilarious as well. Corazon, this Earth Mother-like woman who worships her plants, can be so matter of fact about killing off her friends! Haha!
Another point they laughed at which was interesting was on Icarus 1 after the ships have been undocked, Capa is being put into the suit and Harvey comes back from the Garden. Harvey says something like, 'Why Capa? I am the captain!' and Searle says, 'Harvey, Capa's the only one who knows how to operate the bomb. There's no choice.' And Harvey says, 'There might not be a choice for you... Capa! Get out of the suit!' and the audience laughed! We thought that perhaps it was because he was showing himself up to be weak... and as Captain he should have been prepared to, like Kaneda, sacrifice himself or 'go down with the ship' or otherwise, well, be a *captain*...
At the end, in Sydney, when Capa's V/O says 'So if you wake up one morning and it's a particularly beautiful day...etc' and then the Sun brightens - they all burst out into a huge round of applause *before* the film finished. I've only ever heard audiences clap from when the screen goes black and Underworld's song starts. So that was cool.
The press junkets were good as well. I asked Danny if they were asking any different questions and he said, 'They are more like the French in that they asked more intelligent questions about the film than anywhere else.' Brian said that they were quite challenging when talking about the science in the film.
