Hunger Games: query

I have the option of trying to see The Hunger Games tonight after The Crime Fighter has been put to bed. I would likely choose a theater really close to home and with a start time between 7:30-8. It's a 2 hour 22 min. long film and I'm going to work Monday... 

Alternatively: I could consider using some of my comp time that I earned today by leaving work early and seeing a matinee at The Commons theater, then going home at a normal-ish hour.

I think I like Plan 2 better. However--if I have someone who wants to come with me, it would likely sway my decision. What say the peanut gallery?

it made me queasy

A and I went to see it on Sunday, and on the whole I thought it was a pretty good adaptation.

I have a serious beef w/ the director's use of handheld cameras, though. The herky-jerky style starts w/ the opening scene, and probably 70-80% of the movie is filmed that way.

I'd strongly recommend sitting in the rear third of the theater, especially if you go to the a big-screen place.
