The matrix movie capture and the old fashioned spinning animation machine are both really cool. Theyre next to each other too.
Hollywood Costume exhibit a disapointment - too many for the session, poor layout, no traffic flow and bizarre construction in heavy flow points. Go during the week.
The matrix style video thing is awesome. Make your own slow motion fight scene
Great exhibition and cinemas
The Movie costume exhibit is highly recommended.
gotta check out the matrix 360 degree movie maker. Mad fun.
Great exhibition space
lively show

A lot of interactive attractions
