I need some help from people who have seen MBV-3D

[nouveau_monday]

Okay, so, umm, i might be writing something and i might need some help. Can someone tell me who Kerr Smith played in the movie? I wasn't really aware that he was in it because everyone I know was talking about either the special effects or the jensen effects. mmmm ... special jensen effects. wait? what? where was i?

anyway, i'm maybe writing something where I need to know a bit about kerr smith's character in the movie. so, you know, if you've seen it, or if you know anything about his role, that'd be awesome if you could give me a quick summary. who he is, how he relates to jensen's character, how he relates to jaime king's character. yeah.

help me in my efforts to go to that special rps (and not even j2 rps) hell.

please and thank you.

ETA: also? when seeing a 3D movie are previews in 3D? I would think not, but I thought I would confirm with others.

ETA2: i'm asking for spoilers so don't read the comments unless you want to be spoiled.

Yes, the previews were in 3D.

Kerr played Axel. It's not totally clear whether Axel was a friend of Tom (Jensen's character) or whether they were just the kind of acquaintances that comes from being in the same peer group. They were also rivals over Jaime King's character, Sara(h?).

I don't know how much you want me to spoil the movie, but at the point where the main action of the movie takes place, Axel has married Sarah and is the town sheriff.

spoil away, i'll edit the post to make sure people know there are spoilers. so kerr is one of the big main characters?

Yeah. The pivot of the story is really the romantic triangle between Kerr, Jensen and Jaime. The first time The Miner appears, Axel (Kerr) hustles Sarah (Jaime) (who he has a crush on) into a truck and bails, leaving Tom (Jensen) behind.

When Tom comes back, ten years later, Axel has married Sarah (who felt abandoned by Tom) and they have a son. Axel has become the town sheriff and Sarah runs the grocery store owned by her parents.

Axel is depicted as a pretty big ass; he's unfaithful to Sarah (with a tweeny girl who works at the grocery) and he's knocked the girl up, he mouths off to a newspaper reporter, he doesn't seem to take the sheriff job too seriously, etc.

The movie plays around with the question of who's the killer: Axel or Tom, and it comes down to a showdown in the mine with Sarah and Axel on one side and Tom on the other. Axel gets hurt and Sarah ends up having to beat Tom. Axel and Sarah profess their love for each other and Tom escapes.

I posted my fic - in a fandom you don't read - but so far it's gotten rave reviews. Thank you again for the summary. It gave a ring of authenticity that I never could have created otherwise, even if it was just a few lines.

When I went to see Coraline in 3D the previews for Pixar's 'Up', 'Aliens vs. Monsters' and the new 'Ice Age' movie were in 3D. The others were not. So, I guess the answer is "Only if the movie being advertised will be shown in 3D."
