News Burning Ambition Documentary

Saw it last night, i enjoyed it but a couple of things i questioned
1) Why was the music so quiet compared to the rest? Artistic choice maybe but i think its a bad one - think someone in my screening went to get a member of staff to check if the audio was working properly.
2) timelines all over the place, Bruces cancer came before him flying the plane for Somewhere back on tour

The music was loud af in my screen. My ears were ringing last night.
 
Saw it at an Everyman cinema last night, which was quite good as due to the small size of the screens it was almost full.
As everyone says, nothing spectacularly new there but was still an enjoyable 100 minutes watching them on the big screen.

Went with a lad from work who's into Arctic Monkeys, Reytons etc.. who, outside of the usual radio-friendly songs, knew nothing about Maiden. He really enjoyed it so it definitely works hooking the casual music fans, although I doubt many will be going to the cinema to watch it.

Oh so my local odeon didn't get the sound right, thats dissapointing. Some of the trailers they showed before were really loud and then when the first song of Burning Ambition played it was so quiet and thats the level of volume all songs were played at.

A funny thing happened in my screening. About halfway through, three middle aged women walked in and sat down. They were waving their phones about (with the flashlight on) and talking loudly for several minutes. I asked them to be quiet and was ignored so I had to turn on my inner Eddie and told them to shut up. A minute went by and it finally dawned on the three yapping idiots that they weren't watching The Devil Wears Prada 2 and they left.

LOL THEY DIDN'T LIKE STEVE PANTS AND MEN WITH LONG HAIR
 
Haven't they been recording all shows at the very least in audio form since AMOLAD? And as we've seen with TBOS Live Chapter they can use the footage that they stream on the screens during a show. I thought it's a safe bet that there are more than enough recordings and pro-shots for the recent tours.

Check the topic about the vault. There are some shows appearing at the moment and seems to be the stream on the screens

It took a while for me to figure it out but this morning I finally realised that this isn't a film about the albums or the music or any of that stuff. It's about the people. The people in the band and the people who love the band (and the impact it's had on them).

That's Maiden in a nutshell for me. It's about the joy they bring to the world, especially flying around to out of reach places to do a gig.
Their artistic merit isn't huge, but their heart is.
