The Gladiator II New York City advance movie screening at AMC Lincoln Square 13 IMAX theater
Last night we attended the Gladiator II New York City advance movie screening at AMC Lincoln Square 13 IMAX theater thanks to @youtubecreators and it was an amazing experience to be able to see this incredible #GladiatorII at the largest IMAX theater in the United States.
Gladiator II is definitely a must-see action packed stunning sequel to the legendary Gladiator movie with incredible characters including a stellar performance by Paul Mescal as Lucius, who definitely rose to the challenge of returning the glory of Rome to its people as did Russell Crowe as Maximus in the 2000 movie. Denzel Washington was also amazing as was the scenery, special effects and music.
At this special advance screening for YouTube for the Gladiator by Paramount Pictures we not only were able to see During the event we not only also had a chance to see the costumes that the actors wore during the filming but we also got to pose with "Gladiators" and even eat Gladiator-themed snacks including popcorn served out of a model of the colosseum.
Gladiator II is certainly a must-see! #gladiatorII #imax Here is the link to watch our video of the advance screening events:
