【英语时差8,16】麦克和亚曼达正在聊去看电影

Mike: Hey Amanda, are you doing anything this weekend?

Amanda: I don't have any special plans. Why?

Mike: There is a new movie coming out. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?

Amanda: What kind of movie is it?

Mike: It's a science fiction movie. I read the review and it said the story is pretty good, and the special effects¹ are supposed to be incredible². I was hoping we could go to an IMAX theater.

Amanda: Wow, an IMAX theater. Are the tickets going to be more expensive?

Mike: A little, but this movie is going to be in 3D, so I think the larger screen is worth it. We are going to have to get there pretty early if we want to get good tickets.

Amanda: I hate standing³ in line, especially with my leg in this cast⁴. Why don't you order the tickets online?

Mike: I never thought about that. If I order the tickets online, we could pick them up a little earlier and maybe have lunch before the movie.

Amanda: Lunch sounds nice, but I don't want anything too big. I want to save room for popcorn⁵.
