A learning experience

Lorcan Dempsey

We have just come back from seeing X-Men: the last stand at the very congenial Studio 35 (where you can have beer and pizza while watching movies).
In the opening action sequence, Wolverine seems more casual than his life-threatening situation warrants. However, it turns out that they are participating in a simulation, a learning experience for the students at the school for mutants. An interesting example of ‘learning technology’ in the mainstream.
