Cosplayers cosplaying The Wolverine and The Silver Samurai during the event. I don’t really want to give away anything during the movie….but… this one’s a pretty good give away. |
So it’s only 7 days before The Wolverine shows in Cinemas (July 25). If you have been following the blog you would notice that I already have a couple of posts featuring the upcoming stand alone sequel. So I won’t be blogging about the movie itself but this fun event that Paul and I got invited to attend.
This was actually my first assignment as a GeekMatic contributor so I was doubly excited. 🙂

In Keeping with the theme of the event, the cocktails that were served had ‘sake’ since ‘The Wolverine’ is set in Japan. Paul just loved that! |
So this was the ‘Be the Wolverine Kinect Experience’ where guests were encouraged to play The Wolverine game on X-Box 🙂 and was held in Robinson’s Cinema World.
It was a really fun game since you would really get ‘The Wolverine’ experience since you are on board a moving bullet train and slashing through signs and bad guys. Guests were challenged in a good old – highest score wins match!
Both the gents and the ladies stepped up to give it a go – oh did I mention that limited edition ‘The Wolverine’ items were up for grabs as well as movie posters for those who got the five highest scores? 😛 That just made the deal even sweeter for the eager guests who took turns getting that Wolverine experience.
For those of you who want to get that Wolverine experience also – fret not since the game will be available in a number of Robinson’s Cinemas (Robinson’s Movieworld) Check out the Schedule and details below!

Boys with their toys. Adamantium Claws battle against Samurai Swords and Ninja Kunai in the movie- The Wolverine. |
|
One of the players – trying out the game – and he even brought his own Adamantium Claws! |
I also tried the game, after the winners were announced and all- I got a pretty high score and would have easily been in the top 5 – too bad I didn’t join 😛 but it did give me pretty sore arms even a day after! But it’s still a good exercise to tone those arms 🙂
|
ITADAKIMAS! Japanese food was also served during the event. |
I was really impressed because the event was really well thought out off, even serving Japanese dishes (from Yoshinoya and Miso-Ten) and cocktail drinks packed with Sake in them, in keeping with the theme of the movie which is set in the good old Rising Sun – Japan!

Yep – Logan has always been the lady’s man. Who can resist that pectoralis major? |
The winners with their ‘The Wolverine’ posters. Yup even two ladies made it in the top five – besting other guys who vied for a spot in the coveted top five! 😛
The Wolverine slashes it’s way in Cinemas on July 25, and is distributed by 20th Century Fox.
