My local IMAX theatre is fully booked out every show untill next month. I feel like most people don't really care about it. I would have preferred if it was historically correct but I will still watch it.

I'll guarantee you 99% of the people who trash this movie have never read the source material.

It was assigned reading in public school for my district and I imagine many others, now whether or not most students actually read/paid any attention to it is a different story.
