After months of facing trailer leaks, tepid reception from fans and criticism from TV pundits, Inhumans will finally premiere on IMAX screens near you this week. Just last night, ABC and IMAX kicked its worldwide premiere off by celebrating in Universal City Los Angeles, inviting cast, crew, family, journalists and fans alike to view the much anticipated season’s first two episodes in IMAX. And in a refreshing turn of events, the reactions that surfaced online not soon after towards the premiere turned out positive! Here are some we spotted:

Much more intriguing than one may have originally thought. I was a little surprised by how interested I was, even if it’s predictable — ︽✵︽ Thanos ︽✵︽ (@FightOnTwist) August 29, 2017

I had a good time. I feel like it was worth me driving two hours, so take that into your considerations. I think it’s gonna be fun. — ︽✵︽ Thanos ︽✵︽ (@FightOnTwist) August 29, 2017

As a show, it works. It’s cheesy, but in a way that works for Marvel shows. It is easily worth a season of your time if you do S.H.I.E.L.D. — ︽✵︽ Thanos ︽✵︽ (@FightOnTwist) August 29, 2017

Got a chance to see the first two episodes of @theinhumans in Imax tonight. Really enjoyed it. I can't spoil anything, but it's fun. — 𝙼𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚠 𝚁𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚐 (@AshcanPress) August 29, 2017

So the operative idea we’re getting with these IMAX reactions is that the first two episodes are just plain fun. Some of these IMAX reactions align with one of the points made by an early pilot review, saying that the character interactions and dynamics are what make this show worthwhile. While impartial, the said early pilot commended the show for doing a great job selling the family element of the show. Based on these comments, it seems like that fun family aspect will be present in the entirety of the season. We could see Inhumans go the way of the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; a show burdened by the bar and expectations set by the cinematic universe it inhabits that will exponentially improve once it finds its true footing. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started with the same tepid reception and it’s now easily one of the best offerings in the MCU. The team at MCUExchange always been vocal about our apprehension with Inhumans ever since footage started coming in, and even though we still are very cautious going in the theater, these comments no doubt give us something to look forward to in the first episodes.
