Theme: The man makes the machine and it is not the machine that defines the man. Tony Stark returns without his armour and has to make do with his own human skills to get by - at least in part of the movie.

Where: On Qantas Airbus Sydney to Perth in Sept 2013.

Audience: Alone in economy. Daytime flight from 1250pm to 4pm.

Sound: Sony Nice cancelling earphones

Activity: Modified yoga for aeroplane. Cycling in the air. Modified sit ups for airplane seat.

Multitasking: Reading journals and newspaper. Managed to cover journals and newspaper.

Like: Tony Stark's vulnerability and rashness that puts him in strife with the bad guy. I could not guess the outcome of the plot till the very end of the movie. At each stage I could not tell what was going to happen.
