I know this has been out for a while and because of that I wasn't going to post on the subject, but I just had to tell you about the version I saw at the weekend! I finally got to the Imax (in London's Waterloo) and saw the SUPERSIZE version of Superman Returns.
Basically the screen is equivalent to 8 double decker buses in length and 5 double deckers high! Standing at the front and looking up at the screen and then turning round made me dizzy! As if the size of it wasn't enough - the 3D sections were simply spectacular (there were 4 sequences, each lasting 4-5 minutes). I've seen 3D stuff before and it was rubbish, this WASN'T! I can't begin to describe how amazing the 3D sections were.
Its the 2nd time I've seen it and I liked it even more this time around!
I was 8 when Star Wars was released, but to this day, I still remember coming out of that cinema and being so on top of the world with what I had just watched. My dad still tells people how excited I was the night I first saw Star Wars, well coming out of the cinema last weekend I felt like it was 1977 all over again! (if only Batman Begins had been there too!)
If you live local enough to an Imax (and I know they're not exactly everywhere), you've got to see the massive 3D version.

When I was posting about buying my ticket for the midnight showing on release day for DK, I was certain I'd posted here before about how good the IMAX Cinema is.
For everything I've said about Superman above, (like most of us) you can double it and double it again when it comes to Batman. Superman is right up there with Spidey, Wonder Woman, FF, Hulk & Hellboy (and actually, on the whole, proudly sits before them all), but Batman is the reason I'm a comic addict. I never got to see Begins at the Imax (I was living and working in Newcastle at the time) so this will be my first experience of Batman on this scale.
I remember posting just after Heath died that I'd not even go if The Dark Knight was out that weekend; but I guess time makes things seem more acceptable, even if they remain just as tragic.
I've not been this excited about a film since 2005. I've probably only been this excited about a film maybe half a dozen times in my life.
Just reading the above post made me smile and get a bit choked all at the same time. Sadly my dad no longer tells people how excited I was when I left the cinema as Luke Skywalker, as we lost him just after Christmas. If I could tell him now that I was going to be turned out of a cinema at about 2am on a Friday morning, in one of the moodier areas of South East London, without a clue how I'd get home, just so I could see the new Batman movie; he'd smile, then tell me what an idiot I was. "Bloody Batman".
I can't wait..... |
