[scifinoir2] Avatar to the IMAX
http://blackplush.blogspot.com/2010/04/avatar-to-imax.html It is hard to believe anything can surpass the experience of watching Avatar in 3-D. Then James Cameron and crew takes it up a notch and releases the movie in the IMAX format. And I am not talking about seeing it at some rinky-dink flat IMAX screen, I am talking about crystal clear images on a six-story-tall screen with wraparound digital surround sound at an IMAX® Dome Theater. Settling back in your stadium seat and seeing the movie unspool in front of you, above you and on either side of you is a transcendent experience. Filmed to take advantage of the full IMAX experience, Avatar has so much to engage the eye and ear it is sometimes hard to decide what to focus on. And all of it is spectacular, stupendous, marvelous - you lose track of superlatives. This format allows you to appreciate the proper scale of the ten-foor tall Navi and the majesty of Hometree. The flora and fauna is awe-inspiring and the predators are truly menacing. That was scary! my seventeen year-old daughter exclaimed as Jake Scully (Sam Worthington) made a hairbreadth escape. The photo-realism is stunning. With the world of Paradox literally wrapped around you, everything is heightened: the drama, the suspense; even the romance. You can actually look into Neytiri's face and see every facet of her large, expressive eyes. ~rave!

Could someone enlighten me on the difference between regular and really good IMAX? I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D. But I'm not sure now whether I could have had a different experience.

As I have yet to get around to seeing this (unforgiveable, I know), this saves me the regret of hearing about this after watching it in mere 3D.

Think of IMax as high resolution digital film. 3d Imax is high resolution 3d. Its the best way to see a 3d film.

Re: [scifinoir2] Avatar to the IMAX
Thanks, Mr. Worf. I guess I'm wondering whether there is a noticeable difference between digital IMAX and analog IMAX if such a thing still exists.

Re: [scifinoir2] Avatar to the IMAX
There are different types of IMAX. There are differences that you may notice but I believe that there are differences in all types of film and digital. For example technicolor vs cinemascope or Panavision. They all have a special look to it. The differences in analog IMAX and digital IMAX will also be different. There are things that you may see in a digital IMAX that you may not have seen analog because more information is being caught. I like to use the example of watching Will Smith in Ali and being able to see every single hair in his armpit. If it were analog I wouldn't really have noticed it because you would have recognized it as hair and moved on. Digital makes each hair stand out in the shot. It is a bit unnatural.
