>I saw Batman Returns last night… in iMAX.
I never want to see a movie any other way again.

I’d seen Polar Express in 3D last year. It was great, but didn’t really have anything to compare it to.
With this, it was just huge. It didn’t seem all that large to begin with, but it wraps around a bit so it takes up more of your peripheral vision. That seems to be the trick.

At first it took some getting used to, especially durring the fast action but by about 15 minutes in my eyes got established. I was immersed in the film.

So that was the technical aspect of the film. The actual quality of the film was excellent. I was very impressed. Much like Episode III pulled it all together for Star Wars, I expect great things from Batman from here on out.
The general premise was somewhat lame, but it allowed them to create the metaphor of drugs and the downfall of their city.

I think everything worked well as the antagonist was only a small part of the story, and doesn’t really turn out to be the real antagonist afterall…

Katie Holmes was lackluster, just not believable as a DA. From servants daughter to DA, while still looking about 22. Huh.
(exactly)

So I liked it very much. Go see it if you can, and if you can see it in iMAX — all the better. It’s only about 2-3 dollars more then a regular movie, but there’s no previews, the sound is groundshaking, and there’s assigned seats.
iMAX is bringing the cinema experience back to where it ought to be.
