Superman Returns On IMAX

At long last.. Was able to watch Superman Returns yesterday! As early as 9 AM my brother and I were already at the IMAX Theater. Straight to the entrance of the theater.. Didn't bother to get something to eat.. Thought we're already late for the 9 AM screening. Well.. We're not.. infact.. the trailers started around 9:30.. Which would probably give us time to get some snacks.. But the long Queue looks like never ending.. So just forget about popcorns.. I don't really like to eat inside the cinema.. I wanted to concentrate and just focus on the movie.. heheheh.

Well.. as we enter.. the 3d glasses were given to each of us.. too bad i didn't get the chance to take a picture cause the reception lady kept on saying.. no picture taking please.. grrr.. but Jericho and Heart's IMAX visit was covered by cameras.. Anyway.. there.. we were seated quite near the 8 story screen.. and it really is an 8 story movie screen.. the biggest i have ever seen.. And when you face front.. You will definitely see only the screen.. No heads infront of you.. or the exit signs around your peripheral..

A good 30 minutes of chatting and observing other people who was jittery.. anticipating the movie.. most i think will watch IMAX for the first time. The trailers started with this IMAX "Think Big clip". The sign wear your 3d glasses sign turned on.. and WOW! the countdown looks as if it is infront of you.. 3D! The T-REX trailer almost got me off my seat.. the Dino kinda came out of the screen and looked like it's going to eat us.. hahahahahha! The Ant Bully Trailer was also in 3D.. I will watch this next.

Back to Superman.. After watching the movie in IMAX.. I would say it's just an average movie.. was expecting a LOT! Good thing I watched in in IMAX.. But hey.. don't expect too much on 3D cause only 4 clips are in 3D.. What I appreciate most is the clarity of the picture and the sound.. Lex Luthor wasn't really villanous in this movie.. Lois didn't looked like Lois.. but Brandon Routhe really did great as Superman. The story felt like it is going nowhere.. the conflict too shallow.. and the ending anti-climatic.. But you definitely have to watch this in IMAX and as the say.. Experience Movie making history cause it's the first motion picture shown in IMAX.

Hi, I saw this last weekend, and thought the actor was incredible as Superman. He sure looked like christopher Reeve and was every bit as good at acting. He seemed unrecognizable to me between Kent and Superman, well done.

Just passing though and thought I'd say hi!

cheers,
Candy

Hi Candy.. Thanks for your comment.. yup! Brandon Routh really is cool for the role.. the perfect superman.. thought his voice was dubbed by somebody else.. but it is his voice.. much like the voice of the original superman.
