IMAX failure.

Rating: 7/10 (31 December 2006)

Saw this movie today at our local IMAX theater. What a mistake. I was rather nauseous most of the time. There is way too much swinging around from the camera's point of view. Much more than is possible in live action films. I've nearly ralphed at other live action IMAX films and it often seems they do that on purpose. This is a real problem in an Imax setting where you are right there in the middle of the action. Also, it wasn't formated very well for the Imax, the corners were cut off, the top and bottom of the screen weren't filled either and it seems characters on the sides were stretched and looked fatter. I'm sure it would have been much better on a normal flat screen. Yes, it's a toe tapper for sure. Big lessons are: 1: don't eat fish, the sea life we take for our own consumption is depriving another part of the food chain. 2: humans are screwing the planet even in really remote locations. 3: there is racism, bigotry and anti foreigner sentiment in the animal world ? What? No it's fiction. But those do carry over in to real life. There were some pretty scary chase scenes too that were rather intense for kids.
