Great, even better in IMAX

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2004)

This movie was definitely an interesting watch, seeing it in an IMAX theatre increased the suspense particularly in the Quidditch match, but the larger image did make the CGI look noticeable, but not too bad.

As for the storyline and acting by Mr. Radcliffe, Mr. Grint, Ms. Watson, nicely done. I haven't read the book yet but since this movie, I just began reading the series. The change of directors in this movie as well as the theming were apparent in the film. Cuaron did successfully establish a darker, yet more suspenseful film; but I really didn't like that 'freeze-frame' that everyone else is complaining about.
Overall, definately in my humble opinion, one of the best of the three. If it's playing at an IMAX theatre near you, definately see it, even if you have already seen it at conventional 35mm theatres.
