This comment pertains to the edition of 'Episode 2' remastered for Imax. My experience with the original viewing of this project was pretty good, from the usual Star Wars campy acting to the wonderous imagination, to the really impressive camera. The greatest element of the film were the effects. I wondered if it could look even better on the big screen.
And it does in some respects. The still shots of cities and places it was great, but the action moments faired better on the digital screen. Because the entire film was digitally captured at 35mm, the blowup is not as sharp like it would have been from real film.
But the best parts were how awesome the effects looked. Many, many sequences that passed on the small big screen showed you even more on the big big screen: The big ships were monstrous, the landscapes showed off more of their beauty, and you could really see how well and hard the animators at ILM worked when it is shown to you on IMAX with their work appearing seamless.
If you love film, don't listen to Ted.
