IMAX 3D version changes you from an observer of the action to becoming part of the action.

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2004)

At least for me, trying to describe the impact of watching this movie in IMAX 3D is difficult because it is such a radical difference from any other movie experience. It is the difference between becoming part of the action versus merely being an observer. The 3D effect is so perfect that you become the third person in a two person conversation, you get that roller coaster feeling in your stomach as the train careens out of control, your heart is in your throat when the characters (including yourself) are in peril. As a result it is not just watching a movie but creating an experience where you personally experience the action in a virtual world. Adding to this feeling is the sound track and high quality audio system which envelopes you in this virtual world. The deep rumbling sound of the train alone causes your heart to start pounding both literally and figuratively. Because watching this movie in IMAX 3D is a totally different experience even if you have seen the movie already in 2D don't hesitate to see it again in 3D. If you have not seen it at all I highly recommend making the extra effort to find the movie in 3D.
