Come on.
We deserve better than this.
Oh I know some movies may suck, but then I wouldn't really go check a lot of those out in theatres anyway. Although I doubt there are that many action/adventure films with visuals worthy enough for the IMAX handed out at one time, so I can't honestly blame them that much for putting something like Clash of the Titans up there.

Although I do wonder if they could convert older movies for a possible IMAX release. Something like Aliens or 2001: A Space Odyssey. That would be something.

Wouldn't want to stop others enjoying it though. Those lucky, two-eyed barstards.
Honestly, you aren't missing that much. Its a neat effect for a few minutes, but after a while the gimmick wears off. And with the conversions, half the time you might as well just watch the 2D version with sunglasses.

If I may have my say in here, I can understand why you'd think that, but honestly after I saw it all I wanted to do was play Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for a few hours. God that game kicked ass.

We're going to see Inception some day next week. I've got The Wolfman from Netflix to watch this weekend.

I wouldn't get excited. It is an interesting social experiment, watching how the boy and girl interact, but as a horror it is poor. I found ToyStory scarier. I mean seriously you will have to be scared so damn easily if you enjoy this a horror.

I hardly ever go to the cinema, but I did want to go and see Predators. However, I'm just back from holiday and the only showings left are late night ones - BAH! It obviously hasn't done too well then.

Inception would be good but it's too long for a cinema flick.
