3D AND IMAX? Be there.

3D IMAX FILMS

Just a quick note for those who work too much, and don't have time for things like, say, FUN.

If you're a designer, visual artist of any kind, or otherwise creative, I wholeheartedly recommend the IMAX experience. I've long been a big fan of movies that take full advantage of the big screen, the surround audio, and the fact that they've got you pretty much where they want you... no phone, no doorbell, just visuals and sound.

That all started for me when I went with a bunch of friends to see a movie, thinking it was another space soap opera series like Star Wars, so we sat in the 2nd row, center.

The movie was Alien. And we were wrong.

Anyway, back to IMAX. If you don't have an IMAX theater in your 'hood, plan a road trip. Avatar in 3D on a screen that was the full height of the movie theater was the most extreme visual experience I've had. And I've had a few.

When it ended, the audience was actually applauding while they were walking towards the door, as though the actors could hear them. It was a testament to the power of the big screen, the big speakers, and the big dark room.

Just an FYI, in case you haven't been.
