Matrix Reloaded in IMAX


Did anyone see that they released Matrix Reloaded for the IMAX Theaters? I can't wait to go and see it.

For anyone that doesn't know what the IMAX is it is a curved theature screen that is usually 4 to 6 Stories high with awsome sound, most of them just run boring nature films but I see that quite a few here in the US are going to be playing Matrix Reloaded, I can't wait to see it there, I have seen it twice in the theatures but this should be awesome.

Just thought I would post this for any die hard Matrix Fans out there :-)

Oh shoot, IMAX is great. I remeber watching some nature documentary on birds in one of the IMAX's in Ohio, man did it feel like you were an actual bird? It is going to be great, except if they released the original The Matrix for IMAX, I didn't enjoy The Reloaded as much.

I found alot of people that didn't like the second as much, but if you really understand the first one (I can recite the entire movie at any time) the second one makes alot more sence and thus is better.

I can't wait though to see it, I think I am going this next saterday or sunday to see it :-)

I love those nature films. Just like Discovery channel and Animal Planet.. at least your learning something..

But yeah, second Matrix was good.. and as we speak, I'm ripping "The Animatrix" right now with acidrip cause it was only 15 bucks at Best Buy....

only thing i didnt like about matrix reloaded was some of the graphoics...just 2 fake for me, Neo's face has no texture in
the scenes that were completely done on computer. The movie
it self it pretty good....left a lot of questions that i hope they
answer in the 3rd one.

edit:
oh, IMAX is the shiznit. i hope to own an imax theater
put it right in my back yard.

Went and saw it in IMAX last night and boy was it beautiful. The screen was actually almost (dare I say it?) too big (ouch) because the audience had to keep shifting back and forth, especially in dialouge. But the explosions just kept getting better and better. I hightly recommend it.

I saw it in IMAX as well, the screen here in Columbus, OH is said to be 7 stories high.

My neck was sore after the movie from too much movement. I was sitting about 1/4 of the way up (in terms of height to screen). and about 50 ft back. I couldn't take it all in, kept having to turn my head from side to side to gather it all. I'm lucky I didn't get whiplash!

Good move IMAX!
