They need to get more IMAX 3D theaters put in. Eventually, I hope this happens. It should now be the standard.
It was like 10 years ago when stadium seating and surround sound was all the rage.
I think it's important to make going to the movies an event. With HD and surround sound technology affordable for every home, they really need to make the theater "the theater". Like the old days, it should mean something when you go to see a movie. With dvds and computers, theater-going has taken some hits but this is huge.
What I want to know is, how can you make a blockbuster in 2D now? I mean, films will always be great films. It doesn't matter if they're in IMAX 3D or on super8.
But big epics and visual spectacles. This changes everything. Now everything has to be shot and presented like this, or it's a step backwards. I honestly can't even imagine being "taken away" by a 2D epic now.
I can't believe what they can do with this, and what they could have done with it. I can't even imagine some of the movies that could have been like this had the technology been there. I bet George Lucas is bullshit that the Star Wars prequels weren't this way. Same with Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson's films. Great special effects are/were one thing, but this is an all-new level of realism and awe.
Spielberg and everyone are going to make huge movies using this technology now. They'll probably find a way to re-master and re-release classics in it. How can they not shoot The Hobbit and the next Batman with this technology? If they don't they're crazy.
