IMAX stamps that extra level of excitement on films. I love catching massive effects movies on IMAX when I can. Nothing drives that experience into your head like massive clean sound and a beautiful four storey picture. Often IMAX releases take place a little while after the original theatrical run (party to see if they are successful enough to show in the unique theatres) but the upcoming Eagle Eye is getting a simultaneous release in IMAX.
DreamWorks/Paramount have prepared an IMAX trailer for Eagle Eye that will be attached to Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight in IMAX theaters shortly. It is to announce that the D.J. Caruso-directed film will get a simultaneous IMAX DMR release along with its 35mm opening on September 26th.
I would have thought that IMAX would be the type of format set for epic visual films. Lots of effects.
Eagle Eye looks more to be a suspense thriller. Does that really deserve an IMAX treatment?
I would go and see Transformers or Batman on an IMAX screen, but where is the value of a movie with very little special effects in it on that big screen.
What’s next? Bridget Jones Diary 3: Electric Boogaloo IN IMAX!!
