Matrix Revolutions Zero Hour Global Premiere
I decided, on the last minute, to participate in that event.
(It won't compensate for not being able to be a part of Trilogy Tuesday.)
The last time I was in something close to this event was during "Hands Across America". (ha-ha-ha)
That aside, the movie was a rush!!! I've never had my heartbeat pound in excitement for practically more than 80% of the movie!!! Definitely, it was the best of The Matrix Trilogy!!!
I plan on watching this in the closest IMAX Theatre showing it. I've never experienced watching in an IMAX Theatre. I'm not too thrilled about watching an art or educational film in a theatre designed with so much power. Is it necessary for art or educational films to be heard in 12K-watts and be shown in gigantic 8 stories high screens to be didactic? Imagine watching the Discovery Channel or the History Channel in an IMAX Theatre. And, art films usually have short run times. If I'm going to watch in an IMAX Theatre, it might as well be worth while. And the only thing currently showing in an IMAX Theatre that fits the bill is Matrix Revolutions.
11-22-3 Update: Finally watched it in the closest IMAX Theatre, last night. I watched it with Kurt and he told me that he's been to other IMAX Theatres that are bigger than the one we went to last night. Understandably, NYC, in general, is quite tight; so our screen wasn't panoramic. However, the experience of watching in an IMAX Theatre was worth it. Whenever I travel to other cities that have IMAX Theatres, I will try to take the time to compare the difference between each theatre. I'd like to go to an IMAX Theatre that has a panoramic screen. The best way I can imagine it to be is to think about a drive-in movie screen size but instead of outdoor, it's built in a theatre.
