Those are as easy to handle as 35 ml cams

I heard somewhere that IMAX developers were working on making a camera that was more efficient for film productions. The issues being the weight of the camera and noise that it generates makes recording dialogue nearly impossible.

And the drag it creates on this Indy car.

Great Blu-ray btw.

Do you live near a TRUE IMAX?

YUP!

And TF2 ROTF was probably the most high quality I've ever seen!

I could just imagine what 2012 would look like on a TRUE IMAX!

It would be awesome to watch in an IMAX motion theater.

neither-- IMAX will continue to be for special screenings only for
"event" movies.

3-D has been attempted many times in the past-- it's a fad that
historically is washed up within 5 years....

Imax will not succeed for many years...Cost. With attendance down...joblessness at all time highs...there won't be enough theaters to show it.

3D is a fad...bothers to many with headaches and eyestrain so it won't keep.

I would love for Imax to make it...but I think it will be years, 5+ before that happens.

3D or IMAX??? Why not both...? 3D IMAX.

I said other for the reason that there are more and more IMAX 3D movies being released. So it's like they are both blazing away.
