Craig:
Is there no Imax favorite?



I know that I don't pick up Imax films to watch at home for a couple of reasons...

Number one (and pretty much the biggest reason) is that they are not widescreen. I understand that the original Imax format is not designed to be widescreen, and I am OK with that. I just won't buy any for home. Not a big deal to me.

Number 2 is that most Imax films that I have watched are very slow moving and are, of course, "too" educational for me to want to watch at home. Great for the Imax locations (like ours in Des Moines) that are located at our local Science Center.


I would guess also that Craig has probably seen all of them enough to not warrant a viewing at home.

(Note to Craig. Please understand that I am not slamming Imax films, just that they were not designed for anything other than the large format screen, and that is where they do best. I think that is why they get mediocre ratings when people buy them on DVD and watch them on their 27" Zenith from the 80's.)
