Just an fyi...I'm currently working on The Polar Express in 3D for IMAX. Going into this project I was pretty skeptical...but I've recently seen the first dailies in 3D IMAX....holy shnikies! You've never seen anything like this before. I can't comment on the story, but the pictures are going to blow you away.

Yeah...though every word was true, that was indeed a shameless plug.

You IMAX whore!

Seriously, I'm gonna have to go see some IMAX movies again soon. It's been too long.

Sounds very cool! I saw the Matrix on the IMAX screen and it was cool. I also saw one about F1 cars. That was awesome to say the least.

We're waiting for Spidey2 to arrive.
Never did see it in the theatre.

Last movie I saw at Imax was crouching tiger, hidden dragon - although I don't think it was retooled for Imax just shown in larger format. The problem was we got there late and had to sit in the second row. You literally had to turn your head and read across the entire screen for the subtitles.

If you saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in an IMAX theatre, you got ripped off. We had nothing to do with that film. They simply projected their 35mm print in the bigger room. No IMAX film, No IMAX sound.

So Spiff,

Did everyone finish this project on time? And if so, is it worth waiting to see it this way instead of in 2D?

I am more worried about sitting in a 3D movie for 90 minutes, it could be nauseating!

Yep...all finished. This release broke pretty much ever large format film record ever. Let's hope we can do the same at the box office now.

See it in 3D. I'm not kidding. It's pretty darn amazing.

I've seen most of the trailers. Even w/o IMAX, the CGI is pretty amazing.

We saw Incredibles and it's pretty amazing how far CGI has come from Toy Story to now. Years ago, I thought Toy Story was good. Now, I hope you guys do next year's Cars in IMAX. THAT would be cool.

I'm sure our people have been begging Pixar, and perhaps next year, as the Pixar/Disney contract expires we'll have better luck. Who knows? I certainly don't.

I don't even know what the next project is going to be yet.
