Why do these things exist?
I mean honestly, what is the point?
It is just a giant ass screen that makes your eyes hurt.
And deafens you with over the top music.
So yeah, this review is going to be different. This weekend I was up in London with my family and we decided to go to an IMAX (never again) to see Noah, I personally thought it was absolutely pointless and a waste of money.
So an IMAX is supposed to give the viewer the ultimate experience (it only gave me a headache), it's supposed to do this through a screen that is bigger than the side of your average house and surround sound or something. Firstly, the big screen is stupid, why the hell do you need a screen that big? I personally really struggled watching a screen that big because it's hard to concentrate on the whole picture, I had to keep looking away or at it indirectly because IT HURT AS IT WAS SO BIG.
And then the sound was ugh, I was deaf for half the film... not even kidding. You know these really tense moments when there's a really big build up in music? Yeah, well those were the moments when you had to curl up into the fetus position and cover your ears, what was the point? None. There was none.
So yep basically IMAX's are the most stupid concept ever, there is no need to replace cinemas with these. All in all, it was too much for my senses (although mine are quite sensitive due to a couple of personal reasons), so I'm not sure if it will have the same effect on everyone else, but if you're like me then just don't go. They're just a giant overwhelming cinema that cost more (I think?)
This has just been a long winded way of saying don't go, just don't... So yeah I'm done for today, let me know if you thought differently or if you have any expierences with an IMAX! I will be back soon with two reviews, one a book and on a movie (oooh exciting....)
