Matrix Sequels To Get the IMAX Treatment

hondo77 writes "As if the two sequels to "The Matrix" weren't a big enough event already, it has been announced that both films will also be showing in IMAX theaters. "Although "The Matrix Reloaded" will open in Imax theaters two or three weeks after its general release May 15, "The Matrix Revolutions" will open Nov. 5 in both conventional and Imax cinemas..."."

    Underwear Boy: Do not try and check the underwear. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.

    Maybe I got hosed, but I saw the IMAX version of Episode 2 at the IMAX at the Tech Museum in San Jose. Among other issues, the sound was the worst part! Explosions were cool, but in any medium or close shot, the voice did not match the position of the actor.

    On the plus side, the opening scene rocked and Natalie Portman's 20 foot tall breasts weren't that bad either...

    You've been playing way too many video games and reading way too many "adult entertainment" magazines.

    Those are normal size. You've just lost your scale of reference.

    We were so underwhelmed by our IMAX cinema in Auckland that it closed after a few months.
