Matrix Sequels To Get the IMAX Treatment

Posted by timothy on from the even-bigger-screen dept.

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..."."

    Sounds like something we joke about: getting to see Carrie Anne Moss in that dashingly dirty and hormone punishing leather outfit, stretching out in a leaping attack in slow and glorious "in bullet time".

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

    Neo: What truth?

    Underwear Boy: There is no underwear.

    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...

    I saw AOTC in IMAX, and it completely sucked.

    Actually, you can remove the "in IMAX" from the sentence and it's still true.

    I saw Episode Two at home, on DVD. The worst part was the dialogue.

    Wow, this reminds me of a joke that used to circulate in communist Czechoslovakia in the 80's:

    NASA to Washington: "Mr. President, the Soviets have landed on the moon, and it looks like they're painting the whole thing red! What should we do?"

    "Wait until they're done. Then paint 'Coca Cola' over it!"
