Harry Potter Finally Imax 3D

(1/6) > >>

Xiaou2:
Saw the Final Harry Potter film in Imax 3D Friday night.
(bought the ticket almost 1month in advance!)

Ive not read the books yet, but have seen all the films.

 One of my biggest complaints in the films has been the actual lacking of magic in the films.  The half blood prince was the first film where things started to really get interesting...   but the last movie was a bit of a sleeper.  Suspicion told me that since so much was left to finish up... this new movie would have to be jam packed with action & awesome...

 HELL YEAH !!!

 This movie blew past every expectation I had.  It was pretty much non stop 'awesome' all the way to the end.

 The Imax 3D was Perfect, and Jaw dropping.   The depth is immense, and really brings the movie to life in a way that you cant imagine.  Details in the very walls, feeling like your going to fall off a high cliff... and all of it was pretty much glitch-free.  Its hard to believe that the thing wasnt shot in 3D, because the 3D is that good.  And not just some scenes.. but the entire thing.

 I STRONGLY suggest you see this on a real 'Film' based Imax 3D theater.  You will have to check, because some Imax 3D theaters are pure digital, and from what I hear, its not as good as the film based Imax.   I do know for a fact, that Real-D does not compare at all to Imax3D, as Ive seen the same films on both formats.

 Anyways, its pretty rare that I ever feel the need or desire to watch a movie again without a very long gap between each sitting... but Im really thinking of seeing it again.  It was that good.

Xiaou2:
I have no idea what the heck your talking about.

 But one thing to note, is that they are not filming on a beach in California.
Over there, from what Ive seen/heard, its cloudy,gray, or raining.. a large percentage of the time.

 Also, being that the film has many night scenes, as well as places where things are dark, and the overall mood meant to be conveyed is that of darkness (at times).. then what were you Really expecting?   This wasnt some sunny disney romp thru rainbow lit forests.

 The warmth comes from the characters.  But being that you are pretty much oblivious to other people (and maybe any emotions whatsoever)... I can understand where it would all be lost on you.

 I do have to wonder however, if part of it was your crappy ancient theaters fault.  Improperly adjusted, dirty lenses, dim dirty bulbs, low resolution out of focus projector, and it all can lead up to the equivalent of comparing a 20yr old vcr tape on an ancient standard res TV, to a HD blueray disc on an HD tv.

 In such a case, with all the vivid details lost, all you have left is color to differentiate scenes.

 Then again, you probably also need glasses.

Or, the theatre was too lazy to swap the lenses.

No, PBJ is right (yes, it hurt to type that, lol). It wasn't a lack of lighting, the scene with an almost all white background was blindingly bright but a lot of that move was very dark.

The movie itself was pretty good and despite it being very predictable it kept me entertained.
