superman @ imax




At 20 x 29 meters, the IMAX screen is the biggest in the Philippines. It's high as an 8-storey building and the theatre can accomodate 500+ people. Also, the screen is wide enough to cover the entire field of a person’s view, even his peripheral vision. Sound quality is superb. You can clearly hear every crisp detail, wether it be coming from the side, back or front. It'll blow you away, literally.

Watched the movie with Tina which was supposed to have started at 12am monday. For some technical difficulties, it started around 1am. It's funny how people wait in line just to see "superman returns" in IMAX. The moment you stepped into the premises of imax, you'll see people actually sleeping on the floor! Place looks like a relief center. People waiting in line just to get their share of donations. hahaha. Even celebrities! Tina tried desperately to get a picture of this guy sleeping at the floor wearing his superman shirt. Really funny!

At 1am, everyone was getting inside the theatre. As what my friend told me, our tickets were the best seats in the house (thanks Reg). Like any other theatre, it started with previews of upcoming movies...but quite different. They were in 3d. asteg talaga. If you have tried the '4d' theatre in enchanted kingdom, it's the same experience, but this one is way way much better. Mind blowing visual & sounds.

'Superman Returns" was the best superman ever. Of course, with the latest movie technology bein' used., how could it not be? haha. Storyline was kinda simple, hero rescues damsel in distress, yet execution was great.

Movie finished around 4am, with some technical difficulties (again) at the last part. Last thing we need to bear was hailing a cab. It was exhausting. Had to take a long walk up to Casino Filipino just to hail one. I could tell how sleepy Tina was, even have work at the same day.

Overall, twas a great day. really great.
