No, Hec, I did not.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

From IMDB:
On the heels of its success with Polar Express, IMAX announced Tuesday that it will release Batman Begins on its giant screens on the same day it that opens in conventional theaters, June 17. IMAX accounted for more than 25 percent of the box-office take for Polar Express, which it exhibited in 3-D. Presumably, Batman Begins, which stars Christian Bale in the title role, will be presented in 2-D. Nevertheless, in an interview with the New York Daily News, the company's co-CEO, Richard Gelfond, remarked, "This is the kind of epic movie that will blow people away in IMAX."

They seem to be about to do the same thing with Robots. I imagine that one will do well on IMAX too.

Thrive to spite them
I've never been to the IMAX theater here. I'll go see Batman and Robots there though.
I also need to go do the Dark Side of the Moon planetarium thing they have.

We saw the last Harry Potter on IMAX. So much more detail was visible - it was very interesting.

I did too, and I thought it worked great, except for the scene between Harry and Lupin on the bridge. They were so far apart that it became a scene about the bridgpost in the middle of the screen.

Yeah, the actor playing the post was really wooden.

I saw Beauty and the Beast on IMAX. Which was awesome. You really felt like you were in a castle.

Backstage at the Academys:
One of the more unexpected backstage comments: honoree Sidney Lumet, who has worked with the greatest actors of five decades, was asked about the star of his next picture, Vin Diesel.
"One of the finest actors I have ever worked with," he said. "In acting, you get to the job any way you can. He was typed as a muscleman, and he had success at that, but take my word for it, you will be amazed at the work he does."
