Pixar flicks

[Hot Mustard]

Pixar movies are quite good on average. Finding Nemo is okay, but probably their weakest outing.

Disney must be thankful for the association with Pixar, as their own animated films have been horrible recently.

The best animated film of recent history is not a Pixar flick though - Shrek trounced them all.

Um, The Abyss was not released on IMAX, according to IMAX. A documentary about the ship Titanic, "Ghosts of the Abyss" (in 3D nonetheless) was released in the wide-screen format, but I can't find any confirmation that the movie was IMAXed. GotA was also directed by James Cameron, btw.

OTOH, Matrix Reloaded is coming out on IMAX this June.

I asked my mother for conformation.

We did go see the Abyss at the IMAX. I dunno why you cannot find records of it, but it was playing here in town at the IMAX way back when.

other more recent films Ive seen ther include Independence Day, Lord of the rings: fellowship... , some disney movie i think, and a bunch of the awesome documenteries they have made speacially for the theater. If you cant find those in your source, it probably isnt very reliable

Ahh, I see. With the cross post it is obvious that your IMAX theater is not showing only IMAX movies but regular, popular titles.

Release dates for the Abyss: http://us.imdb.com/ReleaseDates?0096754

That happens a lot here. I've seen Fellowship of the Ring; The Two Towers and Apocalypse Now Redux on the Huge screen.

It does make a difference.

indeed, i was gonna point that out from the list which is entirely the speacial movies they make for the theater or reformatted versions of other movies, not regular release (tho they usually so them much later than when they are originally released to theaters).

well then.

[JohnT]

We were both right... and wrong.

[Kramerman]

so maybe i did see beauty and the beast... ill have to reference my mother again

[JohnT]

Maybe, but you didn't see a very good print if you did. The IMAX re-release cost Disney over $10,000,000 to clean up the print as to allow it to be viewed properly in the IMAX format.
