In fact, there is not much to say about the plot. In that era, numerous organ settings and wonderful special effects on the screen were rare things. Later, "National Treasure" enhanced the modernity in both characters and institutions. Mainly talk about the feeling of the IMAX version.



This is the first time I have watched the IMAX version of the movie after studying in the United States. Since I learned about digital conversion IMAX and film shooting IMAX, I have been observing this so-called "think big" mode. The giant screen made up of three curved screens in the 1960s was far more shocking than the current IMAX, but due to too many pseudo giant screens and high cost, it faded out of the stage of history. Today, IMAX is also slowly going this way. Judging from the preview, after Raiders of the Lost Ark, Resident Evil, Frankenstein, 007 Skyfall and Hobbit 1 Unknown Journey will occupy 1 IMAX per month. But what did the extra $5 fare cost compared to the regular version?



The IMAX upgrade of "Indiana Jones" has basically reached the limit on the screen, although it is certainly not comparable to the Blu-ray version, but for the film shot in the 1980s, being able to show it on a 6k resolution screen shows that it has made a lot of efforts. , Except for the scenes with a lot of individual sceneries a little fuzzy, other times are satisfactory. The most shocking sound effect when I watched "The Dark Knight Rises" in Hong Kong, but this time I didn't realize it at all. This is probably mainly because the soundtrack at the time was not as complicated as modern movies.



But returning to the question just now, the graphics and sound effects have tried their best, and there is still no way to prove what the extra $5 fare means? The most successful marketing IMAX has done so far is probably the two Dark Knights filmed with Nolan’s full support, but when I checked the film version of IMAX theaters around the world, I couldn’t help but feel a little sad: Southeast Asia. Only Taiwan and Dongguan have film versions; there are only about ten film versions in the United States. The rest are all IMAX digital remakes. What you get for $5 is just an upgrade of self-feeling. In fact, you are paying for your vanity.



Come next month to experience what it feels like to be an IMAX with black and white animation. Tim Burton's movies must be supported by theaters. However, judging from the trailer, it is no different from his 30-minute short story, and the screen seems to be inferior to "Zombie Bride".
