Batman Is Back!
Posted by Church Video Ideas under Greg's Favorites, Movies, Random Thoughts, Reviews
I saw “The Dark Knight” at midnight last night. I could ruin it for you with one word… but I won’t. You need to go see it before rumors start spreading. Good stuff. Every theater in Texas was sold out - literally. Every IMAX (from Dallas to Austin to Oklahoma City to Houston - I tried them all) is sold out until Monday. I plan to go see it at the IMAX this coming Monday (it was shot on IMAX film and you have to see it like that - at least once). Good stuff. Heath Ledger was amazing!

Just saw this tonight and — WOW! it was awesome! Definitely one of the best movies I have seen in a long time!

Actually, the movie was shot on 35mm and on IMAX (which is 70mm) film. About 30 minutes of the final cut is IMAX footage. This is the first time that a blockbuster narrative film has used the IMAX format at all, which is really cool. Just shooting part of the film in IMAX made the overall film cost something like 4X more expensive. Still waiting to get my chance to shoot a feature on IMAX or Super 8mm for that matter, but keeping the dream alive :).
