Film: The Dark Knight IMAX

Is it worth the price of admission to see The Dark Knight on IMAX?  Yes and No.

Yes because the screen and sound system are incredible.  Yes because the IMAX scenes in The Dark Knight look significantly better on the IMAX screen.  Yes because it's a good movie anyways, and this makes it just that much better.

No because the vast majority of the film was not shot with the IMAX camera.  So unfortunately, it doesn't make the most of the available technology.

But if you haven't seen the movie, and can get in to an IMAX theatre to watch it, definitely go.  If you've already seen the movie, well, there are worse ways you could spend an evening.  But there are also better ways.
