The bigger the better
There's nothing I love more than seeing a movie, a regular release, on an Imax theater. I recently went out with some of the kids from my school to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at our local Imax theather (it's part of our science center) and just had a real kick ass experience!
Imax just rocks in general because right behind the screen are hundreds of speakers, so when stuff flies by on the screen, you can hear the sound following the images. It's better even than regular surround sound. Harry battling the Hungarian Horntail was just awesome, especially seeing Harry fly on such a huge screen.
I've gotten to see a few other films over the year on Imax. Not all movies make sense on Imax. For instance, I saw Fantasia on Imax and it was no more impressive than it was on a regular sized screen, other movies, epic ones like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings are just made for Imax. I don't think Imax will ever be the standard for all films, I wouldn't bother paying 8 bucks for every movie that comes out, but as a special treat, I have to recommend it.
