Having problems with message search?
Guess it would require a conversion…didn’t
think of that. I wondered why the Apollo 13
DVD had the standard movie as well as the IMAX version – I mean, unless
you have an IMAX screen in your living room, what’s the point? (I just
bought a DVD called Hail Columbia
which is an IMAX movie, and I could quickly see that it would look better on
that huge screen; most of it is presented in tiny little squares that fill
about a fifth of my screen.)
It just seems to me that IMAX is the
closest thing we’re likely to get to the Cinerama experience; I think that’s
been discussed on this list before. I was so disappointed when the year 2001
came and went with virtually no attention paid to the movie…at least in
this country.

Unfortunately IMAX is a totally different system than
70mm so it would not be showable in that format. There is however a process to
digitize a movie and upgrade it to the IMAX format, which has been done with
numerous films. The first one to do this was Apollo 13.

Always seemed like 2001 would have been an obvious candidate for this
treatment, but so far it hasn't happened.
