Superman Returns: In IMAX and 3-D!!!
Published Wednesday, June 28, 2006 by seanlmccarthy | E-mail this post
In lieu of my mini movie review,
I have published a full review of
Superman Returns, the IMAX 3-D edition, in today's
Boston Herald. The short version: If
my colleague Jim gave the regular 2-D film a B-minus, then the super duper edition gets bumped up to at least a B-plus or an A-minus. Looks like we picked the correct Jordan's Furniture entertainment complex (we went to Reading, not Natick) because
Barry and Eliot were there to introduce the screening and make jokes at each other's expense. Eliot said seeing mainstream Hollywood movies in IMAX 3-D "is really the future" (and I'd have to agree it's a good thing, although I wouldn't profit from it quite as directly as they would) and noted the "buttkicker" amplifiers embedded in our seats. Then Eliot sat three seats away from me and chuckled at various points in the movie before sneaking out a few minutes shy of the end credits.

I asked local notables and regular people which Superman power they wish they had (check out Maria Stephanos!).
-- How'd they get the late great Marlon Brando to return as Superman's father?
I asked the people in charge. And the company made a
helpful online video for you to watch the process.
