Personally I dislike OmniMax, or 'IMAX DOME'. Actually 'hate' might be more accurate. Unless you are sitting in the exact centre of the 'dome' the image is severally distorted. The fact that the screen allows light to pass through it also means some is not all reflected back to the viewer causing a dimmer image. I don't like the color either, washed out compared to other films. I also don't like that any bright areas show up the frame that holds the screen (looks like dropped ceiling frames!) The angle to is uncomfortable. It gets back to where you are sitting in the theatre. Too low or high and unless you crank your head around you end up looking at the periphery - not the main subject. That can't be what the director intended. Ditch the screen, change the aspect back to wide screen and keep the neg size - that would be a better use of the technology. IMO

" Forum accounts that have never posted anything will be removed. If you fit that description, please visit the forum and post something." I was going to post in another thread that already has this topic, then realized starting a new thread would better show my irritation to this idiotic new policy. All it will serve to do is push down the list other more important topics. Oh, real great idea. Do this kind of stunt often enough and people will let there accounts go and say forget it. And check out my equally pointless signature. I think it sums up how I feel about this.
