Superman Returns in 3D at the IMAX
Alien sent his scouts out again to cover this special midnight screening.
Scout #1:
The 3D scenes in the film were fantastic! The technology has come so far that it's really impressive and does not seem forced or overly done at all. The 3D kicked in during most of the big action scenes and it really added some serious mojo to those scenes. There are only about 20 minutes of 3D in the film, but if you haven't seen any 3D recently you'll be amazed at the quality and you should definitely check it out. The only way I can describe it is it's like Hi-Def on steriods. After the couple of seconds it takes to adjust, it's crystal clear, not exaggerated and makes you feel like you're in the scene. I may have to agree with Jim Cameron that 3D is the wave of the future
Scout #2:
The 3-D effects are amazing, although far too short. The movie uses a polarized 3-D process, which means no annoying magenta/cyan colored glasses that rob the movie of glorious colors. Unfortunately only four scenes (about 20 minutes) in the movie are presented in 3-D (the flashback of Clark as a younger boy, the plane rescue, the boat rescue, and Superman’s final flight). A green or red glasses symbol will flash on the screen to indicate when to put on and take off the IMAX 3-D glasses. While incredibly immersive, the disruption going in and out of 3-D mode, requiring the viewer put on and remove the 3-D glasses, is a bit distracting.
