Visit to IMAX theatre

Yea, this was my first experience in IMAX theatre. Before I went there, I asked my friend, hows the IMAX theatre looks like, he told me that the screen was very big, like 3 times bigger than a normal theatre. Well, It's not really looks like what I expected. For me, yeah, the screen is big compared to cinemas I went before.Firstly when I entered the theatre, I thought the screen will be like immense size, it didn't, maybe just a slightly bigger than a regular theatre movie screen". The sound doesn't good, it's not really "high definition sound" which I was expecting. The screen is a little bit curve (maybe for the IMAX film only?).

Well, I'm not usually enter a regular theatre, I went to cinema less than 3 times in 2010, not including the IMAX, that's why I don't have too many movie experience.I was sitting right at the middle of the seats, I enjoyed sitting at this area since most of the time when I went to cinema, my seat was at the side area. Well, its good not having many people in the theatre so that I can randomly sit at the area I wanted to, and yea I was able to sit right at the middle and the position of the movie screen was easier for me to concentrate and watch

The movie "Prince of Persia", I watched it for the first time and it was in IMAX Theatre, although it's was not in IMAX format, but I'm still enjoying the movie. If the movie was in IMAX format, my thought is the movie will be full size and really get us feel like entering to the scene? Well, when movie started, I was concentrate on the movie but it's not like what I am expecting. But, I can still saw someone fell asleep, maybe he/she watched it before ? Or maybe it was the theatre's technical issues? and the surrounding sound was not really clear enough which it supposed to be. I was thinking if the movie is on the regular theatre, its will give better results of this film "Prince of Persia".

The movie was not filmed in IMAX, so I can't really compare difference between an IMAX film and non IMAX film. I wish I could watch a true IMAX film in the future but its a little bit difficult for me since the nearest IMAX theatre is located at Singapore and then Shanghai.

Technologies

Sometimes, my friends ask me "Are you a heavy gamer?". I will probably answer "YES". But, I realized that, I don't play more than 5 games in 5 years time now. The first ever 3D video game I played was Final Fantasy VIII in Ps1 console back in 2002. I remembered I never experienced that kind of graphics. Soon after that, I played Counter Strike, the first 3D action game I played. The feeling was absolutely fantastic for me. But now, when I looks back on these games, I'm thinking like, it's a very outdated technology isn't it?

Back to 10 years ago, I don't really seen much people using handphones, but many of them used those very large handphones, like a big bottle instead of a phone. I started using handphone when I 'm 13 years old. Since the technology is getting better, the phone size, phone design is became more freedom, creativity and more functions to use. Similar things goes to the people, even a 7 years old kid is using handphone. People can use handphones to online in everywhere except for the area which are not in coverage.

Right now I was thinking, will it be good if technology keep getting better? will it give any negative effects in our lifestyle? As for sure we won't know until it happens. For me, I would love to keep on developing myself and enjoy what was invented.

2th week of class, the Dean explained to us about the 3D related space and form lectures, he also showed what is IMAX, which we will be visiting next week. I remember I read some of the notes somewhere else last semester.... To experiencing myself in a 3D environment is always in my though, even watch a 3D movie is fine for me, but since Dean told us that the IMAX theatre at Time Square was no longer broadcasting IMAX film, so I do hope can experience the theatre enviroment next week to imagine how the place will looks like...
