Recently I got the chance to see the latest Superman movie at the Omni Theater at the Museum of Science.
The screen wasn’t completely filled since the movie was shot in Imax but still the image looked rather amazing and it was a unique experience considering the Omni Theater usually just shows films shot in the Omni format which are usually short documentary style subjects.
The Omni Theater screen is 5 stories high!
Many years ago I saw a movie shot for that size screen about the Nile in Egypt and it was like I imagine flying over the Nile would be, if I was ever lucky enough to have that experience.
The Omni Theater is intensely immersive.
Now to Superman itself…
With one watch it became my favorite live action version of the Superman story.
James Gunn knows how to direct a super hero movie.
A lot has been written about this movie and far more eloquently than I will, so
I’ll just say it kept Superman as he was/is a good hearted immigrant who wants to do good things in his new home.
And it's about time Krypto and the Superman robots made it into a movie!
