IMAX - wow!

We caught the latest Mission Impossible movie (Ghost Protocol) at the newest IMAX digital cinema in Singapore, in the recently revamped Lido cineplex. It's still at the same location along Orchard Road as it has been for years. The quality is pretty good despite not being in the normal 70mm IMAX film format so no complaints here. Indeed, my brother in law (and me) even experienced a bit of vertigo as one of the scenes panned downwards from the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

And the movie? Awesome action every other second which is what the movie experience is all about. And more than a few great one liners from Simon Pegg, undoubtedly a pretty good comedic actor.

And where's the food angle? Well the popcorn they offer up was actually quite good, quite unlike the dry stuff I'm used to getting, so much so that I never buy popcorn on my rare visits to the cinema. In fact I managed to polish off most of a medium sized bucket (about the size of a KFC family bucket) by halfway through the movie.
