3's a crowd - 'IMAX'

Well (I'd say) that wasn't the best trip ever. The word 'IMAX' that came to mind brought a bit of excitement. To me the excitement wasn't much because the movie we went to watch was, 'Prince of Persia' which was something I went earlier with my friends and watch it and because I'm not a 'Movie-mania' kind of person, watching it the second time wasn't what I wanted to do. But because we thought that we were going to watch it 'IMAX' style, I decided to go along. Well, all that was a dream turned out to be another disappointment for me.
The screen was definitely a memo of IMAX but the projector wasn't there to stay. The commercial was badly stretched but thank god not the movie. But since they had a big screen, they went and enlarge the movie a bit (not until full screen) and that was a great idea breaking up the picture. What we went to watch was something that somebody had uploaded on Youtube.com. Well, at least the sound system wasn't bad, is something I would like to say. One of the big speakers wasn't functioning to well and needs a bit or lots of TLC. The sound was also how would I say it, 'Broken', wasn't sharp and clear.
You know, I had a feeling that something like this would happen. Two things that tells my heart that this wasn't something I wanted was one, the commercial was stretched. The other things was that they said that IMAX was no longer functioning, so I thought, 'If IMAX wasn't there anymore, wouldn't they take their expensive camera along with them too?'. Sigh, I guess I'll just have to wait until I can go to the real IMAX to see how great people say it is to shows on really BIG screen.

In the end I had to say, that was the lousiest 7 Ringgit I had wasted on, no offense.
