A Dark Night at the IMAX!

I'd never been to an IMAX cinema. When you consider that the London IMAX by Waterloo station is only a ten minute walk from my office then yes, you have every reason to be disgusted. I did want to pop along back at the end of May as they had a Matrix trilogy all-nighter (how fucking cool would that have been), but with the run-up to the wedding building up, there just wasn't the time to fit such an event in. So when my mate Wenty suggested getting tickets for the opening night of Christopher Nolan's sequel to Batman Begins, preceeded by a few extra curricular beers I would have been a fool to refuse!

And what an experience it was. There's good reason why the IMAX is worth watching a movie within. The sound and the visuals on Europe's largest cinema screen are nothing short of immense, and when it shows a film of The Dark Knights quality it makes for a top cinematic experience. I won't go into too much detail here about the film - I'll post a review later when I've seen it again (beer has once again undermined my short term memory), but what I will say is the late Heath Ledger is superb as the joker (putting paid to all the fanboys that got a slight case of 'rage' when he was first announced for the part), Aaron Eckhart is equally as comendable as Harvey Dent, the Bat-Bike sequences are marvellous, it was a full-on action rush and well worth the watch. It's not the best film ever as it has some questionable flaws, but The Dark Knight certainly highly entertaining. Go watch it when you can, preferably at an IMAX!
