An ok documentary but this should not have been released at the theatres! This totally should have been a made for TV presentation There really was no reason for 3D either!

I am sad to say I saw this today expecting alot more and I was completely let down. First off they wouldnt let me use my free movie passes because apparently this was a Disney release and they wont allow it for some unkown reason?

They also charged a dollar more than regular matinee prices for this movie. The reason behind that i dont understand either?

This was only about 1 full hour long and thank goodness because I was totally dosing for about the last 20 minutes!

There was some good footage inside the wreckage howevor!

Obviously you've never seen an Imax movie before, right? The rules and regulations for Imax films are all different than regular theaters. They are more expensive, and you can't use a regular free movie pass on them. It's just the way it is. I'm actually surprised that it was only a dollar more expensive, usually it's more like 5.

Actually it was being played right a regular Regal Cinema here in Vegas Chap. Thats why I was surprised by the cost increase?

Oh Well What a waste!

Was it played on a regular screen? I think the experience must have been really reduced if it was a 3D movie in a regular theater. The best thing about IMAX is that you are so close to the screen, the movie takes up your entire field of vision.

I think, since you are in Vegas, you can appreciate the reference. For those that have visited and ridden the Atlantis ride in the Caesar's Palace Forum Shops mall, it's a similar visual experience.

Actually it was on a regular screen as well we wore the same glasses you get at Disneyland or Disneyworld ofr there 3D flicks like Captain E O and the Muppets one?

The 3D affect were cool even on the regular screen.

I agree IMAX is very cool I saw some Dinoasaur movie in 3D on IMAX a few years back and it was pretty good.

Caesars Palace used to have an IMAX and played different movies every month or so but Im quite certain they tore it down to build Celine Dions new concert venue.

I just watched it. I was wondering if it was better in 3D. Apparently not. It was neat when they were flipping back and forth between the current state of the ship and what it originally looked like though.
