Wait, I-max still uses film? that's kind of lame. I would have though they would be using a 4k digital projector or something. That would be why i though avatar looked jerky, its still only running at 24fps!

I thought Leonardo DiCaprio did a decent job, but you're right. They should have gotten someone with a deeper, "God-like" voice. But all in all, this film was amazing. You really get a sense of the vast immensity that is space, and it makes you feel so small and insignificant as compared to the size of our universe. I remember coming out of the theater as if I'd returned from somewhere alien and mysterious, coming back to the familiarity of Earth. The grass seemed a bit greener the way home.

@MasterGravitron All large format IMAX theatres still use film. Digital cant' yet even come close to IMAX film quality. You would need at least a 16k digital projector to replicate the quality of 15/70 IMAX film, which doesn't exist. The digital IMAX theatres, while better than a standard digital theatre because of the dual projectors, is a joke compared to the 6+ story IMAX film based theatres. And ALL theatres whether digital or film still run all their content at 24fps. And 80% still use film
