Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark: The IMAX Experience (one week started tonight)

[Omaha Steve]

Marta and I saw the matinee tonight. It was worth it. One of our favorite all time films restored on a large format screen.

Release Date: September 7, 2012. Rated: PG. Runtime: 115 min. Studio: Paramount Pictures.

Indiana Jones, archaeology professor and swashbuckling adventurer, has unearthed many an ancient treasure. But now the very future of the world depends on his finding one specific relic.

With a bullwhip in his hand and a beautiful lady at his side, Jones journeys from Nepal and Cairo to the Mediterranean, dodging poisons, traps and snakes, battling rivals old and new, all in pursuit of an ancient artifact said to give invincible power to its possessor.

It's a battle to a startling finish, a finish dictated by the magic, the light -- and the power -- of the Lost Ark.

The IMAX release has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark will play in IMAX for a one-week limited engagement from 9/7-9/13

1. Fun movie, undoubtedly worth it in IMAX format, but not for me. . .

I stumbled upon this movie back when it was first released. My wife and I were in San Luis Obispo, California, a great little town on the coast an hour north of Santa Barbara. We went to the movie that night not because of the film (we had no idea what it was), but because the theater in town was an old 1920s art deco masterpiece, with a sweeping staircase in the lobby that lead to a balcony above, and a heavy red velvet curtain that rose before the film to reveal the screen.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was the perfect flick for the evening. We were captivated by how much fun it was, and even more taken by how well it complemented the theater. It was the perfect experience. We treasure the memory (it was so serendipitous), and wouldn't want to crowd it.
