Take a great director (Nolan), a great cast (Bale, Ledger, Oldman, etc.), a fairly solid script, some terrific CGI & stunts -- and watch it in the eye-popping IMAX format with a print made directly off the camera negative and you have one terrific cinematic experience. I was glad I waited to see The Dark Knight in the Imax format -- this is one movie that really benefits from the super screen format. If you haven't seen it in Imax, you really haven't seen it at all.
