The IMAX Experience - Incredible!
PostedJuly 23, 2008

I went in with high expectations. They were exceeded, but in a totally unexpected way. I had no idea a comic-book action film could be THIS deeply involving, utterly serious, totally believable and disturbing.
If IMAX is available, why see it in any other format? It's simply magnificent and well worth the increased price.
Yes, Heath Ledger steals the show. Scary, fascinating, riveting, intense off-the-chain performance. One of the all-time great screen performances.
And I'm 63, worked in film and TV all my life (writer / producer).
As remarkable as Ledger is, though, everybody else is equally terrific. It's not a one-man show.
The cinematography is thrilling. The CGI is flawless. NOTHING looks faked, even when you know it has to be.
The best film in this genre ever made. Well, made so far.
Interesting that I noticed many people my age at the screening I attended.
The screening before mine, and the one after, as well as the one I attended, were sold out.
Yes, "The Dark Knight" deserves every penny it's making. May well be the largest-grossing release in film history, to date. It earns it on every level.
And yes, I'm going back at least once more, and probably a third time.
