Today I took my daughter to see the IMAX release of Steven Spielberg’s classic “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Seeing “Raiders” on the (really) big screen was pretty cool.
Spielberg was apparently very pleased with the film but I found the IMAX transfer to be a little sub-par. I know the movie is 30 years old but it seemed overly grainy and dark in some places … and a few times areas of the picture were blurry or out of focus. I guess it could have been projector issues, but for a “digitally remastered” film I guess I expected a little higher video quality.
Still, though, it was a great experience for both of us. I got a kick out of my daughter occasionally whispering to me “I remember this scene from the Lego game!” 😉
