My best friend and I sat myself down, still soaking wet, into the nearest open seats. The camera panned to a stunning 3D shot of the International Space Station (ISS), and I knew that it was well worth the long wait. In second grade, my class went on a trip to the Liberty Science Center. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst possible days to attend, and we arrived to see long lines of students in the front of the building. After only a few minutes of waiting outside, it began to rain. Since we…

Introduction Windowing was originally used as the film industry’s strategy to garner more revenue based off of one film’s release dates. A film would originally get distributed in a theatrical release. There would then roughly be a four month gap, or window, between when the film was taken out of cinemas and released via DVD (Miller, 2015). In having a gap between cinema and DVD release the film industry thought it would generate ‘hype’ surrounding the film. They thought it would create this…

One of the best examples of the power in a soundtrack is Christopher Nolan's newest Film; Dunkirk. I had the pleasure of watching this Film in IMAX 70MM and it is an absolutely fantastic experience, while I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil it; this is the perfect example of how to use music in film. Christopher Nolan is quite well known for having mostly good scripts that occasionally take a nosedive into heavy handedness and occasionally just really bad dialogue. Whether it's…

As the New York City Official guide, states on their website this is a “science museum with dinosaur fossils, exhibitions chronicling virtually all known animal and human history and, yes, some eye-popping IMAX movie action” with 5 million of visitors each year. For this reason, this museum is the second from the top 5 museums visited in New York. While I was visiting the museum I noticed people from all over the world as I could hear different languages like Mandarin, French, Spanish, German…

it tests the weight a superhero movie can bear. That Nolan is able to combine civil anarchy, mass destruction and a Batcycle with exercise-ball tires is remarkable. That he does it without using 3D is admirable. That much of it was shot in the 70mm IMAX format allows it to make that giant screen its own. That it concludes the trilogy is inevitable; how much deeper can Nolan dig? It lacks the near-perfection of "The Dark Knight" (2008), it needs more clarity and a better villain, but it's an…

started with American Express and bought all the stocks that I thought would gain the most money. All of those stocks included products that I knew would have good business and wouldn’t be likely to lose a major amount of money these stocks included Imax, Mcgraw, Microsoft, and took a chance with both Coach and Go pro. Go Pro was probably the worst one to pick as they lost a lot of money the first few weeks a lot more money than I thought they would. I also knew about a company called AMD they…

Shackleton knew that he had to keep his crew engaged due to the long days and months of unknowing. He ordered the crew to keep up daily activities, but insisted that all members participate in all activities; there was a sense of equality among the men. He was quick to reprimand those who created issues or trouble within the group. John Vincent was quickly punished for bullying and was made out as an example that infighting would not be tolerated (WGBH Enterprises, 2001). Again, Shackleton…

producers of the movie, Kip Thorne, also happens to be a physicist. Kip Thorne explains in his book The Science of Interstellar that everything shown in Interstellar is accurate and can be proven using a complex string of equations. Meaning if you took an Imax camera out into space and took a video of a black hole, you will see exactly what is portrayed in the movie. The graphics in the movie are so intensive that some individual frames…
