Godzilla should be watched in nothing but IMAX

I just saw this clip from the movie, and seriously, anyone thinking of watching this on a non-IMAX screen is not a fan. Two huge monsters and Ken Wattanabe (who has the ability to make anything sound interesting) is just too epic. Have a fine Cinco de Mayo.

  2. It does look like it'll be an epic movie (I agree with you on Ken Watanabe), but I'll probably be skipping it. I've never been a big Godzilla fan.

  3. It would be awesome if they'd show this on the real IMAX, not the fake kind, but they probably won't near me, just like they didn't with Pacific Rim. But yes giant monsters look better on a big screen.

  4. @Pat: Explain fake IMAX. I'm not sure what you mean by this statement.

  5. I'd probably die from terror if I watched this in a theatre.

  6. The real IMAX is the several-story tall screen they have at select locations, like the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn. The "IMAX" in most movie theaters is larger than a normal screen but it's not several stories tall either.

  7. Here's an old article to help explain it http://consumerist.com/2009/05/12/does-your-local-cinema-have-imax-or-just-imax-lite/

  8. Looks amazing! Not my kind of thing, but it does intrigue me!

    Thanks for sharing, Michael

  9. I wonder what the UK release date is? I'll be in London at the end of May and will be able to see it at an Imax ;)

  10. What if i watch it on my laptop but put my face really close to the screen, that'll be the same thing right?

  11. Yep, tentpole movies aren't worth the title unless they need to be seen on a really big screen.

  16. For some reason my computer won't show me the clip, so I'll watch it at work. But from the trailers I know that this is the kind of movie that has to be seen on the biggest possible screen. It'll be fun! A real summer flick.

  17. I've seen trailers for this everywhere, and I think you're right. IMAX is the only way to do it. Go big or go home. :)

  18. Pat is right. A full Imax is amazing. You feel like you're in the movie. Anyway, Godzilla looks scarryyy!
