IMAX + 3D = WHOA!!

We watched “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” on IMAX the other day. Did you know it features 20 minutes of the most exciting scenes in 3D?? Oh my goodness…UNbelievable. And to see 150 hard-core fans donned with oversized glasses and goofy grins on our wide-eyed faces must have been priceless. “A” commented that the auditorium was a perfect setting for a groupthink study. When the row of green glasses flashed across the bottom of the screen, indicating that it was time to put on our funny shades, a murmuring hum traveled across the room, with folks gasping “Oh, it’s time” to one another while putting on their own, as if making sure that no one was left out. And for us, 3D meant an increase in intensity of flinching and tight grips on neighbors' arms. (Sweetie, are the bruises gone yet...?)
