Wrath Of The Titans (Mar 2012)

My next most anticipated 3D blockbuster movie is non other than the Wrath Of The Titans. This is a follow-up installment from Clash Of The Titans (2010). It looks very promising, at least from the posters and trailers released so far. 

As per the first installment, there are lots of different unthinkable creatures/monsters and fighting sequence to be appeared in this sequel as well. It seems that the fighting element is switched from water/sea to fire/lava and lots of it.

This is the kind of movie that worth catching it in IMAX 3D, I will definitely do. It will be released in US on 29th Mar 2012. Hope it comes sooner to Singapore, can't wait for the release!

Enjoy the sharing...

IMAX Theatre In Singapore

As per my earlier post on What's Next After 3D Movie Experience? The next best thing in movie experience is IMAX (even better if it's 3D in IMAX). Today, I am going to share a bit more of the one and only IMAX Theatre in Singapore: Shaw Theatres Lido IMAX.

I've been to the IMAX theatre a couple of times and the experience is UN-BEATABLE! You can really sense the different from the non-IMAX theatre. I consider it as an ultimate and wholesome movie experience. Thus, it is a premium worth paying for.

Following are some tech spec of IMAX extracted from Show Theatres' website:

Virtually all aspects of IMAX®’S digital theatre system have been customized specifically to deliver The IMAX® Experience. The integrated suite of proprietary IMAX ® technologies with dual digital projectors, laser-aligned digital surround sound and IMAX®’s patented theatre geometry are to deliver the world’s most immersive movie experience.

IMAX ® theatres’ are specially designed where the seating decks are steeply raked. Unobstructed panoramic views place audiences right in the on-screen action. A large effective screen width is achieved by bringing the screen closer to the audience. IMAX ®’s customized, patented theatre geometry provides and immersive experience equal to 20-230% increased screen area.

In IMAX ® 3D, images literally jump off the screen and into your lap!

IMAX Project that made the difference!

Oscars 2012 Winners

I know this is not directly related to 3D movies, but being the world's most prestige awards ceremony in show business, I thought it is just about right for me to share the winners of this year's Oscars Awards here as well. This year, Billy Crystal returned to host the 84th Annual Academy Awards.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners! Keep the surprises come in us with all your creativity and talents.

One take that I've gotten from this years' winners list is "Old Is Gold"!

SPECIAL: What If I am John Carter?

I was pretty much rendered speechless when first saw the official trailers of "John Carter", the forthcoming big budget blockbuster movie to be released in IMAX 3D. It strikes me as "Star Wars" meet "Avatar" ! The special effects and fighting sequence are just pure AWESOME! 

This set me thinking of one silly question, "What if I am John Carter?". In the movie, the main character, John Carter, was stranded in an alienated planet (Mars), he need to fight for his life against the bad and protect the good. Along the way, he make friends with strange creatures/species. So, what would I do if I am John Carter?

Being a humankind trying to promote positivity and happiness in the online community on earth, I believed I will bring along my strength of positivity to Mars and try to influence the species/creatures there (assuming I can communicate with them) for unity. There would be NO war, NO races, NO inequalities... PEACE and HAPPINESS will be the new motto in Mars!

What about you? What if YOU are John Carter? Feel free to share your most imaginative idea here. 

Cheers!

Catch John Carter in cinemas this 8 March 2012 and like the Official Disney Studios Singapore Facebook Page and follow @DisneystudiosSG on Twitter!
