IMAX

Richard,
Your comment about the poor the quality of American theaters caught 
my eye. I think you are right. If you live in a town without a newer 
cinema, you might have a junkie sound system. My closest theater has 
only one THX sound system/screen and I saw GOF on that exclusively. 
Then I stepped up to IMAX, a very very new IMAX screen (GOF was the 
first film they have shown)and I was introduced to a whole nother 
level of sound quality. Your visual acumen is prodigious no doubt, 
but even so, the larger screen does make various levels of detail 
stand out. And, you must admit, there are a great many details in 
this film. JKR's world demands detail, layers and layers. (I was 
thinking this morning, the WW world is basically a world still made 
up of stories, the retelling of stories, the embellishment of 
stories, elsewise, how could you sell 2 competitions where the 
audience can not see one wit of the action??? But the stories that 
would be told later, they'd fill in the huge blank. Not something a 
muggle would cotton to) It's a real treat to have a chance to catch 
them. But to cut to the chase, you are more than likely right, our 
sound systems over here, at least on normal screens may just be real 
stinkers.
