Feeling so jealous of you but then it's the only hall in India fit for a movie like that !

Was perfect, the whole thing. A 400km ride on my motorcycle after ages, barely any traffic as I entered and exited Mumbai on a Sat evening/night, the movie in an IMAX setting, a fanboi audience that was quiet and yet audibly appreciative, and loads of malai chai during the trip.

I like this re-release trend, won't mind making similar future trips if they were to do it for flicks such as Fury Road, Infinity/Endgame, Dunkirk, Inception etc.

You're saying they're not imax at all?

Without the bigger screen, surround sound and special goggles?

It's digital projection on a smaller screen vis a vis the true 70mm hires IMAX end-to-end experience. For someone who has seen true IMAX, it is really difficult to reconcile with the liemax. Details here -

What is true IMAX? Where can you see Oppenheimer in true IMAX? Is fake IMAX obvious? We explain

I recall watching Dark Knight and Avatar and those were some experiences.

Got it. I've only seen one imax movie and it seemed more of a gimmick

T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous (1998) ⭐ 4.8 | Adventure, Family, Fantasy

Entertaining but nothing more

In India there was only one "true" imax theater ever as far as I know which was Prasad in Hyderabad & it stopped showing imax films somewhere in 2017 (I think Interstellar was the last imax movie shown there) as its imax projector was analogue & didn't upgrade to digital projector which became mandatory for all later imax films. No imax theater in India currently can compare to it except one in Gujarat but that only shows documentaries & not movies as it is not a multiplex per se but rather an astronomy related venture. As far as size is concerned I think pvr logix imax in noida is the biggest imax screen currently in India but its quality is somewhat questionable (sharpness/brightness) considering it still uses an older gen imax digital projector.

The Proposal (2009) - 8/10
Remembered watching it on TV long time ago. So watching it again was refreshing and I also realized I didn't see the ending last time.

Enola Holmes (2020) 8/10
Expected a bit more mystery but it had fourth wall break and good cast which made up for it.
If someone is looking for more mystery than look into "Murder on the Orient Express" or "A haunting in Venice".

The Gorge 7.6/10

Anora (2024) ⭐ 7.6 | Comedy, Drama, Romance

2h 19m | R

m.imdb.com

Won 6 Oscars. For this?

Anoras acting was excellent and if the academy thought she deserved an Oscar then fine.

It didn't really grab me all that much. Dark comedy I can see in there. I haven't compared it with other contenders for the different categories

To get a better take, lookup the higher rated reviews on imdb. There's quite a few. I might think differently with a second viewing in the future.

6/10

Nothing comes remotely close to the David Suchet TV adaptations of Hercule Poirot. Some like him or Jeremy Brett are born for the roles they played.
Branagh with the fake moustache and the equally fake accent is meh ..
