I had my first IMAX experience last night. I really can’t think of another movie that would’ve been a better devirginizer for the 72′ tall, fully panoramic screen than Superman Returns. Everything in the movie – the script, story, characters, environment, music, everything – was exactly as it should’ve been.
What really surprised me about the movie was its overwhelming sense of reality. From Clark and Martha’s powerful sense of loneliness, to Lex Luthor’s unbridled malcontent, to Lois’ struggle with moving on from the man who she thought had abandonded her, to the feelings expressed by Jason (Lois’ child), everything seemed to have a very strong sense of realism. The movie was able to strike a chord with my emotions, which is a pretty difficult feat for a “comic book movie”.
