Star Wars on the really, really big screen

Last night, Meredith and I joined anne and Dave at The Tech Museum in San Jose to see Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones on the imax screen.

First piece of advice to anyone else considering this: sit high. We sat about 2/3 of the way up and still spent a good part of the night with our necks bent over backwards. The movie, converted to imax format, doesn't take quite the entire dome, but close. And remember the chase scene very early in the movie through the skies of Coruscant? Wow. Dizzy.

The also edited the movie, cutting a few scenes out to get it to 120 minutes. Anne pointed out that they probably had to in order to get the film to fit on the imax reel.
