Everest IMAX Movie





On Tuesday 29th September, we went to the IMAX cinema in Waterloo to see Everest. The fact that we went to the IMAX, made my cinema experience a whole different to normally watching It in the cinema as we watched it in 3D and due to the curved screen and all around sound which left me gripped the whole way throughout the movie.  The film opened the 72nd Venice International Film Festival on September 2nd, 2015 and it was released theatrically on September 18th 2015. It is based on the real events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, and focusses on the survival attempts of two expedition groups, one led by Ro Hall (Clarke)and another by Scott Fischer (Gyllenhaal).

Having seen Everest at the IMAX was a completely different experience. Firstly, the sound was something else and I could not just hear it but also feel it at the same time. It would literally vibrate the room and make the film feel so much more alive. This made certain scenes feel much more effective and surreal and was really enjoyable to watch. 
Also due to the large screen we were watching the film on, it made me feel as if i was almost there. The screen was curved so you felt more involved and all the use of these different techniques made the film feel more alive. 

I would definitely recommend to go see Everest as it was a thriller storyline and really good to watch. Make sure you see it at the IMAX as it was much more enjoyable :)
