The effect of watching 'Everest' at the IMAX

The effect of the audience of key scenes created an emotion response. This was played out when Rob was seen about to die and Jans role played by (Kiera Knightley) was put on the phone to him by one of the volunteers working at base one. The audience in this moment felt upset and it was compelling as the scenes were filmed close up. The two characters played the roles well as they both became rather emotionally attached, which heightened the the meaning and effect on the audience. Another example is when Beck was awakened in the snow, or even the day before where the scene was very graphic, increasing the intensity and was visceral. The nose bleed was ambiguous and the cuts and sores on his hand made the audience emotionally incapable and upsetting. As we know later he lost his hands and this again was overwhelmed by the storm just before all the other characters coincidentally left the snow and the negative attractions increased the emotion.

Overall, I would say the success of this cinema increased the suspense and effect of the movie. The 3D technology, definitely enhanced the narrative of the film and kept me more captured throughout. I think for a film like 'Everest' 3D works really well, as you can capture amazing camera angles and sound effects and the use of 3D carries out a film like nothing else. I have seen the film twice, once at the IMAX and secondly at the Everyman and it is much more attractive at the IMAX and was definitely the one I preferred and allowed a different experience. It kept me alive throughout and intrigued me the whole way through which is good for a type of adventure/thriller such as its self.
