If you loved The Dark Knight, and for some reason missed the original IMAX release, you really have to get out and see the re-release.

The full-frame sequences are jaw-droppingly gorgeous. And not jaw-dropping in the cliche figurative sense. No, they are literally jaw-dropping, your mouth agape in astonishment and disbelief at the all-encompassing celluloid beauty before you.

There are only a few minor points that may detract from an otherwise landmark theatrical experience:

1.     You need to sit as far away from the 7 story screen as possible.  I mean all the way in the back.   If you suffer from neckcramps or vertigo, you might want to bring a lawn chair and just camp out near the doors.

2.     My one serious gripe with the movie itself is its poorly shot and staged fight scenes, which many of us felt were shot too close up to begin with.  They suffer even more when blown up to Star Destroyer size

3.      It wouldn’t be the best way to see the film for the first time.  The switching  back and forth between regular film and IMAX involves a serious change in aspect ratio and visual quality.  It is more than a little distracting.  And once you see the  IMAX sequences, the regularly shot scenes (which include some of the best moments in the film) just don’t have the same impact.
