I’m a fan of the IMAX format, the original format, not those mini-screen IMAX ‘experience’ theaters. So I was happy to hear that J.J. Abrams decided to film a sequence in IMAX for Episode VII. (link)
A new featurette was just released with Abrams and cast members from the movie talking about how important IMAX was to the final product. See how IMAX puts Star Wars fans in the center of action like never before.
Are you planning to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in IMAX or will any screen format do for you?
