The Dark Knight's IMAX Breakthrough: Behind-the-Scenes VIDEO

popularmechanics.com — NO SPOILERS, just a couple cool new action sequences... “Using IMAX technology to shoot some of the action scenes gave us the greatest possible canvas on which to tell the story,” Director Chris Nolan said. “The result is an incredibly immersive experience.”

  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -0/+24I saw it last night...the stuff they're saying about Heath Ledger is no hype - he is amazing. It's the best movie I've seen in a very long time
  • madmondo, on 07/18/2008, -2/+23This is going to be a kick ass movie
  • davidhildreth, on 07/19/2008, -0/+18Not much of a behind the scenes, just the trailer with a few short interviews.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -1/+17If you want a high-res vagina in your face, go get a girlfriend.
  • explnx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+13I don't think your average porn star would be nearly as appealing in concave super HD.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -2/+15What a waste of time, 95% trailer 5% interview.
  • RaulMuadDib, on 07/19/2008, -0/+12It is a kick ass movie!
  • TalSiach, on 07/18/2008, -6/+17I can't wait to see this movie, its amazing I don't think I wanted to see a movie that bad in my life , only the sequel ( I hope) for the boondock saints can beat that!
  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -3/+12oh man - I can't wait! Dark Night FTW!
  • doctordbx, on 07/19/2008, -1/+10Some girlfriend. You think YOU would have gone to the midnight showing.

    I'd be checking her text messages.
  • MrAlexanderZ, on 07/19/2008, -0/+9I saw an early free screening on the IMAX for the Dark Knight... it was the most exhilarating experience I have ever had while watching a movie.
  • diamondbigdog, on 07/18/2008, -0/+9This will be a blockbuster
  • btschul, on 07/19/2008, -0/+8This movie is definitely worth seeing in IMAX. (I saw it in a regular theater thursday at midnight, but I am going again tomorrow to see it in IMAX. I can't wait to see the pencil magic trick on that huge screen.)
  • louiebaur, on 07/18/2008, -2/+10Can't wait to see this movie
  • wanimayuresh, on 07/18/2008, -0/+8A little more real and a lot more intense—sort of like you’re in the action. Amazing Movie
  • dcd722, on 07/19/2008, -1/+9Just got back from it, awesome movie. Gotta check the IMAX out soon.
  • Mattress13, on 07/19/2008, -1/+9Just saw it in IMAX..best movie in life
  • Lochie, on 07/19/2008, -1/+9Saw this at IMAX last night, it's incredible, the opening scene is an IMAX scene and it's insane.
  • SpoonDigg, on 07/19/2008, -1/+7I would have to consider "The Dark Knight" as the movie of the year.. it's that ***** good.. enjoy it to those who haven't seen it.. i will guarantee, you will not be disappointed.
  • oboy, on 07/19/2008, -1/+7Saw it today. Better than my expectations (which were high)
  • H3BR3W, on 07/19/2008, -0/+5I really don't think it could. Nor do I think that movie should ever have a sequel.
  • junk, on 07/19/2008, -0/+5I was about to post a similar comment.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -1/+6or the HD sunglasses for $19.99.
  • YancyFryJr, on 07/19/2008, -1/+6The cityscapes in IMAX make you feel like you're flying over Gotham.

    It's kind of depressing to know that I'll never be able to go back and recreate the childlike wonder of seeing it for the first time on such a big, beautiful screen.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -0/+5You HAVE to see this in IMAX. The action scenes overtake your peripherals and really gets you in to the movie.
    Dark Knight has definitely set new standards on how an action film should look and feel.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -0/+5i'm saying. its good. but not as good as i was hoping. and that ledger was nothing short of amazing. BTW DONT scroll down if you haven't. the idiot below (pookkake) spoils everything.
  • BestJaxx, on 07/19/2008, -1/+5Than you are simply dumb. Other people liking a movie shouldn't make you hate it. Go watch it if you wanted to see it. Also, having personally seen the movie, I think that it is truly a work of art. That doesn't mean it is the best thing to ever happen to the world, it just means that it is a brilliant movie.
  • dfsjdkflasjk, on 07/19/2008, -0/+4As someone who has seen the movie twice already: if you haven't seen the movie yet, I suggest not watching anything else besides the movie itself. It's so much better when you see it the first weekend as trailers that come out within a week after the release starts to reveal more and more scenes that shouldn't be. I saw a few in this video already.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -1/+5How could Boondock Saints possibly compete against Dark Knight?
  • AdenFraser, on 07/18/2008, -2/+6Cant wait for Dark Knight, its gonna be intense.!!
  • klitzbtc, on 07/19/2008, -0/+3Yeah I got my tickets for Sunday, there's no way I was going to see this in anything but IMAX.
  • limpl0uie, on 07/19/2008, -0/+3I've seen it twice so far. On Wednesday (pre-screening) and today (Friday), both times in IMAX. I was just as blown away by it the second time as I was the first. One of the best films I've ever seen.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/19/2008, -0/+3I agree, I loved the movie but the last 40 minutes felt extremely rushed, the action sequences suffered from extreme shaky-cam syndrome and at the end of the day it felt on par with Iron Man.
  • BestJaxx, on 07/19/2008, -0/+3Why so serious?
  • tjmb9, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2so what you're saying is....wait, what are you saying?
  • artfiend77, on 07/19/2008, -1/+3I'll give you 5 to delete your digg account.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -3/+5shun me if you shall, but i was dissapointed. It was an amazing film, but all the hype took it too far. The one thing however that made this movie was as everyone says, ledger. Batman was better in the first one, he just wasn't dramatic enough in this one really. He appeared too much, and i would prefer the human side of the guy to go in more depth. The change in Rachel's character just kept throwing me off (but i can't complain, or else we would have to watch Holmes butcher the part). There were some great subplots, but overall it couldn't stick to one aspect and let us dwell. It didn't create a main story for us to follow and get lost in. It didn't draw me in like the first one did. Don't get me wrong, many things went well, and overall it is better than the 1st (mostly cuz of ledger), and it is the best movie of the year, but just don't let the hype get to you is all. Oh, and yes, it does deserve a second viewing.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2im looking forward to dvd commentary cause that should be a lot better than this nonsense.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2I was personally distracted by the constant shifting between IMAX and 35mm during the film (and the ***** next to me who kept talking and making noise the whole time) Which is strange because a guy I was with didn't even notice that parts of the film took up the whole screen and other parts only took up half of it.
  • sab0tage, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2I'm going to the Odeon IMAX in Manchester, it's a 50 minute train journey rather than the 5 minute walk to my local cinema, but *****, I can't wait.
  • sangres, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2It feels like you are flying in some of the IMAX scenes... Incredible!!! :) great movie 10/10 also from me.
  • Chunandler, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1Maybe I missed something, but I'm pretty sure it was a memorial service, as in he died for sure. Also, Bruce Wayne clearly said the city must never know that he had turned.
  • aksn1p3r, on 07/18/2008, -2/+3Yea dark knight is gonna off the hook!
  • inactive, on 07/18/2008, -1/+2amazingmovie
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -1/+2I ***** hated this movie because I had to see it in a sold out movie theater and ended up being forced to sit next to some ***** that kept talking. The guy sitting right next to me also spent the entire ***** movie chewing loudly on an empty paper cup and a straw. However, he looked like he was a Neo-Nazi so I figured if I bitched at him he'd probably stab me or something.
  • RaulMuadDib, on 07/19/2008, -2/+3It is intense!
  • vulpoi, on 07/18/2008, -2/+3It surely must be a great experience to be the producer of such a movie
