Went to see an Imax screening of M:I Ghost Protocol last night and it was friggin awesome.

A lot of people say they go to the cinema for ‘the experience’ which I think is complete nonsense, why would anybody want to pay for overpriced tickets and popcorn only to sit behind someone who distracts you throughout the whole movie by playing with their iPhone.

However, after last night I am totally converted. The Imax screen was incredible, and Mission Impossible is the perfect film to see in that setting. Lots of explosions, car chases… and you really feel totally engrossed in the film because of the surround sound and the picture quality and size.

The film itself was fairly average, if I’d seen it in a regular cinema I probably would have given it 3/5. But because the ‘experience’ of the film was so good, I would gladly see the same film again in that setting. It helped massively that everyone in the cinema was there to enjoy the film, and the screen wasn’t filled with chavs talking, playing on their smartphones and eating loudly.

Tickets for the Imax screening were £17, even more expensive than the already high average of a London cinema, but totally worth it and highly recommended.
