Superman Returns: The IMAX Experience

A Broody Superman Returns Film Poster

If like me, you’re old enough to remember the 80′s television series of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe you can remember that it used what was considered at the time the cutting edge of technology, every week you would tune in to see a television masterpiece which captivated your imagination. This film to had me suspense, I had been anticipating it for over a year and my expectations were not let down in the slightest.
