Weekend Movie Roundup

I saw two movies this weekend. The first was Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience . It was the first feature film I've seen in an IMAX theater, and, although ticket prices were a bit steep ($11), it was very fun. Of course the visuals were great, but what I really liked was the sound. The rumble of the Saturn V taking off was amazing, and all of the audio was crystal clear. Joel pointed out that a few minor scenes had been cut from the movie, but since the film ran for exactly 2 hours, I'm willing to chalk it up to technical limitations.

This afternoon I caught a matinee of Finding Nemo . It was a terrific film; solid Pixar . I don't think it was as good as Toy Story, but it was better than Monsters, Inc., regardless of what Michael Tsai says . The short at the front of the film was very entertaining as well (I loved the pissed off snowman face). I really should add A Bug's Life to my Netflix queue, as it's the only Pixar feature I haven't seen.
