Just got back from taking my oldest to see what is probably the most perfect movie ever made on the big, big screen.

Go see it if you can, you might not get a chance again.

On IMAX, you can really see Belloq eat that fly.

What theater? Is it nationwide IMAX theaters? Didn't even realize movie theaters we're partially open.

This is the local IMAX in Bryan.

How crowded was it? I assume you have to wear a mask?

I thought theaters were opening July 31st?

Sorry, Raiders is my favorite. Really would like to see in IMAX, just not sure how 'covid safe' it may be.

Not crowded, they blocked off at least half the theater. It was maybe 25% occupied.

Yeah you wear masks. I hate wearing them (not a political thing) but if it means I can have some semblance of normalcy then it's worth it.

It's up to you on what you think is risky, but I personally don't view a mostly empty theater where the few patrons there are wearing masks as all that unsafe. There was at least 6 feet between us and the nearest people.

In theater now watching-the contrast is so washed out you can't see much detail; defeats point of IMAX.

It's like watching in 720. For $7 it's ok, but I wouldn't watch a new release here. I've seen plenty of IMAX releases and re-releases.

How can it be perfect if the story ends the same with or without Indiana Jones?

The Nazis would've never found the Ark if they hadn't followed Indiana Jones to Nepal.

Theory: The Nazis allowed their communique to be intercepted by the Allies because they had no idea where to find Ravenwood and they expected Jones would go looking for him.

Yes. I think it's a stretch to assume the Nazis could've found Marion without following Indy.

How did they know to follow him anyway?

Edit: Your theory pretty much answers this. I like it.

Also, this documentary is worth checking out. It's about kids who recreated Raiders shot for shot back in the 80s. Great stuff.

Met those guys when they came to town a couple of years ago. It was cool to see how it all went down .

The IMAX screen cleared up on the scene with Indy drinking with the monkey at the Marhala bar.

Theater had maybe 10 people in it. A mom with about 4-5 kids got up and left about 10 minutes into the movie. Who knows why, nothing scary had happened yet.

For our showing last night, there were a few scenes at the beginning that had minor issues with blurring here and there. But it cleared up fairly quick for us.

Get outta here. Last Crusade is greatness but Raiders is the reason for which the medium of film was invented.

Just because something's first, doesn't make it better.

True, being better makes it better.

Raiders is better than Last Crusade.
