Re: Polarizers & ghosting

Someone asked,
"--What polarizers does IMAX use for their 3-D theaters?"

I attended the IMAX located at Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas.  We went
with a couple of friends and all enjoyed the movie.  Val Kilmer looked like
he was sitting right with you....
Ghosting was severe, particularly in the aforementioned high-0contrast
situations.  I found it difficult to ignore the ghosting and concentrate on
the movie.

I am quite sure that IMAX was using the "Lao-tse" Polarizers.  There is
little doubt, for the whole effect cried out, "Lao-tse!".      ;-)

While it was a lao-tse experience, the movie was quite good.  Dare I say, it
would have been more enjoyable in 2D? the ghosting just about _ruined_ my
enjoyment of the film.
