Any film is better on the big screen. As for IMAX being the Technology in
place for 3D Movies, I do not agree. IMAX is expensive to show and
requires far more than 90% of theater owners would agree to. IMAX is
great, but to be successful, 3D has to be in most of the theaters not
just a few.

As for TV, who says we need to display them stereoscopically on the TV? I
do not think this is a requirement for success. All movies are better in
a theater. The only requirement for TV distribution is that nothing
special be required for the viewer to see the program. This is a legal
requirement.
