amazed at how successful they HAVE been considering the
films they show are mostly crap (IMHO)."

Not being able to keep up with P3D, I don't know if anyone has reviewed
the IMAX movie "Cyberworld".  I saw it last week and was VERY pleased
with it.  I have seen many other 3D movies, including anaglyph shorts,
features like "Dial M For Murder" and the theme park movies "Honey I
Shrunk the Audience", "Terminator 2 3D" and the Muppet 3D movie.  I have
also seen the IMAX movies "T-Rex..." and "Journey of Man".  All these
movies had good moments, but all were not satisfying overall.  In fact,
after seeing "Dial M..." in 3D, I found myself feeling that the 3D
didn't add much to that movie - it would have been just as good in a
flat presentation!

But "Cyberworld" restored my excitement about 3D movies.  This was
everything I had ever wanted in a visual experience.  I feel it is by
far more engaging and impressive than any other film I have seen.  The
artwork is gorgeous, and the 3D effects really add to the film - they're
not just a gimmick or an add-on.  I had not expected it to be that good,
since the only thing I saw promoted was the Simpson's and Antz sections,
which were not the best parts of the film.  Anyway, I would not
disparage IMAX, as to me this film shows the potential of the medium.
