The Dark Knight

www.888dag.com

Pommygran8 and I went to the movies yesterday and saw "The Dark Knight" at the Imax Cinema in Darling Harbour. What an experience! The film was excellent, acting terrific and Heath Ledger as the Joker was outstanding. The Imax sensation immersed you into the film and I strongly recommend viewing it in this format. Make sure you sit at the back and in the middle for the best view.

A bit of a let down was "the Golden Compass" which we saw on Foxtel last night. Having read the Philip Pullman His Dark Materials trilogy, the film missed the mark for me. The CGIs were excellent but the film lacked the courage of the books.
