So, I was sitting there on my blog, with all my readers getting more and more anxious to see the new movie, when drkllpnt the great writer extraordinaire finds something that raised the hair on the back of my neck. It was the first 6 minutes of the movie!

There are some other great stories about The Dark Knight and Batman in general at the blog as well. I think this may live up to the hype.

It does (live up to the hype) -- especially if you see it projected in Imax format. That opening six mins, and certain various sequences within the movie, particularly the panoramic sequences, were shot on Imax cameras.

So Dark Knight is huge in both scope and in its booming, rumbling sound. The score sounds especially rich and thrilling during the Imax cinema experience.
