Today I saw the IMAX release of Forrest Gump.
I was the only person in the theater, but I still had a good time.
Although this movie has often been maligned since winning the 1994 Oscar for Best Picture, I have always enjoyed it, I thought that it held up well.
Unfortunately, visually it wasn't great. They ran the film through an excessive amount of DNR, hardly any sign of grain was left except for the "Historical" footage scenes. I checked my copy of the Saphire series blu ray since coming home and that disc is much better than the IMAX release. I hope future releases aren't based on the IMAX "restoration".
