There are very few IMAX movies that i have not seen--and China:The Panda
Adventure (CTPA) is one of the best. i don't think most people go to IMAX
expecting to see a mainline Hollywood-like production. IMAX movies are judged differently, in my opinion. An IMAX movie should make the best possible use of the large-screen format, and the focus of the presentation should be on the visual. CTPA does this extremely well.
It's true that the acting is not outstanding, but i did not go to CTPA to see Robert Redford. i went to see pandas and the stunning scenery of China. i was not
disappointed.
The last IMAX presentation i saw was "Amazing Caves," and i was immensely
disappointed. If you had seen the trailer, you had seen everything worthwhile in the movie. And if that English scientist/diver/narrator said one more time how
important it was to find bacteria so she could "cure new diseases," i would have screamed.
CTPA is done with a deft touch, with good narration and dialog and, as i said, stunning cinematography. It's a treat for the whole family. The fact that there's a "story-line" is just icing on the cake.
