Quick summary: IMAX is worth seeing. The Day The Earth Stood Still, on the other hand, is not, especially if you enjoyed the 1951 classic.

I want to find out if there is a name for the style of cinematography where the entire film takes the form of “raw” footage shot from a single camera operated by one of the characters in the film, who happens to be in the thick of the action. If it lacks a name, I would like to suggest “cheap-ass cop-out suck.”

This past weekend, I took my nine-year-old nephew to see The Journey to the Centre of the Earth. I was somewhat intrigued, because some technologies were in play that I had seen before, but in a “not quite there” state.
