When [It] Strikes Me

I bought some IMAX stock last month because I do think Avatar (which I reviewed here) has brought us forever into the era of the 3D blockbuster.  I don’t think this will be something that fizzes out over time, though I’m hardly going to go rushing to buy a 3D-TV for my apartment.  I think that IMAX likely will stake out its claim to super-high def 3D entertainment and that Hollywood will continue its current trend of producing blockbusters in both 2D and 3D.

Two of the more intriguing products coming out are the reboot of 1981 Harry Hamlin vehicle Clash of the Titans and the sequel vehicle starring newly minted Academy Award Best Actor Jeff Bridges, Tron Legacy.  I admit a personal bias toward the Greek mythology bastardized by Hollywood, but I’m really pretty jazzed about seeing CGI neon in 3D.  Both [should / could] be awesome.

Umm… Awesometown! While I will contend that any remake NEEDS to have the bronze, mechanical bird (which was the avian version of the Antikythera mechanism – AKA proof that my people were inventing computers while Steve Jobs’ ancestors were still climbing trees), this looks frigging bad-ass.
