Taken in New York City, US on August 12th.
Attempted to capture the partial solar eclipse by overlaying my curved eclipse glasses over my phone. Got this shot that almost resemble that one symmetric planets shot from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Saw The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm on opening night at AMC Lincoln Square, New York City. By the gods, what an experience! With many amazing shots, hauntingly beautiful moments, the sounds, and Ludwig's banger score, it felt like I sailed together with Odysseus. Remembering the experience after a night of sleep feels like remembering a epic (pun intended) dream I had.
Glad to witness the first fully IMAX 70mm film. It's clear the newly invented camera benefited the production a lot, with more flexible camera movements and characters speaking in scenes rather than being dubbed in post like before. Thank you Nolan and IMAX for pushing the tech forward
Took place during the Disclosure Day NYC premiere on June 8th 2026, before the start of the screening.
📍David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, New York.
Came out from seeing Backrooms, now I can't see my theater the same way again. Every empty corridor and space feels a bit surreal to me, like I just stepped into a different dimension, into the backrooms.
The last time a movie made real life feel alien/different like this for me was Annihilation (2018), where I felt like I was trapped in the Shimmer during cloudy days.
📍AMC Empire 25 in Manhattan, NY.
OG Top Gun's cinematography, despite being from way before IMAX, worked really well with the bigger screen. Idk how but it added more weight and intensity to the dogfights.
Maverick's expanded aspect ratio worked wonders putting you onto the pilot seat and making you feel the raw power and agility of the jets.
With both's sound, really loved the bass literally shaking your seat when it got intense enough, also love how loud the thrusts are.
Amazing experiences through and through. Happy 40th Anniversary, TG!
The movie that sparked my interest in 2D & real life hybrid films when I was young.
After more than 2 decades, I finally got to see it in theater for the first time. Still a very fun watch, had many laughs with the audience.
Happy 30th Anniversary, Space Jam!
Release May 18th, 2001. Today is same day of 2026.
I got to see it in theater for the very first time, after have watched it many times at home when I was young. What's your experience with this anniversary?
Have seen Shrek many times at home when I was young, lived through all the memes, yet I never seen it in theater until today.
Happy to be able to revisit this gem on the big screen for the first time. Happy 25th anniversary Shrek!
speaking of memes, some guy in my showing screamed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP" when that moment came up
I actually never seen either film. Only learned of this franchise when I came across many appraisals over Maverick back in 2023, unfortunately I was in college and focusing hard, so I had to skip. I did make a promise to myself that I will watch the 2 films one day, tho due to busy life, I slowly forgot about that promise... until I was reminded of it by the news of both films' return to theater for 40th Anniversary.
Took this chance to tap myself into Top Gun for the first time, grabbed tickets for both films on May 13th.
And BOY was it an absolute thriller with many spectacles. When the flights get intense, they get INTENSE. Got me bit emotional too, >!with goose's passing in og and evey scene with Iceman in Maverick (especially knowing the fate of his actor Val Kilmer).!<
Due to my theater's showing arrange, I could only watch them in reverse order, ended up with 1PM for Maverick follow by 4PM for og Top Gun. Still works, for I got to point out every "Ohhh so that's where it came from" when I watch og at last. I can imagine for veterans who saw the og on release, seeing the call backs in Maverick after 30+ years must be amazing and emotional.
Learned of the several passings post watch. Rip, Tony Scott, you made a classic and a banger. And too to mentioned Val Kilmer, as well as Clarence Gilyard Jr. as Sundown in og.
