      Audience Member http://filmreviewsnsuch.blogspot.com/2013/04/cinerama-adventure.html Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Cinerama, the grandest and grand-daddy of all widescreen cinema, took audiences on rollercoasters, ski shows, bobsleds, over America, and out to the West in the 1950s. It became propaganda during the Cold War. It cannot be accurately reproduced in home cinemas. Cinerama Adventure is an interesting documentary about the history of the 3-camera Cinerama technology. Imagine the possibility if they could update this process using modern digital technology to add depth perception to 3-D IMAX. THAT would be sweet! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member You could not find a more loving tribute to a widscreen format anywhere. Various interviews and lots of clips from various Cinerama films and the people who worked on them. If your a fan of film history, this is a must see. Being a huge fan of the 3 pannel process, this was a huge treat. Excellent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
