Ted Sarandos Quotes

Experiencing this film in 2-D is only getting about 20 percent of the experience of 'Gravity.'

The grand scale and immersive nature of The IMAX Experience gives 'Spiderwick' a brand new level of excitement. In IMAX theatres, fans will be drawn into the movie even further and feel as if they are actually part of the story.

It's quite amazing what 3D is doing to movies. Just simple things like a paper plane flying at you or flower petals fluttering about are wonderful.

I'm a big fan of IMAX/3-D films; I love that whole experience.

The cinema is really built for the big screen and big sound, so that a person can go into another world and have an experience.

I'm such a proponent of the theatrical experience and the cinematic experience, and we've reached this point where the magicians are not only giving away their tricks, but they're telling us how they're doing the tricks in advance before you even come to the magic show.
