Guardians Of The Galaxy IMAX Featurette Released

A new IMAX featurette for Guardians of the Galaxy has been released online, in which director James Gunn extolls the virtues of the IMAX format.

“With Guardians of the Galaxy, every single frame of this film was planned from the beginning to be an IMAX film, to be a 3D film,” says Gunn. “I love IMAX as a filmmaker, I love IMAX as a fan. IMAX is an immersive experience that you become a part of the screen, and it really gives you a chance to experience much more a movie than you would in a regular theater.”

Guardians of the Galaxy comes to theaters and IMAX August 1.

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team – the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits – Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in balance.   

The IMAX® 3D release of Guardians of the Galaxy will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of An IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology.  The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
