Right, British UMSFers..
Roving Mars starts at the Birmingham Think Tank Imax theatre next weekend...but hold your horses http://www.imax.ac/schedule.htm 1200, 1515 and 1830 are the showings. Anyone fancy a get-together on April 21st? I can't make any promises, but it should be more than your usual showing - and it's on 3 times in the one day. Think Tank is about 3/4 mile from Birmingham New Street (I will travel by train from Leicester and I would aim to get there before the first of the three showings on the day - about 11ish Once I know more details, I'll let you know Doug |

At the end, I saw it!
I took advantage of a family trip to Paris, I went to the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie where RM is projected in the "Geode" IMAX cinema (a beautifull structure) twice a day. Like others, I liked very much the sequences of MER construction\testing (hey, there is also a scene with SS in cow-boy version! ). But what I prefere is the movie of the launch and the CG sequences of landings, the realism is fabulous and the impact of very high definition super-wide angle picture is breathtaking... in a particular sequence, I had the strong feeling to be an ant looking to a giant rover over me... Audience applauded at the end of projection and my sad thinkng was: why ESA do not makes something like this about Titan\Huygens?"... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
