Michael Jackson was always larger than life, perhaps even more so after his passing.
How better then to do him justice than on IMAX movie screens, where fans get a visceral experience of "This Is It," his blockbuster concert rehearsal film currently in theaters, which drew in more than $20 million at the box office on its opening day.
While IMAX digital-mastering always offers eye-popping picture quality and sound that makes you feel immersed in the movie's aural world, these enhancements are especially valuable in a concert film - which much of "This Is It" is.
