Watching this for the first time in IMAX was a perfect viewing experience. The floor to ceiling screen and enhanced sound added to the drama on screen. A  serial killer is chased by two detectives (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) when they notice a sinister pattern. A really fun film of cat and mouse.

Synopsis: The new film from the director of Jackie and Spencer, MARIA tells the glamorous, moving story of the iconic opera singer, Maria Callas. Paris, 1977: Once the world’s greatest soprano, Callas now hides in an apartment, having lost her voice and retreated from the world. She dreams of returning to the stage, but can her body and mind take the pressure? Featuring some of Callas’s greatest recordings and starring Angelina Jolie in an Oscarworthy performance, MARIA is a sumptuous drama that hits all the high notes.
