re: A must see!!!!

It's not out in the Uk for a while it seems, none of the Imax theatres I've found have the show listed in the next few month - which is odd because Magnificent Desolation was out over here at the same time as the US release.

I must admit - from the reviews I've read, it sounds like they didnt take enough opportunity to just show the mosaics in the way we've all described them as "big enough for an Imax screen" and indeed used the animation ( superb though it is ) when just the pictures alone would suffice.

I've read that the EDL sequence was re-rendered by Dan Maas to include the Gusev terrain and the actual bouncing data from the gyros and accelerometers on board the rover - that alone, plus the video of them building the things - will be worth the price of admission alone.

From a few of the screenshots I've seen - they've fallen short of showing the true extent of the thrashing about Opportunity did within Endurance crater - but anything that raises awareness of the a) existance, b) continued existance and c) achievments of these rovers is a very good thing. I cant wait to see it
