Own the rights?
CyberWorld may not be playing anymore at IMAX theaters (well, a few still do) as it has been about three years ago, but it was a very memorable experience.First off, I went on a field trip to see this, and when I saw the commercials, all that caught my attention, being a Simpsons fan, was the Simpsons sequence clips. Note that most of the advertising for the film was based on the "Homer3" Simpsons sequence, so everybody thought that it was mainly just the Simpsons...so everybody was excited. In my opinon, they really should have advertised on what more deserved reconigtion: The OTHER 3D films. I think when the creators of the film got the rights from FOX to use the Simpsons sequence, IMAX thought they saw the their way into getting people into seeing the film. Seriously, the Simpsons is NOT why you should see the film! In fact, that sequence is actually at the end, with all before being cool, 3D short films. First off we are introduced to a rather paper-thin, uneeded plot with a hostess named Phig (Jenna Elfman) trying to get rid of these 2D computer bugs (the only good part about these sequences were the fabulous CGI animations). What is the treasures are the short films like "Monkey Sushi Brain" and "Waterfall City", the last parts of the film include something called "Joe Fly", and the other animated sequence that's not a short film, a clip from "Antz" (probably because Disney didn't want IMAX using any of Pixar's stuff). Finally, while the whole "Galleria" plot comes crashing down, the infamous Simpsons "Homer3" sequence begins. Intrestingly, this is the only sequence that allowed 2D animation in (if you don't count the kinda 2D bugs), which was in a letterbox format, going to full screen once Homer steps into the third dimension. Yes, it is a sequence you could see anytime on Simpsons syndication (yet there are no syndication cuts except for the end cut out), but it is one of the better parts of (better than the main "Galleria" plot than anything else) the film. The Simpsons sequence cleverly adds that "extra twist" to the plot, in which the black hole Homer goes through (to which a suprise, IMAX allowed Homer to say "Crap!" even though it is a G-rated film) to suddenly try to suck in the Galleria, and somehow Phig manages to reboot the Galleria (in which we have to sit through that long and annoying "Galleria Loading" sequence from the beginning again), leading to a somewhat abrupt ending. And to a suprise, what else is playing behind the credits than...yes, the Simpsons sequence. In conclusion, it was a great little 3D IMAX film to go to, and there was a Simpsons sequence to it, yes, but just remember that is not all there is in the film!
