I accompanied my dad to the annual NASDME conference in Portland recently and while he was off attending workshops I was out in the city. Amongst the places I visited were the OMSI which included an Omnimax theater. I was curious to check it out and the movie I ended up watching was To the Arctic.
I'll be straight up honest I only went for the IMAX experience. The images were definitely huge though I was expecting better image quality. As far as image quality goes, I actually later enjoyed watching the trailer on youtube in 1080p HD more than the actual movie. Admittedly the giant screen does have it's impressive charm though and you can blame my disappointment on my ignorance of IMAX movies.
As far as the movie goes it was pretty average though that doesn't exactly mean it was that bad. You got to see cool landscapes, and learn about the wildlife. I'm pretty sure the impression I have right now is exactly as the filmmakers intended; fascinated by the Arctic and sympathetic to the polar bears. I was disappointed at first, but in retrospect it was a decent made film, I was just expecting more than you can typically see on Animal Planet. It was also rather short. I also wish the environmental message was more subtle than it actually was.
One thing I have to complement about the movie is the soundtrack. It was pretty good, in my initial disappointment I don't think I expected to be later searching for the songs online.
In the end I give it a 5/10
