Imax movies.

So I went to Niagara Falls for the first time yesterday, on my way to fly out of Toronto. Before we got to the falls, my Dad was absolutely bent on watching the Niagara Falls Imax movie.

Ya know how you get the funny urges to laugh at funerals? Something kinda out of place happened like that to me. I could not hold back from hysterically CRYING for the last bit of the movie, in the middle of the Imax theatre filled with jr high school tours. Seriously?! Crying. Like uncontrollable sobs. And I was laughing at myself because of the absurdity of my current state....which puzzlingly made me cry even harder!

Let me explain....this girl in the movie fell out of her boat and for a full 5 minutes (not exaggerating) was caught in the current and could not be saved. Oh, but there was a good attempt from people on shore to save her....but at this point, I was so stressed watching it that I had my hands over my eyes like a little kid. Well, good news is that the girl didn't go over the edge. But her brother and father who also fell out of the boat did. Womp womp.

The point is that there is just something about Imax movies that make a person react more outrageously. I mean, they announce before the movie even begins that people who experience motion sickness should probably take precaution and pop some Dramamine. Strong reactions? Outrageous reaction? Significantly more comical? Yup. Not afraid to admit it happened. It was really funny once I got out of the theatre!
