not really , :

 Hi Mark . I think I understand what you are trying to say .
To experience the actual wonder is far beyond what any 3D
Imax movie theatre can  _currently_  offer of course .




Yeah, it was a kind of pointless statement from me... it's of course not 
about a competition between reality and CG or other art, but sometimes the 
'real stuff' is so overwhelmingly complex and beautiful it almost makes me 
feel humble. Almost ;)




However , the APOD 2D (and 3D-Stereo) archive can and will be
easily outdone by talented artists using S/W such as RS3D .




I'll have to check that out!

 Anyway if you get a chance rent  "Mission To Mars" HD-DVD .

 Some loved it - most did not . The particle effects and
camera-matching was incredible for 2000 . Some also found
the plot incredible too .

but  me
  maybe  just
   that's

Saw it on DVD, the particle effects are awesome indeed!

But I prefer any movie by Aki Kaurismäki, no special effects whatsoever - 
the best Finnish export product next to RS3d ;)



as always: thanks for the links,

Cool image; I used to look at APOD regularly and had gotten out of the 
habit.


Thankz for reminding me how cool it is to browse through.
