Filmed with IMAX camera; see it on an IMAX screen; skip 3D

Shang-Chi was filmed with IMAX cameras and it is well worth seeing in an IMAX theater! After seeing the dark images in a 3D show, IMAX is like night and day. WOW, really sharp images on a huge screen. I suspect this might be a contributing reason why the initial release was in theaters only. I liked this film and the bus scene is worth the price of admission.

Many multiplex theaters have scheduled multiple showings of Shang-Chi in 3D. I actually like 3D if it is done well. It is cool to bring a school-aged child and see them stick their hand out to try to touch a 3D image shooting out at the audience. But I disagree with the great 3D review this film got on a site that reviews 3D films. https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2573080/to-3d-or-not-to-3d-shang-chi-and-the-legend-of-the-ten-rings-simu-liu-MCU

They gave it 5 out of 5 in six categories and 4 out of 5 on Brightness. I saw it in 3D: it was just way too dark, or 2 out of 5 on Brightness. There were too few instances of 3D images jumping out at the audience. Not worth the premium ticket price for 3D.
