Pumps up the process of Cinerama.
After about 15 minutes, the curtains part, and the full, color, Cinerama picture appears; it's literally a roller coaster about to start its ascent. And darned if it isn't kind of thrilling.
The film that gave birth to the modern widescreen era.
One of those rare, never-to-be-duplicated cinema experiences that any serious film lover should make an effort to see while it's available.
Still impressive even in lieu of today's standards.
