In 2000, show its latest technological skills, IMAX Corporation produced a 44-minute demo called "Cyberworld". It was her first home film presented in 3-D. "Cyberworld" played at the Imax Theater at the Universal City City before it eventually showed it in IMAX theaters around the world. He drew enough tourists to earn over $ 16.6 million in the box office, making the legitimate hit. Not bad for a movie built mostly of clips of other films and TV shows.

The idea of ​​"Cyberworld" was to turn existing footage of recent hit movies and famous TV programs in 3-D and present a small amount of fully original book material. In construction, "Cyberworld" was no different from the clip -show or traditional TV retrospective. However, in execution, 3-D (not to mention the great format IMAX) increased the clips to a great extent, making them a whole new experience.

The film opened with a computer animated host named Fig (ENENA Elfman), which served as a guide through the title of title museum. She led viewers on different screens in the museum, showing them the varied vignettes. Shorts include dance sequence from the 1998 movie "Antz", "CGI Homer³" (Segment of the "Simpsons" episode "Treehouse of Horror VI"), and the music video of "Five Boys Store" for "Release" (which has been observed for his digital animation). Cyberworld also features several already produced animated shorts, including "Monkey Brain Draws", "Cracken: Adventure of the Future Ocean", "Oeo Flu" and "Flipbook and the Waterfall City". A short called "Tonight's Performance", made by Rezn8 Studios, was made specifically for Cyberworld.

While FIG introduced these shorts, she revealed that the Cyberworld Museum was under attack by hungry mistakes that wanted to eat binary code. As such, Fig had to find the mistakes - played by Matt Freer and Canadian actor Robert Smith (without a relationship with the cure boy) - and destroy them ... as people who saw "Cyberworld" in cinemas, and probably Only Those people would know.

The inclusion of "Cyberworld" is that the animated, computerized museum is a kind of easy and nothing works properly because of mistakes. This forangs in 2000, when many newer computer technologies were still on their feet. CGI's functional films were nothing new from the moment "Cyberworld" came out ("Toy Story", "Toy Story", "Antz", "Bug Life", "The story of toys 2" and "dinosaur" all preceded it), but they were still considered a mild novelty, and it was rare to see them in 3-D on the giant screens of IMAX. Footage of the book material can be seen in The review of the film is easily accessible.

It was especially rare to see the Simpsons in cinemas at the time. The "Homer³" sequence was noticeable when it first aired in October 1995, so watching the 3-D on the big screen had to be astonishing. In the segment, Homer (Dan Castellaneta) locates a portal in the eerie and unknown third dimension; There, he rounded up in a figure of CGI, which stands in a large, open, black space like lasers spared from overhead and solid 3-D items that skip him beside him in the background. "This place looks expensive," he notes. Then, he said he would make the most of his best ... right before scratching his butt for a few extended moments and quarreling.

According to Vikita of the lost mediaParts of Cyberworld remain lost on time. It seems that the 3-D-converted sequences were not well taken care of and, from this writing, are not after the film is over. Parts of the "Anz" and Simpsons segment, as well as parts of "Flipbook" and "Tonight", cannot be found either. On the internet, of course, can be found from most of the "Cyberworld" shorts, but they are low quality or incomplete.

Cyberworld is a fascinating time capsule from a time when the CGI animation was still developing. It looks retro and rudimentary for today's eyes, but in the late 1990s, this type of work was expensive and rare. It will never be resurrected, unfortunately, because it has long been technologically overcome. Now it's just Curio of the time before.
