I wonder why doesn't Warner release this set on Blu Ray. IMAX features should look incredible on BD.

Given that Warner's seems to have only to included lossless audio on The Dream is Alive, Blue Planet bluray's, and not on some other IMAX bluray's 'Sea Monsters' I doubt we'll see any future blurays with lossless - damn you Warners. I can't wait for Image's IMAX bluray's that I've heard will have DTS-MA (rumoured)

I saw a bunch of theme sets on Warners' site coming up in the next month or two as well. The Space one looked interesting, with a price of 39.99 for the 8 disc set. I didn't see these listed anywhere else though.

Most of them are only like 40 minutes right? So an 8 disc set probably only has about 3-4 discs worth of content I suppose. Even then the price seems good.

I just can't get into watching movies shot in IMAX 3D on a small screen in flat form. It's just not the same.
