	I agree with Dale from Digest #215 about the use of "good film
technique" in The Dream is Alive being a detriment to the effect of
Being There that IMAX can produce.  I saw it on July 6th, at the Museum
of Science and Industry in Los Angeles.  
	The hold-your-breath awe that a launch always inspires in me was
missing because it kept getting short-circuited by cuts away to other
scenes.
	However, I found that I was mesmerized watching the earth pass
underneath the camera, and the minute the camera passed Italy, I began
anticipating Crete, so that I could see whether I could spot Thera (with
which I have always been fascinated) .  The cluster that's merely a dot
on most maps is truly obvious for the remains of a volcanic crater that
it is, from the air. I agree, Dale, I could watch the earth pass below
for much longer than they give you.
