   Right, but not amazing enough for it to become common place in over 50   
   years. Many "improvements" have been tried with films over the last 50 years   
   or so. Many were pretty amazing as a novelty. (the whole point after all)   
   But for a regular movie, not much has become "must have" technology for the   
   masses since the widespread change from monochrome to color film.   
   I still remember when we had a proper "Cinerama" theatre, with the first   
   films using 3 projectors. The wrap around screen was pretty "amazing" at the   
   time. But even the invention of single camera/projector Cinerama didn't save   
   what was an unnecessary idea for most films. It did make "2001" pretty   
   spectacular though, and it has never seemed the same on a normal screen   
   unfortunately, for those of us who remember.
