Fail... IMAX is just a big screen... Nothing special. IMAX+4D would have been a much better deal Sent from my Windows phone -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Omondi Sent: 29/03/2012, 16:30 To: Skunkworks forum Subject: [Skunkworks] Is IMAX bound to fail in Kenya . So we finally have IMAX launching in Kenya this weekend.with ticket prices at 1050 do you think they will survive where others have failed ? What are your thoughts ?

Hey Skunks Now that all the major players are sueing each other over infringment i.e. apple, samsung, android, Microsoft etc how does one go around patenting ideas/concepts locally. This is given that .ke is fast becoming an innovation hub I'm just wondering is there law/body that can protect the community? ./TheMburu -- Conservatism is the adherence to the old tried against the new untried.
