What makes an action movie great? Action scenes, of course. Whether it's an oversized vehicle careening out of control through an urban space, fighter jets zooming through clouds on a clandestine mission, or giant monsters attacking, well basically anything they want to, such scenarios grab our attention and make us want to see more.
Cinematography and visual effects are a big part of what makes action movies exciting, but the soundtrack contributes equally to the experience. Well-outfitted theaters, particularly IMAX ones, bring movie sound to life in a spectacular manner, creating a level of 3D immersion that makes the speakers in even the best 4K TVs seem toy-like.
