"Full disclosure, purists: I have never been a card-carrying Prince disciple. My pop altar has long belonged to Michael Jackson's immaculate geometry, the moonwalk as a sermon in suede. I appreciate Prince's cathedral of talent, of course, yet I have historically admired it from the steps. Last week's remastered Sign O' The Times in IMAX yanked me by the lapels and marched me straight down the aisle."
"The screen became a voltage field, the band a choreography of knives, and Princemagnetic, acrobatic, mischievously omnipotentproved why the faithful speak of him in weather systems. Then Sheila E detonated. Her godsmacking precision turned rhythm into architecture and flirtation into physics. By the third number, I wasn't comparing gods; I was taking communion."
The remastered Sign O' The Times in IMAX delivers an immersive, cathedral-grade concert film experience with crystalline visuals and precision audio. Camera movements glide like dancers, edits snap with musicians' timing, and the mix fills theatre geometry so synth stabs feel monumental. Prince performs with mercurial athleticism, flirtatious authority, and commanding stage presence, while Sheila E's drumming turns rhythm into architectural precision. The advance screening took place at AMC Kips Bay 15, staged by IMAX, Mercury Studios, FilmRise, and Paisley Park Enterprises, with a purple carpet and attendance from the city's creative class. Iconic tracks gain renewed impact in the remaster.
