i went to the late show here last night. only 1 showing, and it was in 3d. i've NEVER seen a movie in that format. 3 dollar upcharge, and i kept those mofo glasses (cause that's how i roll, yo).

i wasn't that impressed with the 3d, but it was a small screen blah blah. only chance for me to get out and see it.

worth every penny. fanboys unite!!!

Exactly. So not only can they charge you surcharge for IMAX, they can add. 3D surcharge on top of that. What a joke. No thanks.


Thankfully, Mr. Nolan thinks 3D is pointless as well.

MIB works because I don't think anyone has ever gone in expecting some type of tremendously written or deeply intelligent story. It's just for entertainment and it delivers pretty well on that so I expect the third to do the same.

TDK3 has so much pressure to be amazing based on the first two movies whereas the MIB3 just has to have some funny alien jokes, used time travel plots, and a few green juicy explosions and it will be a success in it's own relative terms.

I think most people think it's pointless because they've only seen it on tiny screens (where it is pointless) and they pay too much for it (which IMO is ridiculous... our surcharge is around an additional $4.50 for 3D).

To me, size is most important (and I think Nolan feels likewise). Bigger is better. And when it's big and 3D, it's ****ing awesome when used right. "Avatar" in true giant-screen IMAX was a sight to behold. "Avengers" is likewise much improved. But, again, I'm talking giant screen, which isn't what most people have access to.

I think if someone converted parts of "The Dark Knight Returns" to 3D and showed to Christopher Nolan in a full-sized IMAX, he'd feel differently about it.

pretty god damned good cam version of it, just finished it. almost thought it was standard def

Saw it again yesterday this time in 3D. Awesome. I usually hate 3D but thus one wasn't bad. Last movie I saw in 3D was Wrath of the Titans and it sucked. It was blurry as heck. It looked like standard definition with crap jumping out at you.

Locations. Will it still be in IMAX 2D the next few weeks?

[Buehler445]

So yeah. Even though you guys hyped it up, it was outstanding. Out-****ing-standing.

I can't think of a bad thing to say about it.

[The Franchise]

Two words.

****ing. Awesome.

It might not ever play in IMAX 2D. Might just depend on where you live.

JD would know for sure, but i think MIB3 and Prometheus are the next movies that have IMAX screens booked. He said Dark Shadows is having to share some IMAX time right now.

AFAIK "Avengers" is 3D IMAX only. If it were a film print, theaters could simply run one "eye" print for 2D; since it's Digital, the only way to see it in 2D is to ask the projectionist to put a piece of cardboard in the window, LOL. (I might just do that one morning to see what it looks like in 2D only.)

Right now it's splitting time with "Dark Shadows". It may or may not do that next week as well (5/18-5/24); I hope so, because "Dark Shadows" by itself will literally mean 2 people per show. "MiB3" opens on 5/25.

Since I talk about it a lot, I figured I'd post some pics showing what it's all about. These are some pics from our conversion (or, should I say, addition) for Digital. The first pic is the traditional setup, the "before" shot, of the IMAX projector at the window. We had to remove the 1-ton machine from its rail track and put it on a cart and back it up to in between the two reel units. The tiny port window was removed in order to accomodate the two side-by-side Digitals (Imax uses one projector for each eye, unlike regular-sized 3D films which use one projector that alternates frames). An L-shaped track was then laid down so we could pull the film projector out of the way and push the Digitals into place. They also had to cut down our old screen and replace all the speaker clusters and the subbass towers. I'll hunt up more pics.
