Cineworld Unlimited Card (different question)

[JayToukon]

Another question to ask because it takes forever to get through to anyone at their call centre....

Do the unlimited cards cover the new digital showings that Cineworld play lately? I've still not seen any digital showings at the cinema and i'm thinking of checking out Robin Hood on Sunday

I've only ever had to pay extra for 3D showings with mine.

3D screenings are extra.

Delux screenings are not included.

Digital screenings just count as normal films.

Wouldn't this have been better posted in the Movie's section of the forums?

I suppose you got your answer so it doesn't matter.

 

[JayToukon]

Yeah maybe, but it's OK i knew it wouldn't be a long thread. Cheers guys!

I've never even seen this before, you've got me wondering what it is now.

"Briefly, the specification calls for picture encoding using the ISO/IEC 15444-1 "JPEG2000" (.jp2) standard and use of the CIE XYZ color space at 12 bits per component encoded with a 2.6 gamma applied at projection, and audio using the "Broadcast Wave" (.wav) format at 24 bits and 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling, controlled by an XML-format Composition Playlist, into an MXF-compliant file at a maximum data rate of 250 Mbit/s. "

Ha. Ha. Ha.

So basically it's not on a ream of film, but probably on a hard disk or something.

I think all 3D films now are digital only.

Would explain why my Cineworld (which doesn't do digital) doesn't do 3D
