Avatar 3D IMAX?

[Ziggy]

If you're going to watch Avatar I suggest you sit on the top row to avoid any "splash damage" from the geeks who will be fapping manically for two and a half testicle-grinding hours.

Just make sure Neil Fawcett isn't in the row above you.

LOL

Would prefer to see this at an IMAX but Cornwall doesn't have one as far as I know and I'll be ****ed if I'm going to travel 50 odd miles to Plymouth (if they've even got one) just to watch a film.

Just make sure Neil Fawcett isn't in the row above you.

Ah yes! Neil!! I argued with him about Avatar until he mentioned that Cameron's characters have scenario, depth and are well developed (i.e Terminator, True Lies...) and they are not only CGI FX. I stopped posting after that.

Same think we are going for the 1.30pm showing!

z0mfg share popcorns?!

We're going to the 5.30 screening

Are you studying at Aton College by any chance?

I'm going to the imax near the bull ring on Saturday to watch it.

 

[Gustov]

Going to see it on Xmas eve at London IMAX in row G! (probably a tad too close)

Eton? No chance. I'm an (old) Wykehamist through and through

AFAIK This film is not filmed in IMAX. It will be like other "normal films" shown in IMAX (They normally upscale the film (DMR) and use borders so it will not take up the full IMAX screen).

I would've thought it'd be more likely to be filmed in IMAX resolution since the whole film is done in CGI (I think), which means its just a case of changing the rendering resolution.

Watched avatar 3D at my local cinema yesterday, awesome film .

Pretty much the same as the one here in Bristol.

The IMAX tickets in Birmingham are only £9 too - cheaper than the director's lounge screens at my local Showcase.

There's no IMAX in Brizzle any more? Harsh

 

[DanMc07]

do imax screens allow you to use orange wednesdays? I've never been to an IMAX cinema before so I don't know!

[MiNxYyY]

Sorry i meant 3 hours 6mins

?? I'm pretty sure it was less than three hours.

EDIT: IMDB: "Runtime: 162 min"

BFI IMAX (London) is booking until the end of January. It's pretty full though, so I wouldn't be surprised if they extended it.

EDIT: The next big IMAX flick is Alice in Wonderland I think, which is in March.

Watched the film a the Cineworld in Glasgow. Story wise, no real surprises but visually it was stunning.

Avatar was shot and intended to be shown in FULL digital 3D Imax. There are no black borders on our Digital Imax screen.

Only seen the trailer in Digital 3d Imax and it was ******* immense.
