I guess I'm just borderline paranoid because I saw I Am Legend at this same theater in IMAX and they showed TDR prologue. They have to be playing it.
I don't know dude, doesn't sound promising. That theater converted to digital in December of 2008 -- post TDK and TDK prologue.

If it's not in green on my list, you're probably, most certainly even, not seeing the prologue there: http://www.nolanfans.com/forums/viewtop ... 90#p273538

I hate to be picky but 65mm is used for filming. The film is then printed onto 70mm film for projection. IMAX uses 15/70 film. 70mm film that is run horizontally. Each frame uses 15 perforations.

You could call every IMAX theatre in the world and find out that none of them play 65mm film. If you call an IMAX theatre, just ask if they use film or digital. If they use film you have the answer you want.
Yeah, I measured the film again, you're right.

You've got some IMAX film, cool. I love how the image is so big that you can actually hold it up to a light and see what is on it. With 35mm or smaller, you get up real close and kind of squint to see what images are on it. I have some with the countdown leader on it that I use for bookmarks.

I have some 35mm as well. The size difference is remarkable.
