Yeah, I agree about that line. Such terrible delivery. Sounded like "th'dst". I don't think it would be controversial to say that Interstellar is better than Gravity on every level (and the two films are really only faintly comparable, the only similarity being that they take place in space), but ho...

In a perfect environment with incredibly slow film stock you could pull 12K from it, but it's always scanned at 8K for distribution. Is that right? Interesting, thanks for the info. From what I've read, Kodak claims a frame of 35mm film is around 6K, and a frame of IMAX film is about three times bi...

They might not be filmed with IMAX cameras, but filling the screen is just a matter of aspect ratio, which is easy enough to change. The real issue is the diminished quality from shooting digital. A good doc to watch about this is called Side by Side (which I'm not afraid to admit made me a little t...

Glad you liked it! You certainly deserved a good time after driving so much. What did you think about the film print? I was amazed at the quality of the IMAX shots. So impressive and commanding. Everyone's going crazy about RED's 6K sensor? Ha, try an 18K frame of IMAX film. ;) The texture of the fi...

I just got back from my IMAX 70mm screening moments ago (Metreon 16 show), so I'll weigh in on this. I can understand the position of those who didn't appreciate the sound in the movie, but I think it's just something that needs getting used to. A good comparison is Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Lo...

I ask this as a hyper-neurotic, hyper-anxious person. I, like many others, am driving a great distance for this. I already bought my tix. While Fandango doesn't really do returns, according to their website, they make exceptions and I would think this would fall under that. But the movie hasn't ope...

Oh god thank god I was not scheduled to work next Wednesday morning. I'll be watching it at the AMC METREON, I believe it has the second largest Imax screen in the country 8-) Hey cool, that's where I'm seeing it! I had to settle with seeing on the 8th because that was the earliest showing where th...

@yourstrulyinhd Thanks for having the consideration to put a spoiler alert on those images. I have not watched any of the new trailers and I want to stay as far away from Interstellar related discussion as possible (present thread excluded of course).

And it's not like 70mm IMAX is the only way to enjoy the movie (even if it might be the best way). A great film is a great film no matter if you're watching on 70mm or on an iPad.

@Sickofsickness You try to convince some friends to go with you, that way you might be able to split the cost.

Yeah this whole announcement was a mess. None of the websites seem to have the same information, theaters are suddenly switching to digital when they were listed as film, it's hard to know what to believe. For instance, earlier yesterday I looked up tickets for the AMC theater in San Francisco. Movi...
