This movie (while I stoppd posting them after a while) had an awesome if not long viral campaign.

Which culminated in the giving away of free tickets to see it in iMax all over the country (and even parts of Canada)

There is also a cool news segment, which for anyone who saw the prologue would get a kick out of the most recent one.

I effin' hate IMAX. Just sayin'. I see no point in seeing a movie in an IMAX theatre...

I'll wait for the DVD. With all the viral videos and numerous clips available it feels like I saw the movie already. I'm Batmaned out.

Bigger screen.
Better image quality.
Sound.

In the case of this movie about 20-30 mins that were filmed with imax cameras so will look their best in the imax format.

You will go see in theaters.
Even if Wen and I have to drag you to a midnight show after the concert.

Maybe I'm just spoiled. At the theatre I used to work at we had a screen that was 70'x30'. That's not as tall as an IMAX, but its as wide as some, and you don't have to suffer through the black bars or edited down movies or anything.

And now I work at a theatre that's all digital, which is better no matter how big your screen is, so...

IMAX is wasted on me...

Nah, you're wrong there. You get way more detail out of 70 mm film than you will from digital movies for at least the next decade or two.

But most movies that run on imax in regular old movie theaters aren't using 70 mm so the point for the most part is moot. But for a movie like Batman, much of it filmed on 70 mm? Oh buddy I can't wait.

Just got tickets for Friday at around 2 PM. Excited!

Dyne · 07-16-2008, 07:49 PM

Just got my iMax tickets for Sunday at 7:00pm.

DeathsHand · 07-16-2008, 07:57 PM

I like to follow reviews on rottentomatoes.com...
You know... just for kicks.

5 out of the 6 negative reviews it's received so far were from New York publications.
CONSPIRACY!?!??!

Holy shit Batman, holy effin shit. I just got back from a advanced screening. I dont even know who I am anymore, except that I'm nothing compared to this movie, and never will be. I can't even watch another movie now because I know it won't be as good as this one. I've got tickets for the IMAX showing this weekend that I bought weeks in advance and I absolutely cannot wait to see it again. I'm actually more excited to go see it again than I was before seeing it for the first time.

Anyways, yeah, guess I hyped it up a bit...go see it

BreakABone · 07-17-2008, 12:19 AM

I just got back from an advance screening as well. In Imax.

The movie is awesome. even with my level of hype and everything I knew they still managed to surprise me.

And they broke a rule of comic book movies which was nice.

And you have to see the Joker's magic trick.

I've seen movies in IMAX and it was nothing special, at least compared to what I've seen. If you're used to smaller "regular" theatres and the projectionists aren't very good, I'm sure IMAX is amazing. But when you've been able to go to something like the Cine Capri and digital, its not that great.
