I hate IMAX as much as I hate 3D. Throw in dinner service and you really piss me off. The Chinese theatre is DEAD to me.
If you see Gravity 3D in the Dome instead of the superior presentation at the Chinese, then you deserve the worlds worst 3D presentaion (which is what you’ll get).
WHAT! THE! BLANK?!?! That’s just INSANE!
Oh well…IMAX trumps Dome all day every day for me. :)
The Cinerama Dome and the Chinese main theatre are both getting Gravity this Friday. Looks like the Chinese can book IMAX same time a film is at the Dome. I know Terminator Salvation was at the Chinese and Arclight at the same time, but not in the Dome.
According to the Flicker Alley website, there will be special events starting about Oct. 22 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dome. Anyone heard anything about this ?
I was just going to comment on that Chris. I noticed it when I saw Elysium and this Sunday I saw Worlds End and it was really noticeable. Not sure I am a fan of the new masking, I think it makes the screen seem a bit smaller.
No one seems to have reported this yet, but they have finally followed the advice of the wise and raised up the bottom left/right masking on the Dome screen – significantly diminishing the effects of the ultra curved screen and preventing that goofy effect where low center titles/logo bylines/etc. get swallowed up beneath the masking. Saw and confirmed this after seeing “The World’s End” on Saturday 8/24.
There are very few 70mm showings these days. The Academy ran what they called “The Last 70mm Film Festival” last year. The Cinerama theater in Seattle is slated to run a festival with some 70mm this fall, The fact is there are very few theaters in the country that can run 70mm reel to reel and the owners of existing prints will not allow those prints to be run on a platter. The Somerville Theater in Somerville Massachusetts has a screen equipped to run 70mm http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/483 and they are planing a festival sometime in the future. The Egyptian in Hollywood can run 70mm reel to reel do they get big enough crowds to justify running 70mm prints. I attended a showing of a Cinerama film that had been converted to video and the picture was full screen side masking open full and appeared bright and clear.
As a $15/year member, you get a $5 gift card, a free ticket the month of your birthday, and two free tickets to ArcLight Presents shows in addition to the other stuff. That’s totally worth it to me.
Well as an Arclight member I did get excellent service seat selection and feel I have been treated very well.
Arclight Hollywood appears to be having a French Film Fest in August.
Pierrot le fou – Aug 4 in the CINERAMA DOME
Band of Outsiders Aug 6
Breathless Aug 8
Amelie Aug 18 -in the CINERAMA DOME
All in 35MM
In Addition, Enter the Dragon July 21st at the DOME
And I was impressed at the picture quality, bright, clear, the sound was set a little low but the visual was very good.
I went to the Gatsby party at the Cinerama Dome on Thursday and the event was great! Well planned. Here is some video from the party http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxeaFpHOJ8w&feature=youtu.be
‘Classics in the Dome’ begins 5/3:
5/3, Friday Jaws
5/3, Friday 2001: A Space Odyssey
5/4, Saturday The Red Shoes
5/4, Saturday On the Waterfront
5/5, Sunday Lawrence of Arabia
5/5, Sunday Vertigo
5/6, Monday Dr. Strangelove
5/7, Tuesday Cool Hand Luke
No doubt all digital, but Lawrence should be 4K. Unfortunately, the CapeTown festival is that weekend, so it’s a no go for some.
AFI Night at the Movies returns to Arclight April 24. Highlights include: Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction and The Thing. As usual one of the 13 films screens in the Dome: this year it’s In The Heat of the Night, introduced by Sidney Poitier.
“East of Eden” and “Splendor in the Grass” are 35mm, the rest digital.
Now if they can only get the digital to look as good as 65/70mm
Are those classics shown in 35mm or, as I’m guessing, 2k or 4k digital?
Looks like Arclight has added some additional one-shot retro screenings at the Dome: East of Eden (April 7), Moulin Rouge/Romeo & Juliet (April 14), Slendor in the Grass (April 23), The Untouchables (April 30) and Citizen Kane (May 1).
Nice to finally hear from somone who went to one of the retro screenings. Glad to hear “Aliens” was a hit, Cliffs. Here’s hoping Arclight will indeed see the merits of retro screenings in the Dome and keep them going year-round. Let us know your thoughts on any future retro screenings you attend. I’m still waiting to hear from anyone who caught “Days of Heaven” back in Feb.
Aliens in the Dome last night was fantastic!! Looked and sounded tremendous and the theater was just about at capacity. Batman and Back to the Future are getting similarly full. Hopefully these packed screenings remind Arclight/Pacific that the Dome has value beyond being a 3D dump bin.
So did anybody catch “Days of Heaven” last night at the Dome? Do tell.
The Dome will also host a Die Hard Marathon on Feb 13: All five films, including the premiere of A Good Day to Die Hard. First film starts at 11:15 AM. Price is $35. https://www.arclightcinemas.com/movie/die-hard-marathon?lid=1001
All of those are available on standard DCP via the rep departments, so I would assume they are 2K versions.
2k, 4k, or blu ray or disc?
