“They are going to close the IMAX somewhere next week and then reopen with laser for Deadpool. So after Deadpool everything should be laser. But that’s just what I heard, they might change schedule.”
This makes me happy to hear. I hope it’s true. I want to watch Deadpool, Batman v Superman and Civil War in 2D, though. Don’t like wearing glasses to watch a movie (unless that movie was filmed with 3D cameras, such as Avatar). But something tells me every movie with Laser will be in 3D.
You act like I didn’t know that already, waterguy. AMC Licoln Square used to have an IMAX 70mm projector, but they stupidly took it away to replace it with the Laser one, right before Star Wars was going to come out. They couldn’t get the permits and shit completed in time, so they had no other choice to show it in digital. They’re wasting all that screen on digital garbage. That huge screen was made for IMAX 70mm film.
@celboy – No it didn’t fill up the whole screen left to right. It was LieMAX. I can confirm that. Even the IMAX sequence still had black bars on all sides. I thought only the trailers were gonna be like that, but it turned out that the movie would be like that as well. I was so disappointed.
The IMAX scene on Jakku was basically a windowed 1.85 aspect ratio in the middle of the huge screen. Beyond lame and pathetic. I really wanted to watch this movie in IMAX 15/70 2D, but couldn’t as I live in New York. I also hate fake 3D (post-converted 3D). Those glasses were really starting to bother me. I wanted to take them off so badly.
It pisses me off how they promote this as “AN IMAX 3D EXPERIENCE” when it’s really not. They must think all of the moviegoers are stupid. They are robbing people.
“Nah, that stuff should all be 3D” – No it shouldn’t. I hate fake 3D. IMAX 2D is way better.
