This theater has the largest traditional screen in nyc. The IMAX is a true IMAX not a modified 35MM screen IMAX. and the Loews auditorium is the only theater in NYC that is THX certified ( which makes a huge difference with the sound and level and …) has a THX certificate visible and the only NYC theater that actually employs the THX technology. Best sound in the city (Ziegfeld is a close second ONLY after the modifications made to the sound system prior to the exibition of Star Wars Episode 2 and 3) AMC Empire 25 theater 6 is good and was great back in 2000-2003. I wonder if their deal with sony is still a go with the SDDS thing… IN CALIFORNIA Almost all the theaters AMC or not Employ the THX technology… IF you ever wonder or have a complaint as to what your seeing or hearing whether it be 35MM (mostly everything now unless your at grubman’s mann theater on hollywood blvd in LA which is 70MM) RealD 3D Dolby 3D (3D technologies with different requirements and specifications as well as different results just like there’s a difference in LCD PLASMA and LED TV’s and the end result) XpandD IMAX 3D, DTS DOLBY DIGITAL SDDS (only in theaters not for homes yet SONY’S taking over… HIDE) THX certified (with or without THX certificate plaqued by theater) WETA DIGITAL DOMAIN INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGIC (WARNER BROS NEW LINE=THE SAME COMPANY) (FOX FOX SEARCHLIGHT=SAME COMPANY) DO SOME research and demand to be informed because I like when they use to show the green screen before a trailer and the popcorn and soda dancing before they would show they would show the DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL trailer and then the THX trailer and then the movie would begin it’s all part of a great movie going experience. AVATAR
yes it’s coming. There’s a midnight showing, not to mention the Digital 3D version. Surprisingly, the new MJ movie didn’t play at this theater in IMAX…only the AMC 34th street theater showed it in digital IMAX. Will this theater still play “Polar Express” in Imax 3D in time for christmas? Probably not with the arrival of Avatar and the departure of Xmas Carol 3D.
Does anyone know if A Christmas Carol in Imax 3D is coming to this theater? Can you order tickets for it yet?
The next movie to be shown after “WTWTA” is the Michael Jackson movie, which was shot with a Red One camera. It won’t be in 3D, although the concert upon which this film is based on had an elaborate 3D music video to be shown, but that didn’t come to fruition. After that movie, it’s “A Christmas Carol” in Imax 3D and Digital 3D and then Avatar, followed by Alice in Wonderland.
Wow…for a movie that hasn’t been advertised on tv yet but seen online by millions as well as in theatres, that’s some good news. Is the theater doing anything for its 15th anniversary on November 18th, 2009? That weekend, the “New Moon” movie comes out, although it won’t be in IMAX (“Xmas Carol” will be shown in IMAX 3D). The next IMAX movie to be released will be “Where the Wild Things Are”, which is a supersized version of the 2.35:1 version of the movie, similar to what was done to “Star Trek”.
okay so i called at the theatre today asking about avatar midnight showing. ITS SOLD OUT ALREADY!!
recently a 4k screen was installed at this theater.
An IMAX theatre already existed in Las Vegas by 1980.
Those paintings along the huge lobby walls of old Loews Theatres and movie stars are still there.
I saw the last HARRY POTTER here with a few minutes in 3D IMAX. The screen size and 3D did not add much to the film so I won’t bother this time.
When Transformers 2 opened this past weekend, all the IMAX shows were sold out. THe same could be said for the IMAX digital locations on 34th street and in Times Square. Harry Potter 6 will play only in this theater the day it opens before it expands to other IMAX theaters in the area, from what I heard, the opening scene is in 3D while the rest of the scenes are in 2d.
I agree. Does the theater still have the posters from the Sony days when they showed classic Columbia Pictures movies, or have they been removed? They were plastered on a wall alongisde the escalator that goes up to the IMAX theater, which is the largest IMAX theater in Manhattan, right next to the first IMAX theater that opened in 1982 at the Museum of Natural History.
Sounds like an exciting theatre—and a perfect one to play some of those great, golden oldie-but-goody classic films, such as LOA, WSS, Dr. Zhivago, Midnight Cowboy, to mention afew.
Up in 3D is playing at this theater. Transformers 2 will be the next IMAX movie to play here, followed by Harry Potter 6 a few weeks before it arrives in other IMAX theaters nationwide.
This coming Wednesday April 29, the final trailer of the new Transformers movie will be attached to a special IMAX screening of the first one for guests who request tickets by email. Seating is limited. After that’s done, the trailer will be shown before the new X-Men movie, which sadly will not be in IMAX but starting on the night of the 7th, “Star Trek” will be released for two weeks only before Night at the Museum 2 comes out.
Imax 3D didn’t start off in the Lincoln Square. It started out in Canada in 1986 with a film called “Transitions”. Back then, the only IMAX screen in town was the NatureMax theater in the American Museum of National History, which opened four years before that in 1982 and is still open.
Renewing link.
Advance tickets for Monsters vs Aliens are now on sale via a new project called CHEAPO MOVIE TICKETS. Tickets are only $14.00 for the OPENING NIGHT which is March 26 at 12:01am. These tickets are exclusively for LOEWS Lincoln Square AND each ticket gets FREE POPCORN!! For advance purchases the # to call is 212.588.0578. They also sell CHEAPO MOVIE TICKETS for other IMAX and regular movies. I got a ticket for WATCHMEN IMAX through them and loved the savings!!!
Advance tickets for Watchmen are now on sale according to IMDB. It’s also the closest theater out of a few in NYC that are playing “Fanboys”, which hopefully gets a wider release next week if it does good business.
I just went to see this movie at another AMC theater, the AMC in Rockaway, although it would’ve been cooler if the IMAX theater was open, despite the fact that the screen will be smaller than the one that I used to go to at this listed theater. The film was OK; the original is still a great sci-fi movie and worth watching again…..later on tonight it will be on Monsters HD after two Terminator movies, the first and second ones, which are the best of the Terminator films. Now that The Dark Knight is coming out in IMAX at my local theater, I won’t have to drive all the way to this theater and the one in Palisades Center to see a giant Joker.
My mailbox is choking on all these posts about a movie that will be forgotten in about five minutes.
Truth be told Bill, it would help to understand some of what went on in the new version if you saw the original.
I doubt anyone who has never watched the 1951 versuin got the whole “earth stood still” idea. All they know is suddenly all the lights went out and Kathy Bates tapped on her stopped watch.
One would not have understood the power of the three magic words which is never explained but used twice in the new version.
I could think of more reasons, but the main one to see the 1951 version is because it is so much better. There is very little to like in this new version.
One final comment: one of my co-workers just asked me if he could borrow the DVD of the 1951 version. So the new release has done some good after all.
Yes bill but it made no sense since unlike in the original the idea was to demonstrate the alien power, no explaination was really given here, and since the “mist” or what ever it was took care of that question, why did the earth stand still.? So stupid
Bill we really must stop now, we have pushed the limit I think :)
I realize I must sound like an old grouch to anyone who sees the new film and likes it. And on further reflection, I think the earth stands still for the same reason it did in 1951: as a demonstration of the aliens' power. It was just sort of thrown away this time, though (there I go again … :)
At the risk of getting into trouble here, and please if you have not seen the movie do not read the reat of this post.
Bill, So much mad me laugh, Kathy Bates as Queen of all things who apperently answered to no one till the end. Klaatu making the dial tone on the phone return, I mean, please.
So few references to the original, but one I did like was John Kleese as the “blackboard guy” who in fact was really the reason for the way the movie ended. Think about what he said to klaatu.
OK, thanks Vito. I totally missed that.
I don’t want to post any spoilers here, but you got me thinking: why exactly did the earth stand still? There didn’t seem to be any motivation for it in this version.
The final scene of the first version really makes you think. The final scene of the new version really made me laugh. For 20th Century Fox, it was Mission Accomplished: they got my $18.50.
