It ranges from 2.39 for scope movies to 1.85 for flat movies
anyone know the dolby aspect ratio here?
seating count on this site should be reduced since the imax laser renovation. Saw Black Xmas in theater #15 just in time for the movie to start. BTW, select screenings of this movie and jumanji have A Quiet Place Part II teaser being shown exclusively before the film and i saw a bootlegged copy on youtube. Imax laser 3d debuts next weekend with the final skywalker movie even though its converted 3d so i’ll stick to dolby and regular when i see it in a few weeks when the crowd dies down.
The laser imax is ok. It’s much smaller than what it used to be. The seats don’t recline in the back. Picture quality is ok and the sound is decent but it’s too much money. Dolby is better.
Any impressions on the laser? From what i saw on advance tickets it’s selling really well because of frozen, which is also helping the dolby and regular screens. The 3d is not doing well. I saw a picture on google maps that showed the theater under construction and it shows reclining seats and the speakers. It’s also fewer seats than what it was after the imax conversion nearly 10 years ago back when Avatar sold more tickets at a bit lower prices and when 3d was all the rage. Now it’s all about 4k and even 8k in the near future. I’ll probably wait until Disney plus has frozen II.
Imax with laser opening with Ford v Ferrari then frozen ii
saw Ford V Ferrari in screen #2 and was told by the cashier that the imax will likely reopen with Frozen II next weekend.
Saw black and blue today in screen #10 and presentation was good. In the lobby there’s the amc imax sign saying it’s being renovated. I cannot wait.
Saw Zombieland 2 in theater #15 and noticed the image was movie like as i would see on my 4k tv with a dim image and some dull colors. It was a little blurry yet the audio was good and modestly loud. No imax showtimes for Skywalker yet until the theater opens in late november so there will be plenty of imax seats available while other showtimes will sell out.
Went to see maleficent 2 and thankfully amc management fixed an issue where the movie was only in 2d so they reset the projector and showed the 3d frames. Advanced showtimes now on display for the 9th star wars movie in addition to a long marathon of every Skywalker saga movie . Morristown is the closest with showtimes so hopefully rockaway gets them on Monday..
Thanks. Hopefully when the holidays approach they will start showing early movies again when Frozen II, Star Wars, and Jumanji come out…used to go there before AMC cut back on the hours due to low attendance. Might check out Malificent in Dolby and see Zombieland in regular this weekend. Can’t wait for imax to open late next month!!!
moviebuff82: Have responded to your query on Cinema Treasures' Odeon Leicester Square page. Also commented on the HFR aspect of “Gemini Man,” which might be of interest to you.
During the showing of Gemini man in dolby when I came in a bit late for only a few minutes the image was cropped so I told amc on Facebook to fix the issue which they did although the black bars on the sides were a little tinted. The sound mix was good and the image very bright.
The only high frame rate 3d showing this weekend is the reald 3d screening and most showings are 2k 3d, not the 4k hfr 120fps that Lee intended it to be. Most showings will do only 4k hfr 60fps, and that includes Dolby 3d, imax laser 3d, in several locations. Watching a movie like it is similar to putting on the soap opera effect on my tv while watching a movie and that could be sickening for some people. I’m glad that the dolby is showing Gemini Man in 4k 24fps. Addams Family is being shown in 2d. Next week Malificent comes out in 3d and regular while Zombieland comes out in dolby.
Saw joker in dolby. It filled up the screen. Audio was great and the picture and seats were great. Too bad it’s only out for a week before Gemini man comes out. Sadly it’s not in high frame rate 3d but it’s good news.

Went to see abominable in the 3d theater and enjoyed the film even though the sound was a bit low and the 3d a bit dark.
According to amc the imax will reopen end of November
Don’t use your debit or credit cards because they are transferring to a new chip system . All systems are down. Cash only.
advance tickets now on sale for Joker in regular and dolby. Saw ad astra on friday and the picture and sound were great. Rambo on saturday had no masking so i could see the subtitles; the sound mix was good yet the picture was a bit dark.
Just uploaded a pic of the closed imax auditorium.
Saw hustlers in auditorium 3 and noticed minor masking issues on the top side of the screen. Audio was great and presentation was decent. Luckily I was able to get my ticket hours after the site was down. The death of moviepass has spurred increased interest in a list and other services.
Starting next week the Imax theater will be closed for remodeling and will reopen soon with all the bells and whistles of modern laser imax screens in order to be on par with the Dolby auditorium which is doing great business at this theater. Hopefully they fix the aspect ratio issue when it comes to flat movies on the scope screen. I noticed that during my showing of Angel has fallen they windowboxed the Goldfinch trailer which was shot flat. It kinda looks tiny compared to flat trailers on the imax screen. Several movies will crowd the Dolby screen this weekend before Ad Astra comes out. It’s been 10 years since Rockaway got digital projectors and the imax screen, which was heavily promoted with the release of Avatar, a movie that has not aged well in the age of superheroes.
Should the seating count be lowered since the imax and dolby installations?
Just saw aforementioned movie in imax and noticed the projection improved a bit yet the audio is showing it’s age. Seats are a little sticky yet the movie was good. I saw the tenet teaser before this movie but no birds of prey trailer which I can find easily online on Twitter. Wb has been doing great with showing teasers only in cinemas and not online or on tv. This isn’t the first time it has happened and it’s quite popular.
