70mm I hope.
Is Dark Knight to be shown here in digital projection or 70mm?
December 16th is when the new footage will be shown before MI4 exclusively at this and other IMAX 70mm theaters.
This theater is one of many 70mm IMAX Screens that will preview the new Dark Knight rises prologue that will be shown only with 70mm IMAX prints of Mission Impossible, Ghost Protocol. In 2013, the IMAX theater will use digital laser technology created by IMAX with help from money losing Eastman Kodak, which is undergoing a major restructuring. 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of this landmark theater.
yes.
Justin, do you mean a Forever 21 store?
Tron Legacy will have its legacy short-lived when it gets replaced by Green Hornet IMAX 3D. This theater as of January 2010 has outlived the Barnes and Noble store, which will be replaced by a Century 21 department store in a few months.
Ticket prices are outrageous at this theater..although it’s one of a few true IMAX theaters to show film. BTW, all 13 screens are now digital. The Social Network is being shown in blown-up format, which makes the film a bit blurry on that giant IMAX screen lol. No new IMAX films until Harry Potter 7 and Tron 2. Tron Night is sold out (20-minute sneak peek of new 3D movie).
Registering.
According to this story, this and Empire are due to get an ETX screen. Then again this theater doesn’t have stadium seating in any other theater apart from IMAX and the balcony in Theater 1. I hope they leave Theater 1 “The Loews” in tact, it’s a beatiful auditorium.

anyone checked out the new digital presentation experience??..
check out the schedule for next wednesday… more digital screens will be added along the week …
When I first went to this theater in 1995, before “Across the Sea of Time” started, they had this brief policy trailer showing Mr. Big Screen walking around the IMAX screen and opening the screen up, concluding with a helicopter shot of New York City before fading out. THere was also a light and laser show before the usher came out and welcomed people to the theater. DO they still do it? I haven’t been to this theater since 2000, and might check it out again now that this theater will be high-tech.
Good.
no.. imax will be print version… imax is stayin the way it is….
The Lincoln Square only has the real IMAX. “Alice In Wonderland” shows at midnight only.
Can anyone tell me how to ensure getting Imax tickets instead of Liemax tickets. Fandango lists 2 theaters. Do I just have to get tix in person?
thanks,
Tom
I definitely want to see one imax film print before the projector gets replaced.
And there will also be a change in the projection staffing in NYC AMC theatres very soon too.
well, the IMAX screen will still be film though I’d imagine?
ok folks.. this theatre will be all digital..equipped with Sony 4k before starting of the month may. That’s it for 35mm prints.. catch the last glimpse before may begans.
I can’t possibly see them replacing it yet. What would they do with all of the super hi-res 2D prints (even the 4k from an IMAX in 2D still doesn’t match a top real IMAX film print)?? Do the digital projectors even support native IMAX aspect ratio? The digital projectors top out at 70' width and Lincoln square goes to 97' width screen (granted for some reason IMAX Palisades didn’t use the full screen width using film-based 3D for Avatar though but I’m sure they do at least for 2D stuff).
Despite a few things perhaps being a little worse with the filmm-based 3D, all I can say is that overall the film-based Avatar showing still looked a little better than even teh best IMAX Digital 3D ones IMO.
Once they get to the 8k and 100' digital projectors they may switch over since it would be a lot cheaper for them to send around digital copies of the scanned original true IMAX stuff.
That trailer is now online in hd quality, and is attached to IMAX 3D and Disney Digital 3D prints of Alice in Wonderland, which broke digital 3D and IMAX 3D records for a major movie. I wonder if in the near future AMC will replace its more than 15 year old IMAX projector with a digital one like the one that AMC uses in Rockaway, et al.
btw, this coming weekend a special screening of footage for the upcoming “Tron Legacy” movie will be shown at the IMAX 3D auditorium.
oh. How do the regular theaters compare with the IMAX (which I’ve been to a handful of times)? Also, is mass transit the best way to go to the theater since traffic can be a hassle?
That’s not really news, Fencsak. They also listed the UA East 85th Street in the same ad.
