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”.

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.

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.

I just saw the new version of “The Day the Earth Stood Still” in the IMAX theater. The Robert Wise original is one of my all-time favorites, but I did a pretty good job of trying to forget it while watching the new one so I could judge it on its own merits. The only problem: it didn’t have any merits. What was pure, simple, and no-nonsense in 1951 has become pretty much ridiculous, and it kept getting sillier as it went along.

If ever there were textbook examples of why a good script is more important than good special effects in a sci-fi movie, they’re right here: 1951 vs. 2008. I think this movie would’ve made Robert Wise angry, and by all accounts he never got angry.

They really should have called it something else.

Next year from this holiday season marks the 15th anniversary of the opening of this great theater. Although ownership has changed, nothing much inside the theater has changed except the showing of more IMAX versions of blockbuster movies. Next year, there will be more IMAX screens in Manhattan thanks to the IMAX Digital rollout in Kips Bay alongside the Empire 25 theater and the NatureMax theater near the museum of Natural History, not to mention my local theater in Rockaway getting the mini-IMAX treatment. Will AMC soon change the IMAX format to digital at this location? It would make sense and save the cost of shipping and handling of the film to the theater.

Judge Cooper is actually on the mark. Some popcorn kernels simply never pop.

As a dentist friend once told me, “No healthy tooth can be hurt by a raw kernel of popcorn. It is ridiculous for anyone to hold a movie theatre responsible for their existing rotten dental condition”.

Movie theatres around the world import American midwestern corn because it has a higher internal humidity level and therefore a higher popping ratio, yielding a more efficient popcorn to “old maid” (unpopped kernel) ratio.

Yeah I meant A Christmas Carol. Jim Carrey plays multiple characters.

I can also see Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland and Iron Man 2 going to IMAX as well.

You mean An Xmas Carol, KingBiscuits. That one will do well, probably replacing Polar Express as the next Imax annual holiday movie during Xmas. It will be released November of next year. Next year will also bring the second Night at the Museum movie, this one taking place at the Smithsonian, which in real life has its own Imax theater, which will probably not play that movie since it’s catered towards educational films.

Eagle Eye on IMAX? Really? I knew it was going to be a hit before but now it’s really going to make some dough.

The description didn’t mention the films that opened on the IMAX screen on opening day. Those films were Into The Deep and The Last Buffalo.

More upcoming films for IMAX will be Watchmen, Monsters vs. Aliens, Night At The Museum 2, Transformers 2 and Shrek Goes Fourth. I really would love to see Terminator Salvation and Robert Zemeckis' new film also make the transition to IMAX.

When I first went to this theater, I didn’t eat any food during the movies that I attended, since it costs more than other theaters in my area. Very rare that the concession stand at the theater was closed for violations. FYI, the new Harry Potter won’t come out until next summer, which leaves the new Madagascar movie as a box office hopeful. Another movie coming out in IMAX soon will be Eagle Eye, starring Shia Lebouf.

Here’s the pertinent paragraph:

Meanwhile foodies are also out of luck if they’re looking for snacks at the Loews in Lincoln Center where all of the concession stands have been shut down for health code violations. “It makes me sick knowing I’ve eaten all the food here before,” said local resident Nischala Dubey. Viewers planning to ride the Pineapple Express this weekend may have to look to the nearby Food Emporium in order to nosh during their moviegoing experience.
