PhantomHelix Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 imax is like a movie theator, expect the part that the seats has stairs and is diagonally vertical (kinda weird to describe) and the screen is like 50 by 50 feet i think. its awesome.

Imax also has speakers behind the screen to make sound like the person is actually in front of you. not like around in regular theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been around the Galactic Battlegrounds forum some, but just have not made it over to the JKII in a while. Glad to see things still rock over here.

TheJackal Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Prepare yourself for a shocker! I dont really care! *gasp* I didn't like the movie itself, so why would I go pay to see it in a bigger screen to be even more terrible. Face it, the acting was terrible in the movie. George Lucas is an excellent director at action scenes and special effects, unfortuantly he cannot get the best out of actors. The cast is great, its just thier lines destroy it all. In the original trilogy G. Lucas didn't do the directing himself, he was producer, but not director. Thus making them better than the new trilogy. But that's my opinion. iMax movies are amazing. I saw Blue Planet and a few other movies in those theatres. What I really want to see is Apollo 13 on iMax (like AOTC, its been released in iMax theatres). Now THAT is an amazing movie!

But I love every single star wars movie, and if the nearest IMAX weren't 3 hours away i'd see it as often as possible. But as is i'll probably only see it once at the IMAX But it's gonna be AWESOME....i'm buying my tickets to go on the 9th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 The basic difference with IMAX is the size of each frame. It is 70mm, against the 35mm for standard theatre, but also the rate at which it is fed through the projector, so it is still 3 times sharper/better than the standard 70mm print from Hollywood. In general, the film is displayed sideways when compared to the normal theatre film. It runs left to right, rather than top to bottom Check out http://www.imax.com for all the info...
