  1. I highly recommend by GillBates0 · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Eating in Space
    the Space Station 3D movie in IMAX theaters. A must see if you are even remotely interested in space...or 3D movies for that matter.

    I, for one, was amazed at the clarity and crispness of the scenes filmed inside the ISS. I have seen other 3D IMAX movies too: Ghosts of the Abyss,etc...but this one beats them all by a huge factor.

    I know for sure it is (or was) running in Atlanta (Mall of GA), DC (Smithsonian Air and Space Museum) and Boston (Aquarium IMAX) last year. Google for it...definetly worth the effort. A few reviews and clips here.

    Hi, welcome to the -1, Redundant mod.

    As for filling up the screen, when I went to see it the screen space appeared the same as a normal theater. It certainly wasn't like going to an Omnimax theater.

    Also, as posted in the post correcting me above, theaters HAVE projected 35mm film onto IMAX screens, so how about you stop talking out of your ass?

    Oh, here's the quote from it, in case you don't want to go up and read it...

    The only other films before this to get the DMR conversion were "Apollo 13," "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Matrix Reloaded." Any other Hollywood live-action films shown in the past on IMAX Screens were blown-up 35mm prints, and were not sanctioned by IMAX Corporation as "an IMAX Experience."

    Umm, no.
    NOTE: "Matrix Revolutions" has been digitally remastered for IMAX Theaters using the IMAX DMR conversion, a process that take a 35mm film print and outputs it to true 70mm size and resolution. The only other films before this to get the DMR conversion were "Apollo 13," "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Matrix Reloaded." Any other Hollywood live-action films shown in the past on IMAX Screens were blown-up 35mm prints, and were not sanctioned by IMAX Corporation as "an IMAX Experience."

    From what I can tell it is already out. A quick google turns up this: http://www.bigmoviezone.com/articles/?uniq=91. I can't seem to find it, but I think it was a /. story that mentioned that they edited some swearing. Minor stuff too. Google hasn't indexed it yet, so who knows, I might just be talking out my ass =).

    try http://www.bigmoviezone.com/main.html - probably a better discussion there ..

  6. Re:pr0n? no. by Lev13than · · Score: 3, Informative · on IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology

    The other problem is that IMAX controls (or at least tries to) the content of movies shown on their screens - they don't want anything over PG shown. IMAX operate a lot of the theatres, and puts pressure on the other owners to fall in line.
    Needless to say, if the slightly-violent Haunted Castle can't make it on the big screen, What Reams May Come is going to stay at 35mm:

    If you check the link, you'll also note they announced back in March 2001 that this new technology would be ready "within twelve months"... oops.
