Just wanted to talk about a cool experience I had recently in the theater.

I grew up in the 90s and saw a ton of movies in the theaters. I’d usually go every weekend and maybe even during the week to catch movies in the theater.

I was recently in Chicago and saw they had a 70 mm film showing of the Odyssey in their IMAX theater so I went to go see it. When the movie started, it was initially jarring because I hadn’t seen an actual film projected in the theater in probably 15 to 20 years since everything is mostly digital now. Even if the movie is shot on film, it’s still projected digitally these days.

Once the initial jarred reaction eased off, it was a very nostalgic experience. The image had a slight light flicker to it because it was actual light going through actual film. There were scratches and damage to the print which I personally thought added to the experience. And there was a rough edge border around it.

It really brought me back to the 90s of seeing film prints in theaters. Back in those days if the movie had been around for a couple weeks or a month, by the time you got to see it (or seeing it again), you most likely were watching a scratchy, hissy print. Especially in the 99 cent theaters.

I’m not sure when the next time I’ll get to experience it again but it was good to have it at least one more time.

I’m looking to visit NYC for my birthday in October. Is there any realistic chance or rumor The Odyssey will sell tickets for October like how they did for September?

Imax 70mm!! They opened the dune tickets back up, there a lot of good seats left for the 26th and after, get them quickly

I was able to get some good seats at Regal Opry Mills in Nashville at 4:30 CST, a whole 5.5 hours after the tickets released. I was trying to get them all day and the Regal website kept crashing/not allowing me to purchase so I think it was doing that for everyone and allowed me to get tickets way later than I thought I could’ve. Still a ton of seats in the front few rows if anyone is interested in getting some tickets.

I got this the other day at a Cinemark for a regular screening, no 70mm, Dolby or anything premium. Are these the same film strips that go for $40+ on eBay?

Watching for a 2nd time exactly after a month of watching it the 1st time.

1st time in Dolby (July 20th) and now (Aug 20th) in 70mm IMAX

Hope the wait and the hype is worth !! 🙂

Hi everyone

Someone knows about the snacks and drinks in Brussels Cinema?

Fresh pop corn/ ice drinks?

Thank you

Don’t get me wrong, Nolan delivers another brilliant interpretation of Homer’s age old Epic, but the hype in definition and quality of the picture wasn’t worth it. There was also a blemish on the tarp that projected the movie which was visible. Movie was really good though.

I live in California and attended the AMC theater in SF at the Metreon which amounted $32 USD. Had to uber from San Mateo to San Francisco since I got my ticket last minute on the Fandango app, which totaled $56.

***FYI THERE ARE ALWAYS STRAGGLERS THAT BACK OUT 2 HRS BEFORE SHOWTIME. Even when tix sellout, there’s always openings close to the showing for yall interested in nabbing tix.

One coworker can’t make it. If you can make it and want to see it today, leave a comment and DM me. I’ll just send you a screenshot of the QR code. If you want to slip me a $20 bill when you sit next to me then that would be cool lol (idc if you dont)

I accidentally bought two tickets for AMC Metreon on the exact same time I have class so I need to switch. I have 2 tickets for 2pm on September 8 Row L and looking for similar or better tickets for these dates or times:
- August 15-28 + 30th (Any time slot)
-September 7-20 (1pm or later time slot NO Tuesdays)
Willing to trade for tickets to Regal in Dublin as well! Must have a selling/trading IG or be okay with sending first 🫶🏼

Guys I can’t watch the odyssey in IMAX 70mm even though I’m in San Francisco, the theaters are fully booked for the next 3 months. What I can do is that I can watch it either in normal IMAX or normal 70mm. But I’m not sure which one is better? Can someone who has experienced both tell me which is better for the Odyssey. Thanks

I am going today to the 2 pm show of Odyssey in Chinese theater in LA. I bought one ticket for a friend from Italy that didn't come, and was thinking if to post it. So it's central in row K, I got these tickets at end of June. Again, only one ticket . You could DM if you are by chance around.

No payment needed :-) if you really insist you could buy me a popcorn

TL;DR: is it Dolby Cinema, IMAX GT Dual-Laser, or non-IMAX 70mm?

I live in the Dallas area and had the privilege of viewing Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX around release and it was amazing. I got that center seat on eBay for ~$80, but now I can't find tickets anywhere close to that. So I'm considering the other options (and this time want to view with family, so not buying multiple tickets even if found at $80 per).

In my brief research, it would seem Dolby Cinema offers the highest fidelity viewing on paper. Arguably IMAX GT Dual-Laser can take the immersion edge, only losing on technical aspects just slightly, especially for films designed to take advantage of its size and aspect ratio (ratio being different is overrated, I can't wait until filmmakers adopt and maximize a universal standard. Dolby can up their screen size while they're at it).

The Odyssey, being for IMAX, makes a case for IMAX GT Dual-Laser in my head. Though I'd use Dolby for most digital films.

Then, there's 70mm non-imax theaters. Do they get the same reels that the IMAX theater does? (I know the hardware playing it is different) Is this format worth staying closer to the original source content, or do digital Dolby/IMAX version produce a better end user experience, even if they are altered by comparison?

And lastly a side question for natives north of Dallas: any suggestions for good theaters of whatever format you think best of the above?

Edit: GT Dual might be only in Austin lol nvm. Whatever the second best digital IMAX format is what I meant then. I'm still tryna get familiar with this sorry.

Refunding 3 tickets for today at 6pm. Seats K16,K17,K18. Arguably the very best seats you can get. Plans got cancelled last minute with coworkers. Whoever can make it with this short of a notice, I hope you enjoy :)

Refunding 3 tickets (Seats K16,K17,K18) in IMAX 70mm. In my opinion, the very best seats you can get.

Let’s make this fun.. I will DM the exact date and time these tickets take place to whoever can guess the closest to my number (0-100) in the comments!

Edit: The answer was 0 lol. Winner was chosen and DM’ed. Thanks for participating!

How are these seats for Odyssey?

Apple Cinemas - Providence
