OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 11:15 AMHello everyone, there's something that's been bothering me for a while and this really, really saddens me. I live in Belgium so we'll be some of the first to experience the movie-event of the year and years to come. I mean, I've been looking forward to this since the dawn of time . But we have no IMAX theatre to go to! We only had one and they closed it in 2005.
I sure hope I have your sympathies.
You don\\\'t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage!

OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 11:55 AMYou're not missing out on much. I live in California and I live 15 minutes from an IMAX theater, and I'm still opting to see the movie in Real 3D. This movie wasn't shot in IMAX so basically, it's just the same movie being played on a bigger screen, and that doesn't work really well for 3D. I saw Avatar in both formats and the Real 3D was a lot better than IMAX 3D. So honestly, don't feel like you're missing out on anything, because you're really not.
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 11:59 AMI understand how you feel but is it really all that bad you will see the film very soon and be one of the first to at that and If I can I will find a way to send you a ticket to get to Montreal and see it at the IMAX theater here, but I would have to win the lottery or something I think, how much is air fair from Belgium to Montreal, Canada?
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 12:39 PMMost theaters here ine germany
Are showing the movie in 3d. But
Me and most of my friends dont
Like the 3d feature that much and
Usually opt to watch it in 2d.
It was interesting when i watched
Avatar in 3d. But afterwards, i must
Say it does not make tge movie better.
I only watch 3d cartoons with my
Daughter.
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 1:07 PM@ Spartacus...Haha, that's truly very kind of you, but if I really wanted to, I could always go to the Netherlands. They have like 5 IMAX theatres ( we get none) and it's only hundreds of miles of driving... Hoorah!
@CBT1997...I'm not really that concerned with the 3D. It's just that I want to see this film on the biggest screen we can possibly make.
By the way, I feel sorry for you Germans, having to wait till august to see this awesome movie.You don\\\'t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage!
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 1:37 PM@Gimmeafacehug: EUROSTAR > London. That's all I can say, probably worth it as that one in Waterloo is the largest IMAX in Europe, you can't possibly get it bigger than that! Accomodation could be sorted out for free...
As for the Germans, I feel even more sorry for them as they'll have to watch the dubbed version. Doh, that REALLY sucks, no matter how great or large the screen is!
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 1:45 PMIMO Eurostar to Paris: IMAX, French and earlier!Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

BTW, I used to live and Folkestone and took the ferry over to Calais quite often and Belgium wasn't all that far north. Now that you've got the "Chunnel" (which I believe is quite affordable) you might be able to reach an IMAX before hitting London in my old Kent district.
Scan this site for assistance: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IMAX_venues]HERE[/url]*
*-The list is not complete/updated for I don't see mine listed here in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Do you have a Fandango.com or MovieTickets.com equivalent in Europe? Try that and see what turns up (unless you have and Holland is the closest you found). If you do have to go to Holland, though, think of the "fun" you can have while there.
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 1:49 PMBelieve it or not, the first place I ever heard of a IMAX was in this site. LOL.
We have no IMAX theatres here.
By the way, most people that I know don't like 3D movies in theatres. Odd thing...[b]Ask nothing from no one. Demand nothing from no one. Expect nothing from no one.[/b]
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 1:56 PMIMAX 3D, IMHO, is better than Real 3D (I have been to many films in both formats). The bigger screen allows for almost total immersion and the conversion does not suffer one bit (unlike 2D filmed movies using digital cameras suffer when they are converted to 3D...i.e. Avengers). Prometheus was filmed using digital 3D cameras and some of the finest available at that. Real 3D and IMAX 3D will both look great.....only IMAX 3D will be the pinnacle of immersion....that's it.OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 3:18 PMSeats reserved for showing in Indianapolis at 12:01 on June 8, my first IMAX 3D experience. Some say good, others not. I'll take my chance just to see this on the largest screen possible. Will probably see it in 2D a day or two later. Looking forward to seeing the cobrahugger reach out to touch someone. My wife hates the chestburster scene in the original. She will flip out over this.
She has no clue what is in store for her. Sign me up for TEAM COBRAHUGGER!OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 3:22 PMI've seen quite a few IMAX 3D movies and Real 3D. IMAX 3D is awesome....Trust me.
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 3:39 PMDon't listen to the naysayers of 3-D. They have health issues.
You wanna experience Prometheus the way it was purposely shot.
Sir Ridley is not a hater of 3-D. The guy has vision. I trust him.
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 3:41 PMit is amazing and this is how Ridley said he intends for it to be seen as well. I think he would prefer if everyone could see it this way.
OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 6:29 PMIf it makes you feel better I have an IMAX 2 hours from me and they aren't even getting Prometheus. I have to go to vancouver which is a 2 hour drive, 2 hour ferry and 1 hour drive. I am making a weekend trip out of it and watching it twice.
Like I said before, I'll do anything twice. OvomorphMember0 XPMay-06-2012 8:57 PMHave you tried buggery? ; ) j/k
I hear it's all the rage....Add A Reply
