....except you aren't watching the same movie. For over an hour of TDKR, you will be seeing less movie than everyone else.

Also, in your shytty analogy, first class would be compared to someone in coach.

Im good on the whole Imax thing. I mean its not like we are going to miss anything of even minute importance. Yeah you get to see more of the city when they do the pan out shots but when Bane is doing something please believe i will be able to see him on the standard screen.

Only time ill pay for Imax is if i see one of those 3D nature joints. Saw one on the ocean and it was crazy. It seemed like you were actually in the kelp forest.

doesn't take a genius to know you aren't getting the full imax when you walk in and the screen isn't 8 stories tall. Either way though the sound at a fake imax theater is worth the price. I can tell the difference from the last movie I saw.

I mean, I'm not going to argue with you...if you don't care do you. :manny:

Personally, I'll always take the better experience for the small increase in price.

As much as tickets cost now, I'm good watching regular 2D. You paying more money to watch the same damn movie.

Its like somebody sitting in first class that paid 700 dollars for a ticket sitting next to a guy that paid 250. They going to the same destination.
Why are you an ETHNIC Vagina finder when you can be REGULAR Vagina finder since they all lead to the same destination :lawd:
I knew something was up. Yall right, I remember true IMAX screens being signifcantly larger.

2D it is!!!! b*stards!!! :mad:
Me living in the DC area, I grew up taking field trips to the Smithsonian to watch shyt, this just reminded me how I was IMAX pimpin since the 80's
They showing Batman there too, soo its time for a nikka to :eat:


unlike RekkaBryde :ld:
Only one true IMAX theater in AZ :sadbron:

I'm actually at a hotel down the street from it as I type this post...but I'll be back in Tucson when I see DKR. I do definitely feel cheated.
You must of seen yourself naked in the mirror again
My fault. When I looked at this link:

I looked at the map, and zoomed in to NC. Clicking the theater on Raleigh is green, the one on Charlotte is red.

*edit* I didn't see the list underneath. So is the map accurate or the list?

*re-edit* Okay the map has a "dome" on Charlotte. I don't know if that means it's extra-IMAX'd. Those other theaters are in like Concord and Weddington, nearby Charlotte.
No, its in a dome shape where you lean back to watch it.
supposedly good to see, but it is "different" than the traditional way
I have to assume its at least worth it to see THIS movie.
Somebody gotta take one for the team, let us know how that works out for you
There's actually a DOME about 45mins from me.. but the Smithsonian is also 45min away :win:
the one in Raleigh may be the movie theater "IMAX" which is what people are calling fake.


the one in Charlotte is the real IMAX. The joint you probably went to on school field trips and what not as a kid, lol.
You guys should read the link in the original post. It goes into each format and mildly goes into some detail about the differences.
HD Dome 360 or Rectangle 70mm 3monitor PC style wow'ness?

Meanwhile, Batman will be having a 70mm fight in a joker'd out Kelp Forest while you be sittin elbow rubbin with the next man in a crowded theater while all yall hunched over lookin at your small ass screen like this :whoo: can't quite... see what.... what thee fukk is going on.
How the fukk you gonna go to the Movie theater just to be strugglin to see like you Master Shake in the livingroom or some shyt
