The Dublin Hacienda Crossing IMAX is a purpose-built IMAX, not a retrofit. It has the stadium seating and the curved screen. I don't thnik it is quite as large as the Metreon IMAX, but the parking is free.

Really good IMAX 3D screens such as the Metreon's are curved, so that the viewing angle is good from essentially any seat. AMC Cupertino Square 16 (a super-nice cinema generally, and a surprisingly good reason to visit the old Mall Formerly Known as Vallco) doesn't have a full-sized screen. Some commentators say the Regal Hacienda Crossings IMAX, Dublin is a full "IMAX 3D" venue worthy of comparison against the Metreon's screen. _______________________________________________ Basfa mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basfa.org/listinfo.cgi/basfa-basfa.org
