Some might consider the Chantilly, VA location as the DC area, even though it's some 45 minutes outside of DC's center. Udvar-Hazy is part of the DC's Smithsonian. Dark Knight tickets are 12.50 plus 12.00 parking; Ouch! How many people can you stuff into a car ;-) Richard P. Here is what

I've been looking around our local imax theaters to go see Dark Knight since this is one of the few movies actually shot and not converted for imax. I don't know anything about the tech specs behind imax, just that it's big. I've been hearing conflicting stories about the theaters here

Some movies are converted for imax, but not shot with imax film. That's why I wanted to see Batman at the imax, as noted before, portions were actually shot using imax stock. The only problem here, a local theater chain has a deal with the only full size imax theater in the valley to not run any

No idea about Phoenix, but I just got out from seeing it at the Uptown Theater in DC. Non-Imax, but a HUGE, parabolic single screen. It was f***ing awesome. (Here endeth the review) I would kill to see it in Imax. -Original Message- I've been looking around our local imax theaters to

I'm taking my dad next week...figure imax film is about 1/3 more picture in height then what you can see in a regular theater. I suppose not unlike seeing a movie in 4:3 or 16:9. Mike On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 5:08 PM, Jeff Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No idea about Phoenix, but I just got

Only a few scenes were 'shot' (rendered?) in Imax. Reviews indicate on an Imax screen most of the film is smaller with those scenes being physically much larger. Cityscapes and such. We're going to Orlando FL 8/11-8/14. I wonder if they'll still be showing it then on Imax? Being on vacation I
