I like Imax, but I never buy into 3-D films.

(Once or twice, yeah, but most of the time, no.)

I think they could have charged me 15 dollars and I still would have left with a smile on my face and no regrets. Best "summer blockbuster" movie I've ever seen. Maybe best comic movie. We'll have to see how it holds up with time.

IMAX 3D is $19.00 'round here. :smt011

For what it worth,when I feel inclined to see a 3D flick,I prefer RealD or Dolby3D,since it feels more comfortable for my sight and the AMC theater where I go conveniently enough identify in what format is available for each showing.

In addition to $19. for IMAX 3D
$17.00 for standard 3D
$13.00 for 2D

I went to the $6.00 2D Matinee (and by Matinee, I mean before 12pm)
I think it's $10.00 for 3D Matinee

Hmm, I think I'm going to stick with 2D for sure.

You would like it. Check out the '70s psychedelic snack bar. Everything is spinning around and flashing. It's like Brion Gysin & William S Burroughs designed a theater:

Most movie effects are kind of a letdown after wandering the empty hallways:

That's beautiful.

$16 for 3D here for Regal's RPX 3D.

For this movie, I'd pay it again.

Going to see it again sometime this week.

Hope it does a billion or more.

Dang, I think I paid $12 once in Chicago...TBH since I left Chi-town I have basically gone to the same two almost always mostly empty theaters. I often think, how can they afford to light all that shit up when I think I might be the only person here? I bet The Avengers would draw a crowd though.

I noticed though they are showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show on saturday nights now and plan to serve beer soon.

Most theaters have two kinds of 3D, the real3D version and the imax 3D, or the equivalent in that theater franchise (the Century theaters in the bay area have XD instead of imax). Then there are the even higher level of deluxe 3D shows that have like vibrating seats and shit, like the one Hab went to.

I've never seen a movie in 3D that didn't just aggravate the shit out of me, mostly because shit on the screen just seems out of focus the whole time. I don't understand how anyone thinks that looks good.

This movie deserves it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I went in with high expectations and it delivered. I can't wait to own it on DVD.

I am totally in agreement with you there, that's why I wanted to just wait and see it in 2D. Out of focus is right.

I checked, I have only been to Real3D lately except I've seen things in Omnimax too. That's different.

I hope it beats Avatar. As long as Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time, the human race should be embarrassed for itself.

it'll depend on how long disney keeps it in the theaters and well, Avatar came out in December. Avengers has a lot of competition over the next month like Battleship...god Battleship is going to bomb so hard.
