Yes. Christopher Nolan insisted that "TDKR" be shown in IMAX in at least 100 theaters using actual 1570 film and the traditional projectors. We had to push our digitals aside and dust off the million-dollar IMAX projector. I was shocked that it worked, LOL. Honestly, though, after watching it a few times, I went across to the regular theaters and poked my head into a regular digital version of it, and it looked and sounded like absolute shit by comparison, so I guess Nolan was right to stick to his guns.
(The fourth pic here is of the screen frame with the middle speaker clusters visible. That whole frame is now covered by an approximately 60'x85' screen. "TDKR" has around an hour of footage filmed with the IMAX camera--nearly double that of "TDK"--so that footage jumps from letterbox to full-screen. I don't have the Blu-Ray of "TDK" but someone said they mixed in the IMAX footage so even the Blu-Ray gets larger during that film's half-hour of IMAX, so if he does the same thing for "TDKR" the Blu-Ray will look sweet.) |

I saw it at imax and was glad i did. The last couple imax movies i saw werent impressive at all, but this was. The sound...it was almost too much haha. But i think my previous imax experiences were just the wrong movies. One of them was Kill Bill Volume 2 so...yeah. Not a good movie for a true imax experience. Cant remember what the other was.

I can't state how much I hate going to the movie theater with a packed house full of teenagers. I waited until Monday for a 10:20 showing at the IMAX to hopefully avoid a sold out crowd of stupid ass teenagers. It didn't work. One twat right next to me basically spoiled half the movie for me before it even started. I really appreciated that. ****ing asshole. Then some fat teenager showed up late, sat behind me, and immediately started kicking the shit out of the back of my seat. Why do people do that inadvertently? Do people just not respect other people that much?
Then people wouldn't shut up during the movie. Hootin and hollerin. Shut the **** up you know? I'm tryin to watch a movie. And who goes to a movie with 9 other people? It's a movie not a god damn social gathering or a party. I almost got a rain check when I saw the caliber of people that flocked into the theater. The amount of perfume and cologne was burning my eyes and nose. Oh well, I'm somewhat of a sociopath anyway. Pure bliss to me would be having a theater empty besides just myself. Ok maybe a few other people are ok, as long as they aren't sitting near me. It's why I almost always wait for blu-ray to watch movies. It ruins the experience of watching a movie when I'm so uncomfortable. Plus the seats are atrocious. It was hard to enjoy the last hour of the movie because my ass and lower back was in such agonizing pain. Get better seats for christs sake. I was hoping Bane would have a 3rd down with Batman on defense so everyone would stand up. But with this movie, I just couldn't wait for dvd/blu-ray Last edited by lcarus; 07-24-2012 at 01:52 PM.. |

It's not much different than any other movie theater "rant" I suppose. It was all the worst things about going to the movies, fully realized. Loud obnoxious kids, someone kicking the back of your seat randomly, the smell of a hundred teenagers perfumes and colognes, a long movie with an uncomfortable seat. Phones ringing. Someone spoiling the movie plot twists before the movie even starts. The works. I mean, who the hell would enjoy that? I enjoy watching a movie at home soooo much more. But with Batman, I just can't wait. It was a good movie at least.

Despicable? Do you even know the meaning of that word? It sure doesn't make a whole lot of sense when used in that context.
In any case, Robin is not the Dark Knight. Sure, lots of people stepped up in the movie, and that's the whole point of Nolan's Batman, but none of them are TDK. Selina stepped up. Blake stepped up. The commissioner, police, mayor, etc. Nolan wasn't intending Blake to be considered the Dark Knight Rising. That's what I thought Bowener was getting at, and I think that's a little too literal an interpretation. If that makes me despicable, then . . . Well, that's just like, your opinion, man. There is, however, no doubt that "rising" is the theme of the film -- it just comes in many different forms. |

Did not care for allowing Batman to survive at the end. I liked the idea of his death. Seeing him alive and understanding how he survived kind of disappointed me.

It was actually kind of genius the way they did it. They got the emotional impact of him dying, and most people bought it I think. Especially with the statue and Alfred at the grave. Then they have the twist at the end and you get the joy of realizing he's alive. That was my reaction anyway. Nolan gave me multiple orgasms and it was good.

That's one thing I like about working in a theater. I can come in early or stay late and run a film for myself. Especially now that it's all digital. Nothing to break. Press "Play" and go watch.
