My guess is...if they have any sense at all...they would at least re-render the CGI stuff for the higher resolution. The live-action is pretty much locked in, I'm afraid. As for the time limit of IMAX...Let's just forget about CLONES and go back to the forthcoming APOLLO 13 re-issue...does anybody know if the IMAX version is the full-length feature or an edited version?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-04-2002 06:47 PM                  Actually the pixels would be about 1/2 inch wide if shown on a typical 80 ft wide screen at the native 1920x1080 24p format. More likely, since that projector does not exist at this time (other than multiple projectors), it would be converted to and shown at the 1280 format with the pixels about 3/4 inch wide. Either would provide a great image. The aspec ratio remains a problem however. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I found that on our DLP projector in Waterloo, Ontario, SWEP2 seemed to exhibit far fewer focusing problems than the film version. Unlike the film copies all the live action seemed to stay in focus. Weird. SWEP2 film version crappy, SWEP2 DLP a little better, any other movie on film a lot better than both.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

The only SLC opening I know of is the IMAX-SR3D at the renamed Clark Planetarium in late November.  |  IP: Logged
