Author Topic: AMC to Install 100 Imax 3D Digital Units Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-23-2008 04:28 PM                     Based on Dick's comments above, I don't really feel like reading much more about this IMAX digital. IMAX was based on filling your field of vision with a bright, steady, and very detailed image. If they are going to a 1.19 aspect ratio and converting existing multiplex screens to play IMAX content, what is the draw?? It's not IMAX, not even close...... I could understand if they were keeping the large format screen, but this is just a marketing thing to try and label the auditoriums IMAX. It's a degradation of what the IMAX brand implies.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-23-2008 04:40 PM                     Tristan, This is just a continuation of the degradation that IMAX already did. People want to pay extra to see [insert big movie here] in IMAX not realizing that IMAX isn't what it used to be.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

At least we caught a glimpse of what an IMAX blockbuster could look like before IMAX decided to try to self destruct.  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-24-2008 12:08 PM                     A person I work with started calling all of these multiplex-imax theaters IMINimum. I thought it was funny.  |  IP: Logged
