Author Topic: Titanic - the IMAX 3D experience - April 2012 Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-01-2012 10:17 PM                        quote: Pablo O'Hana Cheers guys, nice welcoming to the forum from you all. Welcome to the forum! If you have hung around here at all, you should know that this place will give you plenty of constructive criticism, if you deserve it. For example, your site has this sentence: quote: The screen is a stretched vinyl painted silver to stop any reflection from the projector. That's completely false. The only reason you can even SEE the picture is due to its reflection. If it didn't reflect you'd just be looking at a black hole.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-02-2012 02:16 AM                        quote: Tim Asten The four disc Special Edition dvd of Titanic has the film spread over two discs. The intermission can be seen here. Geez, you think they could have had enough classly showmanship to put up an "Intermission" frame instead of that inane "Insert Disc 2." What do they think, that everyone will sit there in the living room thinking the film was over, or that they will just sit there hitting the remote to get the player to skip to the next "chapter"?  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-03-2012 08:11 AM                     If that's a website for an IMAX theatre, I'm surprised IMAX will allow that website to include the use of the term "LieMAX" and the other digital-bashing commentary.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-05-2012 05:24 PM                     the IMAX-Digital presentation I saw at Tysons Corner featured it almost full frame, but with black borders on the sides of the image - is this 1.66 then?? are the REAL-D presentations in it's OAR of 2.35? oh and the post-conversion 3D job - top notch! one word: amazing  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-05-2012 06:09 PM                     Yeppers .. all in nice 2.39:1 presentations. If one can catch the XtraBrite (6fL) version, it's worth it.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-05-2012 08:59 PM                     ^ that's what I'm worried about, my neighborhood theater offers side masking (which is ideal for 2.39 films, but the light output of the Sony DP is set way too low for my taste ('How To Train Your Dragon' opening sequence was so dark it rendered the 3D let alone the visual coherence of the scene totally lacking)  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-07-2012 10:11 PM                     come on, a penny for someone's thoughts  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 04-17-2012 05:04 PM                     Pacific Science Center in Seattle is running it in Digital. They were told that the 15/70 prints were 94 reels. They simply didn't want to bother with it.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-18-2012 02:45 AM                     The Pacific had no choice, if they wanted to run it they were going to have to run it in Digital. They didn't get to choose if it was 15/70 or Digital. IMAX only struck 5 prints of Titanic in 15/70 and those went to LA, NY, Detroit, London and Sydney.  |  IP: Logged Joseph L. Kleiman Master Film Handler Posts: 380 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 04-18-2012 03:06 PM                     I wish it was showing in 15/70 in Detroit. I really do. Unfortunately, that IMAX theater was mothballed last September. But it is showing in Dearborn at the Henry Ford, one of the highest grossing IMAX theaters in the country and one of the locations where the Titanic artifact exhibition is currently showing. I have a feeling that Ron, being the Titanic fanatic he is, threatened to close down the theater if he didn't get the film. I'm sure there will be a long shelf life for the film prints in second-run status on the museum circuit.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 04-18-2012 03:09 PM                     I plan to go to Dearborn this Saturday!

Detroit? how odd.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 04-19-2012 04:22 PM                     I found it odd that our IMAX digital print of Titanic has small black bars on the left and right sides of the screen, even though it does not appear they are using floating windows. But it's pretty clear how versatile Super 35 was for Cameron in 1997 that he do both traditional widescreen and IMAX fifteen years later from the same negative.  |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 04-20-2012 01:24 AM                     And where in LA?
