Dune really is being heavily advertised during the MNF game tonight. First time I've seen a true media blitz for the movie on this stage. Tells me WB is swinging for the fences, and seemingly wants to justify a sequel as much as we do.

Unlike a Marvel movie or the big action blockbusters, this is not the kind of movie that you feed off audience energy and enthusiasm throughout the movie.
Huh? What about the giant screen and sound system?
Nothing will ever beat IMAX when it comes to big, epic sci-fi such as this.
I want to see it on IMAX primarily because I know it's going to have epic cinematography based on who the director is.
Sure but being more cerebral doesn't negate the rest. I mean I saw both Dunkirk and 1917 in an IMAX theater and I know that the experience wouldn't have been 1/4 as good at home.

you got all that from this?TCTTS said:
I think my point here is getting lost. I totally get that the industry/viewing habits are in the midst of a seismic shift, and I'm not really arguing against change or whatever's coming. I'm simply saying, instead of being a proud assh*le that you don't go to the movie theater, have some awareness/humility that people are losing their jobs, not every theater is going to make it, movies may get worse because of it, etc. That's really my only point here, as C@LAg has a habit of needing everyone to know he doesn't go to movie theaters, and seemingly dislikes anyone expressing enjoyment for the theatrical experience.

Lok forward to watching it from home.
Like I said, it wasn't just that one post.
Who? Who doesn't want to watch Dune in imax?!

Was just coming here to post it. Anything to get people in theaters, I guess (and thus, a sequel), even if that means awkward tie-ins during one of the biggest Monday Night Football games of the season…The Dune and NFL crossover begins...

No they don't. You couldn't be any more wrong about this.
You literally get more movie in IMAX…

How much did Dune cost to make, any idea? That cast couldn't have been cheap.
Apparently $165M.

They are overestimating how many true cinema people enjoy going to the theater.
I personally am fine chilling at home and I know millennials/gen z are more likely to do the same. I only ever go to the movies when a friend asks me.
Well that is it. I am getting my booster this weekend.
Wonder what our first billion dollar movie will be?

Can't you just make a copy of yourself if something happens
Is this one where I need to trek down to the true IMAX (70mm) screen in Dallas or will any IMAX do?

Probably a transformers/fast and the furious Mashup starring tom cruise, leo and Clooney made with Chinese money.

This is a good question. Anyone know?
When in doubt... choose the most selective theater?
I don't know but for clarification I assume y'all are talking about Cinemark 17 at Webb Chapel, yes? My recent research shows me that is the only 70mm screen in DFW.HYC_AG said:wangus12 said:

I think putting this on HBO Max is probably a mistake. A lot of people are lazy (me included). I'll probably just watch it there and call it a day.
There is also one in ft worth at the science museum and I think there is one in fair park.
Not sure if they are showing dune. Bit they have shown theatrical released before

The Fort Worth Omni is closed for renos right now. It is supposed to be open in the fall, but I haven't seen a date yet.
With that username, it'd be surprised/disappointed if you WEREN'T at a theater for this.Duncan Idaho said:

It blew my mind to discover how many IMAX theaters aren't really IMAX screens. But still... I don't really care. My local AMC is one of the worst offenders in the world, but it's still the biggest screen in town, and it's the one I'll be watching Dune on.
Definitely a lot of LieMAX out there. I don't remember why theaters are allowed to lie about that. I guess IMAX sold rights to let people say it when it's not true.PDWT_12 said:

I think it's a "fine print" kind of thing. I know most of the LieMAX screens used to be officially labeled as (and maybe still are) "an IMAX experience." Not simply "IMAX." So that might be one way to tell. Another way is that true IMAX screens are considerably bigger than "IMAX experience" screens. Basically, if you're in the theater, looking at the screen, and you're wondering, "Is this IMAX?"... it's "an IMAX experience," not true IMAX. Otherwise, true IMAX is unmistakable. (That said, the point is obviously moot when trying to buy tickets online, and you can't see the theater for itself.)
IMAX made decision to have IMAX-lite theaters to increase their market penetration.YouBet said:Definitely a lot of LieMAX out there. I don't remember why theaters are allowed to lie about that. I guess IMAX sold rights to let people say it when it's not true.PDWT_12 said:

Yeah Cinemark 17 in Dallas. When it's made for IMAX, that's where I go.
wah wah wah . and TCTTS has to let everyone know his movie viewing schedule, and the exact theater in downtown LA that he goes to for almost every single blockbuster movie.TCTTS said:

Practice some of the humility you preach about.
if you are so free to make your viewing commentary public on as frequent a basis as you do, everyone else can as well.
at least I was making a comment on topic instead of attacking another poster for their preferences , which you seem so ready and willing to do on a constant basis.
So when everyone else here mentions the exact theaters they bought tickets for, saw movies in, etc it's fine, and something that happens all the damn time. But when I join in and do the same, it's bragging/not being humble. Hahaha, got it.
I'm sorry that a number of us here like the theatrical experience, and like taking about our individual experiences form time to time. Personally, I love hearing from other people what the audience was like, what the theater conditions were, if notable, and I sometimes share my experiences in kind. And sometimes those experiences involve unique outings or a celebrity sighting or two. Mentioning those things from time to time on an entertainment message board doesn't make one pompous or egotistic.
Regardless, it's really, really weird how much all of this seems to annoy you.
