moviebuff82 commented about A Guide to seeing "Avatar" in several formats on Jan 5, 2010 at 3:02 pm

the week after it opened I saw it in RealD 3D Sony 4k at the AMC in Rockaway…it was crowded. I went to see it in theater #7, right next to the Imax theater. If I’d went to the IMAX showing, the projection would’ve been sharper and the sound louder. Avatar made great use of 3D and also innovative storytelling.

As usual, Avatar 3D/Imax/35mm is held over this weekend. The crowds, which were dead this week because of the workweek, will return in droves to see it again and again until the next major 3D movie arrives.

just came back from seeing sherlock in screen #15, and while it was a great movie with a well behaved crowd, there were some minor issues…the projection was very blurry (although the sound was great), and there were some splices throughout the movie. At least they brought back showing those green bands before the trailers…has amc ever shown a red band trailer at this theater? I would love to see them show red band trailers since Regal brought them back.

What AMC lacks is Bollywood and foriegn films. The last foriegn film that I saw in this theater was a cult hit, and once in awhile an indie or a foreign film comes out for a few weeks, only to be replaced by the latest blockbuster/romantic comedy/cartoon. I can’t wait for the day when AMC starts showing real sporting events at this theater, especially those that are in 3D. btw, how does this theater compare with the busiest theater in america, the empire?

Maybe if they bring back film 3-d (last major movies to be shown in analog 3-d was spy kids 3-d and sharkboy and lavagirl 3-d)…digital 3d is easier on the eyes than old 3-d.

3D is for real. They also have 3D videogames (avatar for ps3 has a 3d mode), and 3D stuff for pcs. who knows? Maybe we’ll see 4D or 5D for that matter!!!

whoever changed the name of the theater’s listing should be thankful. BTW, is the building gone for good?

i rented blade runner from netflix on bluray, and I can see the theater during the night scenes. Wonder if that theater will still be open by 2019?

Avatar has changed the way people see 3D movies, with a great storyline and nice special effects. 2010 will have more 3D films as well as IMAX 3D and 2D versions of blockbuster films. Will more screens get digital next year, JJD? 2012 is when all AMC theaters get digital screens.

btw, the space where FYE is will become retail again as the music/video/game store will close alongside its sister store Saturday matinee. Maybe AMC could build a discount theater inside the mall showing older movies ala the Route 4 Triplex? Only time will tell.

it was good. Lots of great special effects, and a good storyline. I won’t spoil anything for you so you have to sit through the whole movie to get the gist of it. I actually went to the reald showing and the projection was very sharp. Hopefully when the crowd dies down I’ll see it in IMAX 3-D.
