about 298. I went to see avatar at 3:50 in realD 3D since the imax was sold out. Boy it was packed!!! The whole theater parking lot was packed, so me and my dad and stepmom went to another parking lot right by the food court and walked carefully to the theater. Projection wasn’t as sharp as IMAX but was satisfying and the sound was crisp and loud. A minor complaint was that during quiet scenes, a baby would cry. Other than that, this movie will stay here until Alice in Wonderland comes out. Among reald previews were Shrek 4, Piranha 3D, despicable me, and Alice.
thanks. BTW, is Avatar still doing hotcakes? Even though there are other movie choices to see (e.g., SHerlock, Alvin, Nine, and Up in the Air), I think the real draw at this theater is still that digital IMAX theater, which is convienient to where I live.
speaking of trailers, did they show Alice, Dragon, Inception, Tron Legacy? Those are some examples of upcoming Imax 3-D movies, as well as one doc, Hubble 3D. I plan on going to see Avatar as soon as the show are not sold out. This past weekend Avatar did really well, even though Rockaway got hit hard by a snowstorm that wasn’t as bad as in the southern part of the state (where the only true IMAX is in Atlantic City).
A friend of mine went to see Avatar in either digital 3-D or Imax 3-D and although he liked the movie, he felt somewhat dizzy after nearly 3 hours of 3-D action.
Yesterday I was supposed to go see “Avatar” with my dad and stepmom for a 10:05 showing (RealD) but because of the inclement weather that was supposed to happen after the movie was over, I didn’t go. Maybe later this week I’ll see it with my Dad. I read some tweets from random people that they liked the IMAX 3D at Rockaway because of Avatar. Tickets for those showings are selling better than the RealD and 2D showings. I’m sure this movie will have legs based on word of mouth. BTW, Toy Story 3 will be in IMAX.
Here’s the link to more info on the tech specs for Avatar… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/technical
The scope version is used for both 2d and 3d 2k versions, and the flat ratio is used for the IMAX 3D version.
moviegoers who want to see avatar in 3d be warned….a small number of people who went to preview screenings of the film felt sick and nauseous after watching the whole thing. I hope I don’t get that feeling with my dad after watching it, especially in IMAX 3D.
It’s 360 seats. Subtract 20 or so, and it’s 340, not a lot of seats for a real IMAX screen, but second largest in seats next to 360 for theater #9. BTW, how are sales for Avatar this weekend? I think it’s going to be huge…i wonder how many digital 3D screens will play this movie when advance tickets go on sale for the digital 3D and 2d versions tomorrow night. So far, two screens are digitally equipped with RealD/Sony 4k. I think the Imax will sell out since those tickets were on sale earlier.
how many seats does the imax screen at rockaway hold, and is it bigger than the regular screens at the complex? i’m going to see avatar in that format in a few weeks and will have a report on the movie.
I used to go to a THX certified screen for one movie, Dinosaur, and the movie wasn’t playing in Dolby Digital and was quiet Dolby Stereo. This was in Clifton Commons during its early years. Wonder if AMC still has those two THX signs up on those screens as well as in Bridgewater Commons. Those screens didn’t show the THX trailer, which kinda sucks even though I can watch them online and on DVDs.
Recently AMC offered Pizzeria Uno at several locations with the tagline “Hasta La Vista Hunger”. I got a coupon for that offer, which thankfull expired…..who wants to eat big food during a 2 hour movie? I remember when AMC’s Clifton Commons, as General CInema, used to have cookies and coffee from Starbucks, but since AMC took over, it’s gone. Same could be said for east hanover and its barren food counter between the entraces to the two wings of the theater that have six screens each.

the seating capacity for the rockaway Imax is about 290, according to the video that is to the right of the article in the daily record.
happy 77th birthday!!! Three years from now the world might end but the landmark will live on!!!
on monday. It’s either 3-D or Imax 3-D. Any suggestions?
not yet but maybe next week.

cool…will they have starbux?
did they show the iron man 2 trailer? I saw it online and it looks promising.
seems that one of the screens was retrofitted with a 3-D screen just in time for Avatar.
avatar is playing on three 3-D screens.

Hey Peter, did they dim the 6 front lights near the screen? I’m hoping that during my next visit, I plan on seeing it in either 3-D or Liemax 3-D.

i usually sit in the middle during an imax show. omnimax is more immersive. thank god amc didnt add a dome to the theater!

avatar will be on two 3d screens, one imax 3d screen, and one 35mm screen. twilight 2 is still digital.
