AMC Rockaway 16

I know. AMC also provides Descriptive Video Service, Listening devices, closed captioning, and wheelchair access, although there are fewer seats in the front for people to move into than at non-stadium seating theaters in the back, making the picture somewhat blurry to those who sit there. The good thing is that the arcade machines don’t bleed noise into the auditoriums, which only get rumbles from adjoining screens, specifically the LieMAx screen, which AMC should’t have installed. Perhaps an ETX screen would do.

The next IMAX movie after Super 8, Cars 2, and Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, to play here will be Harry Potter 7.2, in IMAX 3D, Real D 3D, and DLP

on movietickets.com, several movies are featured with a film icon, which stands for Digital Film Format, as well as a 3d icon for digital 3d.

The Google Street View is wrong. It doesn’t show the AMC theater, just a rural street.

Hello. Seems that AMC is having issues projecting 2d movies using 3d lenses. Hopefully AMC fixes this soon.

It was shown at 2.40:1 on the IMAX screen. Pirates 4 was sharp and Super 8 was bright. They mightve changed lenses somewhat.

@Justin – you say you saw Fast Five on the IMAX screen. I’m curious about how sharp you thought it looked. I saw the Pirates trailer right before FF started and it looked quite sharp but then Fast Five never looked as sharp to me. Was it the same story when you saw it? FF didn’t look as sharp as the Pirates trailer?

I’m trying to figure out if the focusing got knocked off a trace once the feature started or if they maybe they shot FF with some new HD movie vid-cams that didn’t have top notch res or if hollywood is now starting to scrub away fine crispness by using DNR even on theatrical digital release ‘prints’ now like they all too often do on blu-rays in an irrational fear that the audience see any grain/noise at all.

(Oh and yeah I love vampire stuff (maybe not Twilight so much, for the most part) but Priest 3D just looks pretty bad to me too, no interest.)

(Top Gun was PACKED on Monday (and it looked they extened it to run all week as a special at this theater alone?). I bet it had 210 out of 250 seats or so filled.)

Thanks Justin, moviegoers well behaved,Wow.

I went to see Fast Five last night at a nearly packed house in IMAX. Prior to each showing they have a line barrier for those wait in line to get their seats after they purchase the ticket. Once we got in, I sat all the way up to the second-to-back row of the theater, in middle row. The preshow frame was projected smaller on the screen, more to the upper left corner of the screen rather than fill the IMAX screen. During transitions from preshow to don’t talk on the phone, there was a blue screen, which was kinda annoying. The trailers didn’t use up the full ratio of the imax screen, just in scope. The movie looked and sounded good on the IMAX screen, and the audience behaved and cheered well. Watch after the main credits for a bonus scene!!!

Happy easter!!!

Well I was just at the mall and peeked in to set what was on the IMAX (they have nothing listed as IMAX past the 1PM showing of Born Wild 3D) and it sure looked like Water For Elephants on the IMAX screen to me. I’m sure WFE is not playing on any of the true IMAX screens but in the digital theaters they sometimes swap around as fit. They don’t feel Born Wild 3D does enough business for the evening shows now so they need to make use of one of the larger seating capacities and there are no other IMAX films out so they just put whatever they feel fills seats I think and it seems like they decided on WFE, at least for this Saturday evening.
