That’s good to hear. I heard Cats and Dogs 3D got bad reviews. Good thing, since that movie uses fake 3d. I was watching some movies originally released in 3d in theaters such as Jonas Brothers concert and Journey to Center of the earth and they used effects that were 3-d like. Not good.
JJD, I saw “DM” at Rockaway at the smallest 3D screen, #13. It was enjoyable once the crowd died down during the movie. Very funny, lots of action, thrills, and plenty of fun with those minions. I can’t wait for the sequels. This movie is Universal’s CGI cartoon answer to Toy Story, and will provide much needed cash to a studio which hasn’t had a huge hit in a long time.
Next weekend, another 3D movie opens, Step Up 3D, which was shot with 3D cameras. Are people ever gonna get tired of seeing too much 3D movies already?
I loved Toy Story 3 in both 3D and 2D. Both were pretty good. After Toy Story 3, there will be a short featuring the characters that will be shown before Pixar’s next 3d toon, Cars II, for release next year. And soon pixar will make a movie about talking planes called planes!!!
Ur Welcome Mike. From now on, If i want to see a big event movie like Inception that is coming out in IMAX, I’ll see it in the IMAX screen. Not for the faint of heart.
I went to this theater’s IMAX for Inception and enjoyed the movie. The surround sound was booming and loud and clear, the screen was taller than what it was before IMAX, although I saw some pixels since I sat two rows above the non-stadium seating level. Despite that, I’ll still go to the IMAX since I don’t have to go all the way to Manhattan or West Nyack to watch IMAX. The only trailers that were shot in true imax were Tron Legacy and the IMAX presentation trailer. No AMC trailers were shown during the presentation. Maybe AMC should create a version of their jungle preview lol.
My local AMC in Rockaway has been doing this for nearly 2 years. When it first started, it used the digital 2k preshow projectors resulting in a DVD quality picture. Now that AMC has gotten 4k projection in three of its screens, they can use one to show an HD live event such as the Met Opera series or prerecorded shows like Celine Dion’s concert movie.
If you have money in the stock market, RealD just issued an IPO today that was higher than most of the stocks that were down in the market today. The ticker is RLD. If anyone sees Inception in IMAX, hopefully it’s good. Too bad that most of the digital screens are being reserved for the three 3D movies. Slimshady, will more 3D screens be added by the time Cats and Dogs 2 comes out?
i was at the theater last night for twilight eclipse. THe only thing that distracted me and my stepmom from watching the movie was that some kids near the front seats near the screen waved their hands near the screen, creating some shadows that were annoying. They also threw some popcorn and candy in our seats, which was annoying. At least the young kids didn’t talk loud during the movie, which was good. So as of right now, 3 3-D movies (1 of which was fake) and one Liemax movie that wasn’t shot in imax are playing. I will rather see inception in a real imax theater as well as seeing it in digital 4k if Rockaway stops showing airbender 3d.
I agree. I usually sit in the middle near the guardrail above the seats that share with the disabled sections just to get an immersive view. While not the best view due to being close to the screen (blurriness can happen unless if I see a movie in 4k 3d), it allows my knees to go up on the guardrail.
I agree Slimshady.
Check out this box office chart….avatar is still kicking it at the box office. By the time the re-release happens, it will break $800 million lol. View link
now showing 3d films.
this theater now has 3d projection.

Pretty soon it will surpass radio city and ziegfeld as most commented theater on CT!!! lol!!!

Last night, the popcorn machine caught fire, causing the theater to be evacuated. This according to some tweets by moviegoers.
Coming close.

Older people might find Inception confusing and violent but younger moviegoers will appreciate the movie more often.
How was Despicable Me, JJD? I heard it was good, even in 3D.

I agree movie534. They should probably label them as Superfund sites.
Had the Atco survive into this decade, it would’ve gotten digital projection and 3d.
Had the Amboy been kept open, it would’ve benefited from digital projection, 3D, but not a liemax screen.
An odd drive-in.
FYI, the number one movie in America is playing at this theater in Digital projection.

I like the fact that all 15 screens are identical in size and scope. The screens are big when it’s matted and small when in scope.
I agree Slimshady.
