Went yesterday with the grandkids. They charged $2.00 extra because it was 3 D. Did they do that where you Lived? I agree very boring!

We don't have the 3-D option here (and we looked) -- but the other 3-D movies we have seen have never charged extra. Wonder if that's the theater or Disney Animation Studios trying to earn better profits?

We saw it in 3D and had to pay extra too. I've also had to pay extra to see movies on the Imax screen at the local theater (Disney's Beauty and the Beast).

I didn't think it was the best movie around, but we both enjoyed it. The 3D was good for my DD's vision therapy. I was amazed at how crisp and sharp it looked. 3D has come a long way!

they showed a preview for Nightmare before Christmas in 3D. I know that played a few places last HAlloween. Looks like it may come to my town for next Halloween. We'll go see it for sure.

We pay extra for Imax, but since the film used is much more detailed/expensive (and since we only go to Imax for really special movies), I don't mind. :-) Something about the big screen just makes me smile.

Oh yeah, I don't mind paying more for an Imax filmed movie (about space or dolphins or whatever), but this is a regular theater with an Imax screen showing regular movies and charging more for it. Right now they are showing 300.

I guess the moral of the story is: if there's anything "special" about the movie like 3D or showing on an IMAX screen, be prepared to pay more.

We did get to keep the glasses. The 3-D was excellant and did make the movie special. THe kids enjoyed the movie.

I think any movie shown on an Imax screen has to be filmed differently b/c of the larger screen, more pixels, etc. I'm googling trying to find out, but don't have a definite answer yet. :-) (I just remember when they put Beauty and the Beast on Imax and I was at a presentation where they talked about the changes that had to be made.)

I'd like to know what you find out Teach. I do remember that Beauty and the Beast was a special release, only on Imax screens. But I'm really wondering if this theater in town is getting special Imax prints of regular films or are just showing the regular film on the Imax screen and charging more for it.

I just went to the Imax theater's web site for our area. They definitely CANNOT use regular film. (Then it hit me -- we took a tour of the darn place when it first opened!) The film is 10 times larger than regular 35mm film usually used. It's higher resolution as well. Here's the link I used:

Here's a link to the first projector created...and the new ones aren't much smaller based on what we saw on our tour.
