I like to eat Mexican Food and have a beer before the movies, but sushi works too. I don't really like paying for parking at Howard Hughes Center, but I guess it's not that big of a deal. I saw Insurgent there (used ATMOS) and the sound was terrific.really impressive. I like the ATMOS sound a little bit better than the Auro system (though it really depends on the mix) and the XD in Playa Vista (aka Silicon Beach) has both Auro and ATMOS. Here's another recent article on IMAX laser projection including future laser projection locations.Ĭlick to XD 18 has good prices. The Cinemark XD 18 is my preferred theater for now - prices are good there especially with the Tuesday deal, XD is a nice brand new theater and there are plenty of places to eat at the Center too. I was hoping to get in to check out the laser projection, (and trailer of course) but passes all gone in like, a few hours! Speaking of free preview, WB was holding a free 15 min event, (trailer/clip?) for Batman vs Superman this Monday at the Chinese Theater. Sorry can't help ya out on breakfast! I've only been out there twice - once for free 17min GOTG Imax preview, (1st time there to see if it was worth price & trip) and 2nd was to watch Interstellar so I don't know the area at all. Hmmm, maybe they weren't sure about laser at the time and just didn't want word leaking out yet? Not sure either - I did look at their Facebook and they didn't have any mention of the new laser projection until a week into April, (from what I could see). Yeah, that does look like the same projector from your post, 4k laser projection. Lol thanks for the cred, not on Superhero Hype boards but I read their articles quite a bit! I'm sad to see the IMAX go, but I also appreciate the opportunity to see virtually every new release on a "true" IMAX sized screen with with resolution levels that are quite impressive. Many are pretty dark, but I'm working on them so you can at least see some of the aspects I'm trying to highlight. I have some pictures I will also be posting that you may find interesting. In the next few days to a week, I will be posting comprehensive reviews of every aspect of what I think is, by far, the best "digital projection" movie-going experience in the Los Angeles area. My first impression of the new theater was based on seeing "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" on April 4th from my seat in the middle of the third row. This includes access to the projection room and all the projector, sound, screen, and seating specifications. My brain essentially refused to believe it.The Cinemark theater (formerly "The Bridge" and, then, "The Rave") recently replaced one of the few true IMAX theaters in the Los Angeles/Orange County area with an XD "Extreme Digital Cinema" theater.Įarlier today (4/30/14), Cinemark representatives gave me full access to every aspect of their new XD theater. While I was looking at a tableau of blue-skinned aliens riding giant winged sea-snakes across a luminous sea, I tried to remind myself that literally nothing on the screen exists in the real world. Because underwater photography already has a kind of hyperreal clarity, the shift to HFR is less noticeable, and it’s also when the movie pulls out its most dazzling National Geographic–style imagery. After its first hour, The Way of Water takes places not in the first movie’s tropical jungle but around and in the ocean, and HFR plays very different under the sea than it does on land. (Broadly speaking, the movie renders dialogue and character-based scenes in more film-like fashion and applies HFR to action sequences and landscapes.) But over the course of the movie’s three-plus hours, I grew more used to it, and by the second time I saw the movie, I noticed it even less. My reaction to watching Avatar: The Way of Water in HFR started off the same way, even though Cameron applies the HFR more selectively than Jackson did.
