    I got to see the Final Cut in Dundrum last friday as part of the jameson film festival. Managed to score a spare ticket from a random person in the foyer 10 mins before show-time :D

    But yeah, I have to recommend you go see this on the big-screen! :D

    This is being advertised by Movies as 'The Directors Cut', not sure if its a typo on their behalf or if it is the DC that was released in 92. The only version I've seen is the directors cut, but not in full so I can't say which version they are currently showing.

    I went to see it last night, its a lovely print.

    Saw this as part of the film festival there last weekend. It's the newer "Final Cut" that they're showing.

    Its awesome on the big screen. The LA landscape holds up really really well.

    I saw it in New York before the DVD release, it's still fantastic but there are some noticeable differences that kind of piddle on the wonderful ambiguity of the original.

    Still it was good to see a version without the stupid scene from the Shining tacked on the end or the hammy voice-over. I had been waiting for a special edition and hence had never seen the DC.

    I prefer the "hammy" voice over

    I wish they'd show it somewhere outside Dublin.

    Dundalk cinema are ****e - they only show mainstream/teenagers movies to rake in cash. Not a movie-lovers cinema at all.

    I'd rather download a movie than watch it here in Dundalk.

    I wish they'd show it and also the 3-D movies outside of the arse end of the Southside of Dublin. Movies@Swords is a superb cinema but I missed Beowolf, Nightmare Before Christmas and now Blade Runner, while a fairly crap film like Juno occupies the VIP screen, The Mezz.

    For irony's sake?

    Story goes the studio wanted a voice-over against Ridley Scott's wishes so Harrison Ford hammed it up to the extreme so that they wouldn't be able to use it. They still used it.

    I do like it in a nostalgic kinda way but I think it's much better without it.

    I hear ya - its ridiculous. I was lucky enough to be Auckland for a while - saw beowulf in 3D in the Imax. Screen was the size of a small country. Crazy stuff.

    An Imax would succeed now - its strange that only now they are beginning to convert hollywood stuff to the imax's format.

    I saw 300 in the Imax in Melbourne. It was simply amazing.

    In both cases (beowulf, 300) the storyline was bollocks but hence why they were perfect for Imax - you're going for the effects and what better way to enjoy them then on a screen the size of one half of a football pitch.

    If Imax came back they'd clean up. There's one in each major city in Australia and New Zealand and they are flying.

    Beowulf was my first Imax 3D, I'd seen Fantasia in Dublin on New Year's day 2000 on normal Imax.

    I have to say most of the fun I got out of it was trying to look around the things blocking Ray Winstone's cgi willy. It it wasn't 3D I reckon I would have walked out for it was bad in a bad way.
