    4D is bordering on heretical ;)

    On the subject of Cineworld, I actually wouldn’t be surprised if we see some of the bigger multiplexes showing this in nearly every single screen they have. While I’d usually be wildly opposed to such blockbuster dominance, the sheer lack of new films and the severely reduced capacity in screens means there might be some extreme measures taken! Only question is whether Warner would give them a dozen DCPs at a reasonable rate!

    Remind me - 4D is what exactly....3D with splashes of water thrown at you or some **** like that?

    I really want to see this but practically 3 hours in the cinema with a mask will be hard work...

    .. how will I eat my "so called popped corn"?

    From what I've seen, you're not obliged to wear the mask once you've taken your seat. I suspect I'll be erring on the side of caution though.

    I was at interstellar tonight and you wear mask in and out but can take off during movie.

    If you think about it, once people don’t talk it’s actually safer then a pub or a classroom or many office environments.

    You also get little spurts of air either side of your neck at times. I did it once, for 'Solo' because I wanted to see if the experience was annoying as I thought it might be and that was the only suitable time after work. I would never do it again.

    Nothing like a splash of water, a little dose of whiplash or the feel of someone coughing on your neck to take you out of the cinematic experience :D

    I booked for The Lighthouse screen 1; no one sitting beside, in front or behind you - it sounds like bliss tbh and I'm looking forward to it!

    Just saw the ad that says this is out Aug 26th .
    Seems a crazy idea to release a 200 million film in the current climate.
    It should be put back till next summer.

    It's a calculated bet. There's been nothing new in the cinema for months now so they're reckoning on a pent-up demand, especially for somebody known for big screen spectacle. if they held off until next year, it might be more likely to get lost amongst all the other films since there's a big backlog now.
    It's also opening in territories that they deemed looking safe enough so it's not getting a wide US distribution.

    I imagine a lot of other studios will be looking to see how it performs (and I assume studios still have bills to pay so they can't keep waiting).

    Was looking forward to this but then remembered last three nolan films.. severely bored by dark knight rises and dunkirk, and completely underwhelmed and disappointed by interstellar. Inception and dark knight both 10/10 flicks though. Really hope tenet will be a return to form

    Could potentially be the last chance they have at making a cinema release!! Cinemas might not be around this time next year

    I'd be fascinated to see the revised projections Warners have for this; it was a big gamble before most major markets started experiencing a surge of infections (well there's a sentence 2019 me could never have predicted), now it seems more so. Though I've not read nor seen any news of cinemas being closed again, while the new lockdowns have been regional rather than national. I don't get a sense chains are considered high risk in comparison with (say) the various meat packing companies at the centre of outbreaks.

    Sounds positive ->

    Couple of impressions from a press screening

    Absolutely no spoilers btw

    https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2020/8/9j7re4a3q83tj38crh0tfoa0spj7dk?format=amp

    In the mould of his core original stuff but less obtuse, more concise and the actors have the scope to act.

    Like the sound of it.

    Yes it does sound very positive.

    That first review whilst not having direct spoilers definitely alludes to a few things that are spoilers in an indirect sort of way.

    If you've watched the trailer you would already know more than anything alluded to there tbh

    I am really looking forward to this. I remember seeing the IMAX teaser....... Before the last Star Wars movie!!!! I am studiously avoiding spoilers for this. Not even looking at the barest reviews. Especially as many critics were a bit sniffy about Interstellar which I loved (Except Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain's parts should have been reversed)

    Looking forward to going to the imax and having a glass of wine watching this :)

    Yeah,I would imagine that if it was successful, that they will re-release this in the cinema next summer. Big "See it on the biggest screen you can find" type campaign. Certainly won't be released online/home until after that. Say, this time next year.

    From my understanding, we have the projectors but we don't have screens/walls big enough to display the full resolution.

    OK, afternoon showing on 28th booked.

    Back row centre with no seats allowed to left of me and only two seats allowed to book on far right on row.

    Cinemas still showing signs of being severely impacted as no other seats in my screen booked at all (and very little others seats booked for MAXX screening that day).

    Entertainment.ie and The Guardian both gave it a
    pretty damn scathing review! 2.5/5 for EI and 2/5 for The Guardian.

    This does not bode well!
