IMAX

I don't know is it correct forum to post it..

I'm looking for IMAX or similar size 3D cinema somewhere in Ireland. I'm moving back to Galway next month but it can be located anywhere in Ireland. Can anyone help?

Isn't there one in Dublin? Or are you trying to buy one? Maybe contact IMax directly for prices.

Karoma · 12-07-2008 10:42PM

There's one in Belfast.

There was a IMax in Dublin but it closed years ago, it was located where CineWorld on Parnell St is now.

And Virgin which way taken over by CineWorld used to be located on the other edge of the square.

Glad that mystery is solved.

Actually, The Dark Knight would be sweet on an IMAX screen. See www.imax.com

Not only The Dark Knight.. They're playing U2 concert in 3D and some documentary about Dinosaurs at the moment..

I wish to see those 3.

They should open an imax theater in dublin.
Its brilliant watching movies on the imax!
I remember watching Matrix Revolutions in an imax theater, it was brilliantly crazy!
I wonder The Dark Night probably would be really amazing on the imax too...

Mossy Monk · 13-07-2008 01:35AM

I know someone who is flying to London to watch the Dark Knight at an IMAX. Must be a pretty big deal.

flanum · 13-07-2008 02:59AM

Why did it fail?
Like yeah, there are not many interesting movies released for the imax but like every big city in the world's got one... Dublin should have one functioning too...!

Is it their first time going to the IMAX?
Went to see the incredible hulk there last month and left feeling fairly underwhelmed... I'd say it'd be sweet for something in proper 3D, but for a regular film it's just a big curvy screen...

IMAX documentaries are not like documentaries showed on Discovery or NG. To me they are more like a fabular movies made to look like documentaries.

I've seen two documentaries in IMAX during my visits in Warsaw, they got 6 or 7 IMAXes there.. There were pretty cool, especially African Adventure: Safari in the Okavango. Both in 3D. I was really impressed by the 3D effects and atmosphere of the films.

I've seen one of the Harry Potter movies in standard cinema and IMAX. Same movie. Comparing them two I'd say that movies in IMAX uses better quality of scenes and (i might be wrong there) bit better quality of sound.

ScumLord · 23-10-2008 12:04AM

Whats an IMAX? Is it like some sort of information based tampax device?

The_B_Man · 23-10-2008 12:26AM

I'm looking at the IMAX here in Sydney out my office window. They're showing The Dark Knight and some dinosaur thing and U2 3D is coming soon!

Would be interested in going to batman if i didnt see it already. Hope they show Saving Private Ryan on it!

That's not true.

Overheal · 23-10-2008 01:08AM

Damn I meant to go see Dark Knight in IMAX!

Ponster · 23-10-2008 07:48AM

I saw the movie '300' in an Imax cinema in New York which was absolutely excellent !

KTRIC · 23-10-2008 07:58AM

Be sure that it's in 3D. Not all of the movies shown in IMAX are 3D.

My first IMAX film was some documentary about Titanic years back, in Warsaw as I remember. Sounds boring but wasn't, however I'd slept if I had to watch that film in standard 2D....

Saw Dark Knight Imax few weeks ago in New York, was incredible! My first Imax, loved it!
