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!

Saving Private Ryan came out years ago. Where have you been? In a coma?
Why not go see batman again? It's amazing seeing the imax shots in it, I was blown away and it was my third time to see it.

I know it came out years ago. But i didnt see it until it came out on DVD so never got to see it on a big screen! What better way to do that than on an IMAX!

I saw 300 in an IMAX in Toronto and it was very deadly. But the problem with the Dublin IMAX was that it didn't show regular action movies, only special IMAX documentaries. I agree it would be cool to have an IMAX in Dublin again, but not if it's only going to show fish doc's narrated by Sting.

I was brought to that Dublin IMAX in school for some documentary. Think it was about a volcano or something. Anyway, we were the only people in the cinema so they probably werent doing the business.

Not many Hollywood movies were released in IMAX back when the Dublin one was open, it would stand a better chance now, lots of the blockbusters have IMAX runs now, and some like The Dark Knight have scenes filmed especially with IMAX cameras.
Saw the second two Matrix movies in one of the London ones (there's a few I think, including one in the science museum), and they looked amazing!

It's too expensive to shoot in imax for an entire film. The cameras are so much bigger, the film is so much shorter and there are other logistical problems as well. Nolan shot with two cameras, having one ready when the first ran out of film. They also broke a boom with the weight of the camera. He shot some parts of The Pretige on imax as he had it in mind for batman

I saw the Dark Knight in the Imax here in London. Great cinema. Shame the movie was on the boring side.
