Same, saw it at home though and loved it.
Sure, why not, as long as they have no spoilers it's fine here.

I believe so. Maybe spoiler tag it for those few that wouldn't want to hear anything at all for the first week or so?

As someone who intends to go in fully blind, I concur with this suggestion.
Only two more days!
Haven't been this hyped for anything since the GBA release.
For me it's kinda like seeing Lord of the Rings each year (hobbit was disappointening), depending on if the new movies are good and not just Phantom Menace 2.0.
This would be a good gesture. I don't know yet if I want to read reviews or impressions or go totally blind.
are there any spoilers?
New scenes, new music, opening music spoiled
Id say if you are on the fence dont watch, there is alot of new stuff

Well my assumption (based on the fact a previous conversation with my GF had her say she wasn't bothered about watching this at the cinema and wanted to wait until it was out on blu ray) led to trouble yesterday, she was annoyed when I said I might go and watch it on Friday because I didn't ask her if she wanted to go.

I love that gif. Was pretty much my reaction to her when she said she was annoyed.

I feel bad for buying a ticket to a Thursday showing instead of Wednesday. I've literally never been this excited for a movie, and I don't even expect it to be a masterpiece or anything. I just want some Star Wars.

What time?Everyone gonna stay up at watch the premier tonight? Livestreamed
I was getting gas today and the little infotainment video screen in the gas pump told me that there's no post-credits teaser on The Force Awakens.
The gas pump told me this.
I don't know if I've ever seen media saturation on this level. Anyone who makes it to Thursday without inadvertently learning the entire plot of the film is going to have to be a goddamn anti-spoiler ninja.

It is a damning tragedy in modern day filmmaking that this film is only being shown in its true format at these fifteen locations in the entire world.
Additionally, you can find the locations that are showing it in IMAX's new laser projection (at the correct aspect ratio, in 3D, but digitally) at this link to see it they're near you. It all goes back to the blockbuster or bust point in modern filmmaking.
Here are the difference between the versions:
You are most likely going to see this:
You are most likely NOT going to see this:
If you're a director like JJ Abrams, I don't think your vision should be compromised in this manner or you should even allow it to happen (TY Quentin). He's lucky that he even gets to use IMAX cameras in the first place. Why even bother to film in this format if no one is going to be able to see it? AND then brag about it? #bestformatever And then back track and say the 3D version of the film is the way to go? #nologic
It annoys me that seemingly artistic people are okay with letting studios chase $$$ in their name (3D tickets sell for higher prices so fuck paying people to project the movie in 70mm using real projectors and affecting your bottom line) whilst sending the exact opposite message regarding their vision to the paying customer. Talk about selling out.
Anyways, an argument can be made that at some point in time Star Wars was about the art and craft of moviemaking, or the wonder, adventure, and excitement a sci-fi story could contain, or that it was some elaborate and fitting commentary on modern day humanity. But, at face value when considering Star Wars' more recent failures both critically and at the box office things have changed drastically regarding what Star Wars is. IMO it has become abundantly clear that we can no longer make such an argument in the defense of Star Wars and the modern day spectacle that it is. Yet we still do. It is astonishing. Our adored franchise sold out and it's about time we all came to terms with this.

^ Star Wars is not and has never been sci-fi. And that IMAX aspect ratio is fugly as hell.
I would expect the Blu-ray release in May, if I had to guess.

Thanks, will be a hard wait.
But I really don't want to see it dubbed.
You folks aren't helping, I need to stop checking out this thread.

The feet fetish internet people are gonna be hella mad to miss out on that Daisy Ridley foot action, though.
bro it's only some smoke and some sand, who cares
Yeah, it's completely empty screen space, specifically because Abrams was well aware that the vast majority of theaters would screen it in 2.35:1. The full frame version looks like someone forgot to matte the shot properly and just put up raw film. All movies look like that in raw form, but they're shot to be seen in 2.35:1 or 16:9, depending on the filmmakers' choice. I would be pretty surprised if the unmatted version was the intended formatting, and the fact that it's only in 15 theaters in the world like that is pretty good evidence of it. It does bring up the question of whether the Blu-ray will contain that version, though.
I see what you did there. Or the week before Memorial Day week, which is the traditional theatrical release week for Star Wars films before this one (and the release week for Episode 8 in 2017). But really it's more that it seems like a decent halfway point between TFA's release and Rogue One's release, and lets them pack Civil War trailers onto the Blu-ray to prepare for that film's June release.

Why film with those big expensive cameras?
You know movie theaters can charge more for 3D screenings? And they don't need to have an expensive projector or pay a projectionist.
It's one scene btw.
No the images were doctored because I have a large head fetish.

I don't think her head looked big in person.
Because they're great cameras, especially for big action stuff, which is all they used them for in this film. Dark Knight did something similar. But because a ton of people will not be seeing the film in IMAX, any film that does that will always still frame the action with an eye to a standard aspect ratio, and the extra IMAX picture will always be extraneous scenery that doesn't really add anything of real value to the shot. Only films that are intended to be exclusively seen in IMAX will use the full frame properly at that aspect ratio.
Then what the hell is going on in that scene? It's like big head mode in goldeneye.
