6 minute prologue + high probability of trailer playing after the prologue.
Twas the same with TDK Prologue but there were some bouncer type dudes with IR glasses huffing and puffing infront of the queue and everyone took a few gulps and slid their smart/camera phones into their undies - no one was asked to leave their cellphones outside.
It'll be too short and be over before you realise it. Then we'll have our armchair GAF editors bitching about the editing and how the inertia was "off" in a particular scene.

I thought about trying to grab a ticket, but I don't wanna drive out to Langley for six minutes. Me and my buddies are planning to go see MI4 and SH2 on the same day, so we'll probably catch it then or a hopefully good-quality bootleg (that I trust one of you amazing people will somehow get).

They will put them in a paper bag and you'll get a ticket for later.

I don't have a printer, so I told them to e-mail me the voucher so I can print it later. It's taking awhile. How long did it take for everyone else?
Edit:Nevermind. I can reprint them if they don't email me.

Got passes for San Jose. I know need to convince a friend to ride with me. That's two hours of driving for six mins of film.
Don't forget to count the hours you have to wait in line.
What are the chances of anything special at these screenings? Director? Cast member(s)?
Or will we sit for 6 minutes, possibly see the new trailer, and go home happy?
That's hardcore, man. You think it'll really be worth it?

Hey buddy. I just want you to know, I booked normal digital tickets for Ghost Protocol next Friday. The timings for the IMAX screenings were shit, plus they are twice the ticket price.... for... shitty Digital fake IMAX. I have no 70mm IMAX in my country. I'm so sad now. I think I'm going to cry.

Ah, that sucks. So you'll miss the scope of the 70mm scenes, but I still think Digital Imax is pretty great when it comes to picture quality and sound. It's also the best option for 3D.

I'm off to Manchester to see this- just need to convince some folk it'll be worth the trek/money. This shouldn't be hard but it probably will be

If only I didn't have four essays due in the following day!

I saw Transformers 3 in Digital IMAX in 3D. It was fantastic. The glasses and projection were better than any other 3D experience I had.
But in the case of Ghost Protocol, the only Friday night "IMAX" screening is a midnight show. I don't want to see the movie THAT badly, and there's an earlier 9:30pm screening in the same cineplex on their biggest non-IMAX screen, in digital. The seats are great, the sound system is great, the screen is great. This is not a 3D movie. The tickets are half the price of the IMAX ones. I think I made the right decision here!

What are you talking about? They've already confirmed the prologue is screening there.

Ugh. Seattle is sold out.
They give you a paper bag to put your phone (and ipod or anything else electronic basically) in with a ticket, and then after the screening you trade the ticket back in for your stuff.
BFI is actual IMAX so i'd expect 70mm film. I missed all all this screening hoopla, so this is not the same as what comes before MI4? Because i've tickets for that already.

Just beware there is no line forming while you are enjoying another movie. Its first come first serve.
Neither. Get on line for the prologue.

I think the IMAX at the Melbourne museum is a 'real' one, although I could be wrong.

The screening for both these movies is at 6:30-7:00. By the time they finish I'll still have 1 hour before the prologue.
Still might not be enough :lol

I still can't get over how many people are lining up to spoil the movie for themselves, whilst I wish it wasn't even attached to my screening of Ghost Protocol.
Different opinions I guess. I hate spoilers for a movie I can't see or haven't seen.
Watching the actual first 5 minutes is not like reading the script or about the plot on paper.
Besides if its executed as well as the Bank Heist and has nothing really to do with the rest of the movie's plot then its not spoiling much of anything.

I feel the same way. There's no way I can understand being excited for spoilers. This is the kind of movie you should just see 1 trailer of, and then go in the theater once it's released and experience it all fresh.
Different strokes and all but if I went to see MI4 and they showed TDKR footage I'd honestly step out for 2-3 minutes and then come back in. It's that serious lol.

I'll be there with a group of 3. If any NYC gaf members want to attend but didn't get a ticket, let me know. I'll probably have an extra since my girlfriend can no longer make it.
