That's not too bad! That would've been my second choice.
That IMAX doesn't have reserved seating unfortunately. I'm not even sure at what time I should head over there.
That's a good idea. Every time a commercial comes on I avert my eyes. When I glance, it seems there's always new footage. I'm going crazy.
Yeah, mine starts at 4am. I considered getting there at 3am with my buddy, but by the 7th film, everyone will be moved into the 3D room (or is it IMAX?) so what's the point? Then again, I don't want horrible seats for 14 hours.
I wonder if they'll have intermissions?

Damn, just checked Fandango ticketing not available there.
I'd hate to spent $40, drive 45 minutes and get shitty seats but I really want to see it in 70mm..

What's the difference with 70mm?
Same here. Managed to get tickets for the 8pm showing at Aventura.
Same, but I'm glad the prequels are first so if I'm tired then I can take a nap.
I'm wondering the same thing. I'll probably call over to my theater in advance to check.

I am going to King of Prussia in PA and they have reserved seating.
I couldn't see the midnight showing so we are seeing it in the afternoon on the 18th.
After the birth of my kids it will probably be the greatest day in the history of my life.

Are all imaxs 70mm?

Nope. Only the real IMAX are. Not the usual ones you find in AMC theatres.
There's only 15 theatres in NA showing the movie in 70mm.

right. And its not really a Battle of Jakku, its a chase sequence of our heroes meeting up and getting the hell off the planet.
But the rest of the film will still size up really well in IMAX
Ayyyy, non 3D right?

Looking forward to seeing how the new IMAX laser tech will enhance the viewing experience.
Anybody see a movie in IMAX laser yet? Is the quality difference as big as purported?

Same. Fury Road was sublime.

I still find it really fascinating that in an official capacity, the film's title does not reference the Episode number, but is just Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

I went with Regal South Beach IMAX over Aventura because of the reserved seating.

If The Force Awakens manages to be even HALF as good as Fury Road, it'll EASILY be considered the best Star Wars movie in 35 years. If it's like, 2/3rds as good? People are gonna be arguing whether it or Empire is the best Star Wars movie ever made.

I wish I liked Fury Road THAT much. Thing is, I loved Fury Road, and I still think the praise is overboard. Force Awakens shouldn't have any problems being better IMO. It's hard to explain I guess. I do like Fury Road a ton, I recognize how well made it is but the amount of love it gets went over my head a little.
I guess it's sort of like how I feel about Empire. I fucking love Empire. But it's not by any means by far the best one to me as many feel. I think it's great and among the best, but I don't think it's head and shoulders ahead of A New Hope or hell even Revenge of the Sith (though I know not a popular opinion so I won't argue it). In the end I find myself wishing I felt this way about these movies because damn.

Rough approximation:

also:
Just to give you an idea.
Wasn't the movie shot in 35mm? Wouldn't the image seems stretch?

I feel like I know where I can look and such without being spoiled. I'm seeing it the 17th though. I haven't watched anything since like one or two TV spots a few weeks ago, maybe three weeks so I'm not even caught up on anything relatively new. I see no reason. It's out in a week. But yeah, godspeed in staying spoiler free.

i think that and creed kind of raised the bar so high for franchise revivals. i don't think abrams has it in him to match it, but still i'm excited about the prospect of a really fun star wars movie here with the OG cast. we'll see how it turns out. so soon.

It's kind of blowing my mind how close it is.

Yup. I was at work today and I looked at the calender and it just hit me that we are just one week away. Still hasn't hit me really. Trust me I'll start getting excited on like Thursday

Basically, for a single sequence in the movie, the full height of the IMAX screen (real IMAX, that is) would be used. The rest of the time, the film would only take up the middle 2/3rds of the screen as presented in its correct aspect ratio.
Most IMAX screens in the US aren't actually IMAX screens, though, they're just regular size screens branded IMAX with a bunch of the seats scooted closer to it.
What gets me most is that we could easily, easily, live in a world never seeing Luke or Han or Leia in another film, but we are, for at least one.
Its incredible to me frankly, the actors got on board, they did it before they were too old and could tell some new stories and we get a continuation of Luke.Fucking.Skywalker
I genuinely cant believe it

I'm already looking forward to speculating about VIII and IX. Such exciting times. I wasn't alive with the originals, was born a few months before Return of the Jedi and watched that trilogy when I was still very young. The prequel trilogy... I enjoyed it a lot but it was very predictable so speculation was at a detail level rather than story level. So this trilogy is the first, as a Star Wars fan, that actually feels unpredictable and as such I've avoided spoiler culture.
Despite eclipsing 33, this is the first time as a Star Wars fan that I've been at an age or mental capacity to speculate about a new set of films without really knowing anything or being able to guess as much as you could with the prequels, or the originals when you're 4 or 5. This is fucking awesome.

No, it remains in it's correct aspect ratio; it's just that now the screen wouldn't fill up the entire wall.

I'm guessing you already purchased tickets?

Nose how to spell and rede to
Lol seriously though, my friend wants to go super early and I think it's way too early. He's talking hours in advance. I'd think an hour at most would be fine. Not the best seats but also not like we'll be in the front row not together. Am I wrong? I mean I feel like I've been to some pretty big opening nights before.
Oh yeah
Shoulda got in line yesterday, duder.
Real answer: I with stuff like this I usually drive by a few hours in advance and try to see if there's already a line forming. If so, you might want to just go ahead and get in line. If not, maybe catch a quick meal in the area, and when you're done, go by again and see if the line situation has changed.

You're clever, ain'tcha.
What does it matter whether you're talking spoilers here or there? Why is that baloney?
