LieMAX is great for everything that isn't a 2D film shot in IMAX. It is my preferred choice for seeing The Hobbit. It see it in 48fps or I don't see it!
The glasses at my local LieMAX are large and uncomfortable. The bridge pinches my nose shut. The 3D effect did not seem as effective either compared to the RealD screens in the same place, at least when I saw Avatar multiple times.
The screen is smaller than many other auditoriums in the same multiplex. The tickets are more expensive. In fact, the LieMAX was put in one of their smaller auditoriums here, and is probably the second smallest screen in the building.
They don't have the projector set up correctly, so movies that should be letterboxed, like most of Dark Knight or Star Trek, just take up the entire 1.85 frame. I know there is something being cut off.
The only benefits my LieMAX gets me is reserved seating so I can show up at the last minute, and better sound.
