There is no "IMAX quality" except that provided for filming and projecting onto 72 foot screens.

It is not a viewing standard. It is a method of filming/projecting.

My only comment 2 u. It is a SOUND and QUALITY standard.

Size is irrelevent.

That's what they ALL say, but then you undress and the laughing begins and...

Sorry, wrong thread...

Saw DARK NIGHT RISES at a true IMAX theater... no way I'm gettng *THAT* experience at home. The visual experience was amazing!

Oh, and size is relevant, my friend.

You're quite wrong - I am indifferent to your remarks.

Size is NOT irrelevant.

IMAX is a motion picture film format and a set of cinema projection standards created by the Canadian company IMAX Corporation. IMAX has the capacity to record and display images of far greater size and resolution than conventional film systems.

Where does that definition say it is a sound and quality standard? It is not a successor to THX.

Why don't you just look up what IMAX actually is?

Who has a 40foot screen at home?

Who has an IMAX projector installed at home without an IMAX screen to view it on? That's a waste of money, not sure you could even watch a movie scaling it down to a tv.

Lol..................have fun.

I think that the way "Cinemas" or "Movie Theaters" are going to survive in the age of Netflix is to specialize in QUALITY.

Not just screen size and the best sound systems, but also premium services.

I wouldn't mind paying $17 for a tub of popcorn & 2 sodas IF THE POPCORN WASN'T SOME CRAPPY/STALE PRE-POPPED SHIT THEY BUY IN BULK. No one actually pops their own popcorn anymore. Give us better food, better seating, and cleaner facilities.

They already have some of these "luxury theaters" popping up...see Muvico for example. Some of these have leather recliners and you can order REAL food to be delivered to your seat.

Of course, you'll always need the 12-screen jumboplexes with cheaper seats to cater to teens & the younger crowd who still enjoy having a place to congregate.

People will not stop going to the movies.

I was going to say I go for the popcorn but Target is right next to my favorite movie place, and I like their popcorn better. Well, they'll probably start searching folks carrying big bags now, so the popcorn it is.

He's very clearly misunderstanding or just being difficult for difficult's sake.

This is a non argument. None of u have seen these theatres that I'm speaking on...yet u are experts on it.

I'm amazed..............but then again I'm an not.

A true IMAX screen/set up is nothing like a 40 foot screen and some seats. It really is a unique experience and simply can't be duplicated at home.

But I'd still love to have a simple 40 foot screen at my place.

Have you seen these....?

They're inflatable screens that you can use with a projector to turn your backyard into a movie "theater".

Or, some people use the projectors alone and use a blank outside wall of their home.

I attend a summer outdoor movie series her in LA - moves around to different parks in an around the city. They use the big inflatable screen - it's pretty cool!

You could just show us a home IMAX set up, but as they don't exist, you can't so you won't.

I'm amazed it's so hard for you to admit you're wrong.

There are no home theater magazines with picture of people who have set up IMAX at home?

No how you too can have IMAX in your home?!!

We have to wait until you actually go visit one of the many friends you have with such a setup?

What a laugh.

I just noticed the ongoing argument about people having IMAX theaters at home.

I never knew that! You guys are so weird over there

The french word probably got mispelled at some point and anglicized (sp?) to theater. But the snobs in the live theatre community adhere to the original french spelling.
