There's only a few theaters in LA doing it, it wouldn't be that convenient. But I'm curious what the experience is like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really better than standard projection ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And oh my God, there's a screen in a city I'll be staying close to for a month in December. If only this movie came out then.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've seen FURIOUS 7, SW7, BVS, and GHOSTBUSTERS in it. And yes, it looks nicer than regular projection (as far as I can tell). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to try laser IMAX but I've heard positive things about it although nothing can beat seeing 70mm IMAX, seeing BvS in that format was bloomin' incredible.

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) 3D is actually watchable in Laser. And, if you get a film like Ghostbusters, that is great in 3D regardless, it's pretty incredible. Edited July 20, 2016 by Jayhawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMP Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm wondering, to anyone who's been to Barco Escape, is it specially formatted for the screen(s) like films are when they're released on digital IMAX? Beyond is the first film they're showing in Escape here, and was wondering if the quality would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Barco? Laser? In my day you showed a movie on a film projector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a theater that has that over in Bellevue. Now that I am employed, I have the option to try out a few more things, I guess. 59 minutes ago, Telemachos said: There are about a dozen IMAXs in the US and Canada that have laser projection (as of this spring; there might be a few more now).

Not sure if any projectors besides the Christie 6p, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's three screens (left, center, right) so certain sequences will entirely fill your peripheral field of vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMP Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Their uniforms in Beyond don't look as sleek as they did in the last two films imo. Edited July 20, 2016 by TMP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because Spoiler I think they're wearing/acquired older uniforms from the older ship that they commandeer once on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's because they need a separate uniform for each screen of the Barco Escape format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
