You guys have plenty of great IMAX options out west, and this was specifically filmed in that (usually Imax is just upsized, and not worth it at all)Thanks Woof and jwin. Was gonna go to the local theater to watch here in Hanford, CA. Now I'm going to make the trek to Fresno and their Imax. As you say, it's a treat. This part of Dune (in the book) has the most action, so should be a humdinger. The Kyle Mclachlan version was pretty close to the storyline (for those long of tooth), and cannot wait to see this version. PS, Sting (waaay much younger) was a marvelous Harkonnen, but this bald guy might surpass him for sheer arrogance. Always smuggle in my own junior mints (popcorn too bulky), but Woof's oreo shake sounds delicious. Now, all gotta do is coordinate wifey's schedule with mine....This treat will probably equal the price of two Happy Meals....
And most movies don't have this many epic, sprawling scenes to benefit from not only the screen size, but the vertical space. I'm usually a purist for wide screens, but there are a good amount of times where more vertical breathing room is helpful (IMAX is an odd, more square format).
From spending way too much on movie snob forums on reddit, it sounds like you usually have to pick:
1) Screen - if your area actually has a true imax. All sorts of people arguing about whether Edwards is great/trash, or Regal (same), etc.
vs
2) Seats - the dolby digital and other smaller theaters often have more spacious seating and better recliners.
I have trouble imagining it being bad on any of those, especially if you can go on a day without a lot of people.
Go grand, and you'll have a great time. My Cincy theater isn't massive but the clarity and the sound are tremendous. The snacks looked pretty good too, but I had just eaten breakfast so I did not partake.
They said they sold out before opening day of the buckets
