11.50 for an IMAX? how about 17.50 in new york city- what a fuggin ripp off. unfortunately for us residents of the 'big city', the prices will continue to spiral, and we have sony takng over a majority of the (good) theaters years ago to thank for that, which immediately rose prices across the board. even our regular movie tickets are as much as 12.50- wtf.
That said, There are 2 new IMAX's- faux ones i suppose- in two thetatres here in the city- sheapshead bay in brooklyn and at the old AMC on 42nd street. they must have recently gotten certification for these because they werent there even a couple of months ago. ticket prices? 16.50 if im not mistaken. wtf. I'll check them out one time or another, but from what I've read here, I'm almost prepared to be dissapointed.
Honestly every movie ive seen in the real sony imax at 68th street lincoln square has been the shizznit. Massive, booming sound, the works. Its definitely better now that movies have IMAx specific scenes, such as the dark night- the IMAX scenes were aaaammmmmzzzziiiinnngggg, looking so much better than the regular cuts. I just missed star trek in IMAX, now that they are rolling over the engagements every two weeks for the summertime. Missed watchmen as well- but my trusty home surround is ready for that movie already...now when i get my new pioneer HD ready a/v amp...neighbors, watch out! :)
