I'd probably be up for that (and see Dune 2 for my 6th time, LOL) if they're doing it at the Lincoln Square IMAX, heh, but I imagine that's not too likely over here... _Man_

Shhhh... Let me dream a little, heh... ;):P _Man_

Well, I'd love it if they re-release both Dune 1 and 2 for a week or so in IMAX at year's end or thereabout for awards season... _Man_

I've probably had my fill after 5x, LOL... unless it's still showing on a premium screen over here a month from now perhaps... :P _Man_

Just saw it again on Monday evening at the Lincoln Square IMAX (for my 2nd time there) w/ some buddies this time. Realized that the only moments the AR look closer to scope is whenever we're seeing thru a character's binoculars or spectator glasses (or whatever they're called). Actually...

Is it actually the screen (or whole setup/theater) not being true (large, 1.43:1) IMAX or is it they didn't (or no longer) have 15/70mm film PJ capability, which was apparently required for Dune 2? IIRC, someone earlier mentioned their 1.43:1 IMAX theater couldn't show it in that AR/format, but...

I doubt it's any kinda olive branch. It's just a very brief recap/refresher reasonably well done just to help everyone dive right back into the story. Frankly, anyone going to see a (obviously highly anticipated no less) movie entitled something Part 2 has gotta know/realize they shoulda seen...

Claustrophobic? Isn't the IMAX 1.9:1 AR more open, not tighter than the scope version? I might give Dolby Cinema a try as well next Tues or Wed probably for a matinee w/ my A-List. Might as well have a look-see at what likely to expect for the 4K disc release... _Man_

To be fair, I'm sure there's more build-up for Dune 2 than could possibly be for Dune 1, including w/ help from the Dune 1 re-release. Plus the Oppy/Barbenheimer run and re-release (along w/ Tenet too) might possibly have also benefited Dune 2 w/ helping getting more people back into going to...

Meanwhile, I just came out from a digital IMAX screening where they musta ran the max of ~30min of trailers, etc before starting the actual movie... but I was actually glad for that since I ran late and literally walked in right when it began, LOL -- since I just saw it 2 days earlier, wouldn't...

Well, if it falls off a cliff, it certainly won't be my fault, LOL... ;) as I now already have tix to see it 4x (inclusive of yesterday... plus a few for friends) after they just extended the Lincoln Sq IMAX run today for their first of likely multiple weekly(?) extensions (and apparently...

While this doesn't top ESB for me (and shouldn't need to), I bet the 3rd one will easily top RotJ, haha... Not sure, but I'd say this probably tops The Two Towers for me though, but that's probably at least partly because I'm far more familiar w/ (and deeply invested enough in) the source...

Haha... I actually haven't gotten around to seeing that other film just yet (on my disc backlog)... though that's not really a spoiler (of that other film anyway) for me (or probably for most any others in similar boat) since I already knew that story, of course, heh... but yeah, don't read that...

Anyhoo, I just saw Dune 2 in IMAX 15/70 earlier today and loved it... ... although I have to say I wasn't quite as impressed w/ the visuals this time around as for the 1st film... even though I found the 15/70mm film PQ of this is definitely a fair deal better than the 4K dual laser...

As Jake's examples (and actually, many others) show, the vast majority of mainstream movie-goers, which you'd need for big BO numbers, may not actually be that interested in great sci-fi, especially if it's the kinda true sci-fi that Josh pointed out earlier, instead of this kinda (sci-)fantasy...

Well, Joe, guess what? Yep, just snagged a good seat for tomorrow's extra, noon-time screening that someone musta just canceled... so I'm finally seeing this actually for my 1st time -- I never actually got around to watching my 4K disc yet. :D:cool: From what little I've actually heard, hope...

Thanks for the heads-up, Joe! Too bad I didn't see this til just now. I was too busy going to the Times Square AMC to see a couple, tightly scheduled movies (for my remaining A-List allotment for the week) and didn't realize they added another show for Thursday noon (ahead of Dune 2) -- if...

I probably wouldn't normally wanna sit in first 5-6 rows of the Lincoln Square IMAX for a 1.43:1 (V)AR movie. I forget now, but might've tried the 5th or maybe 6th row or something like that my 1st or 2nd time w/ either The Dark Knight or Watchmen back during their original runs -- I didn't...

Probably about the same w/ the Lincoln Sq IMAX... though Oppy did pretty much sell out there for most every show, especially the evening ones, during its extended, original run... and Dune 2 only has front couple rows left for all the prime evening shows for a good while now. Same for the 2...

It may just be the IMAX screens, particularly the small number of 15/70mm ones, that have sold quite that well far in advance... That certainly seems to be the case over here in NYC. _Man_

Yeah, I've checked (again), and only a couple front rows still available even for the weekday matinees -- I'm never gonna go for those seats, especially for that giant screen, LOL. I might try checking again (including the day of) to see if anyone cancels for a good seat, which does sometimes...

^That's definitely hardcore! :D:cool: I'd also like to see Tenet in IMAX over here at Lincoln Square, but not sure I'll be able to get a good enough seat for a viable screening... _Man_

Well, as long as I don't need to do a doubletake wondering if I'm watching Furiosa instead -- they both seem to be out in the deserts afterall, LOL... _Man_

Hmmm... wonder if most will know to expect the preview and stay for it. Could be hard to exit beforehand if so, especially w/ particularly good seats for an evening show at the Lincoln Square IMAX -- those rows are 42 seats wide/long w/out center aisle(s)... :P _Man_

It does often enough make dialog pretty hard to make out in this case though -- granted, IMHO, most of the obscured dialog really isn't quite that necessary (to be clearly heard) anyway, but still, could be offputting for some viewers, especially those who don't like loud soundtracks... I...

I wasn't aware... and wouldn't have noticed (until attending the rerelease) if you (or someone else) didn't mention it here -- and that might've been a shocker... as I was just gonna avoid seeing that 10-min preview. I hope that preview doesn't somehow ruin/detract the experience of seeing the...

I don't remember all the exact details, but they did also advertise this version of Dune as the next Lord of the Rings and/or Star Wars level epic saga, which should imply multi-part movies. Also, anyone remotely familiar even just from hearsay of David Lynch's Dune would be aware a good...

He might've meant something like back-to-back days between the two (w/ an overnight stay), not literally double-feature on same day... although I have no idea what they're doing in Toronto. Here in NYC, that could be done on back-to-back days if he actually managed to get tix -- woulda had to...

Technically, we didn't know for sure... but only because they hadn't actually/officially greenlit it just yet -- it was clearly planned though... and Part 1 actually indicated "Part 1" at the very beginning of the movie and was also indicated in some trailers before opening night, IIRC...

Well, Joe, you're probably getting another chance for the week of 2/9-14. I'm not sure how it is over in Calgary, but advanced ticketing just began here around noon today. I couldn't get any (reasonable) tix for the lone evening screening last week, but just grabbed 3 excellent seats for this...
