i'm sure it'll still be amazing, i'd just REALLY like to see it on a mother-effing huge screen
He is getting a crew together to hand out a small BOLD bullet point list of plot point spoilers to hand out before the movie starts. He's also only going to be doing this at the IMAX.
They will also be there reading the list to the people in line at high volume! HA HA hHahahHahah HAHA HA HA!!!
If Dark Knight sucks, it will not be because people didn't see it on IMAX. It will be because it sucks.
A larger screen and 20 minutes of footage with a larger frame.
If someone sees TDK in a normal cinema the only difference will be a smaller screen and 20 minutes of a cropped image (No doubt anything that has been cropped off won't be important).
If you see the TDK in either a cinema or an IMAX venue you will have seen The Dark Knight.
SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FIRST 6 MINUTES OF THE DARK KNIGHT FOOTAGE THAT WAS ONLINE...
Look at the picture of the clown in the foreground aka the joker. You will notice in this image he is clearly not wearing any joker makeup underneath the mask. Look at his eyes. Yet later on in the scene when he takes his mask off he clearly is in full joker makeup.
--Your pictures aren't accurate because the film prints are anamorphic----no masking at all.--
Jesus the wait is killing me!
4 more days, 4 more days, haha...

If the Imax image is compromised in 35, is it also the case vice versa? Since the Imax screen is taller than it is wide and the 35 footage isn't, does that mean that they crop the 35 footage when presented in imax or is it just stretched?
I thought that the IMAX screenings of "Batman Begins" were done right -- use the same widescreen aspect ratio as the 35mm screenings, and use the full width of the IMAX screen without panning the image to fit the full height of the 4:3 screen. The enhanced image quality with the IMAX DMR mastering and the 24-bit audio used with IMAX prints (higher audio resolution than Dolby Digital and DTS) are already incentive enough for going with IMAX.
I'd even be okay with a full frame 4:3 presentation, so long as it does not chop off the sides in order to fill the screen.
Thanks for the article link! It actually answers my questions. Indeed, the 35mm sequences will be centered on the IMAX print, while the IMAX sequences will fill the entire screen. Best of both worlds!
You won't loose any information on the sides of the 35mm widescreen of the IMAX screen, instead what you will get is a much bigger canvas as the widescreen is lifted OFF and OPENS up the TOP and BOTTOM sections of the frame. if you understand Super35, it's just like that.
I'm excited to see TDK on IMAX...seeing it with my buddies on Saturday...bought 13 advanced tickets for a 10PM SOLD OUT SHOW!!! :D:D

Yes, they change the format throughout the movie. Most of the aerial shots are in 70mm, as well as a few other scenes. For the major part of the movie you will see black bars on the top and bottom which are hardly noticeable. It's still a giant picture. But when the IMAX sequences come up, you are kind of blown away, it's so frickin huge.
