U2 3D -Is it IMAX? - Page 2

I think it depends on various factors 1. size of screen 2. sound system 3. type of glasses.

We don't have a single IMAX in my country, but I'm going to Germany for the premiere and I'm going to see it on the "normal screen" and on the big IMAX screen. I'm really curious about the differences. Both cinemas will be handing out different types of glasses which will be interesting.

Let me try to guess where you live:

a. Greenland
b. Haiti
c. Easter Island
d. Australia

One of the above, probably

Not really, but the fact that we don't have an IMAX (our only IMAX was closed years ago) could very well lead you to believe that. It's a small country anyway.

But we have the European football championships this year. That's really something.

Ach, so!

Viel Glueck damit.

Yes I agree. When I saw it in the regular theatre the opening shots were super clear, but the were blurred at London. However then I saw it in Birmingham yesterday and it was all vey clear but they were much better quality specs.

I think the only option is see it as many times as poss in as many theatres as poss

Maybe we should start a thread for the most times people have seen it......

..........or that could make some people very

Clearly the only choice.
