Did you see it at the PACCAR IMAX Theater?Henry W Jones said:The one at the 'Pacific Science Center' in downtown Seattle.
So that's twice so far. One more again on Saturday at the marathon!!!!
Scared me for a second there! Thought they were screening it on The Boeing IMAX Theater!Henry W Jones said:Yes sir!!!!
Attila the Professor said:Man, unresponsive audiences really take the fun out of something like this.
Next year, Universal will join the crowd with "Jurassic Park." <b>George Lucas has promised re-releases of every "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars" film</b>, with two more, "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith," on deck for next year.

We were able to be absorbed in the film...even though we've seen it once before in the theater, I was surprised at how grossed out he was by the mechanic's death and a few other moments. The hand was creeping over the eyes, but never quite covered them. Like Jaws, (sadly unlike Skull) there was some reall tension!
No distractions are great!
Once I have my "private screening" I guess I could enjoy some mass hysteria...as long as I felt I wasn't missing something.
So says the Last Crusade fan...Attila the Professor said:You remember my account of the Raiders screenings I went to awhile back. Most of the interest, to me, was hearing where they'd laugh, where they'd gasp, whether they'd cheer. I don't know if an Imax screening is more self-selecting because of the big ticket price, or because there were so many different showings, or because the gigantic screen turns the affair into a Nolan-esque piece of white elephant art, but people didn't seem to be having much fun. And it rubbed off on me, to be honest. I agree with most accounts that claim it looked good and sounded great. Maybe it was just an off-day for me; I'm not sure. Other than the Army Intel and Indy's house scenes, I'm not sure I got totally into the film until the airplane fight.
I was surprised to see some "regular" theaters booking it for an "exclusive week" starting midnight tonight/tomorrow...Moedred said:...Raiders is expanding to 55 more screens for a total of 322!

Rocket Surgeon said:There are all sorts of issues, you point out a few reasonable ones...another consideration that came to mind was the economy in concert with the "limited" blu-ray release. I guess you mean the Marathon by the "so many different showings".
Dr. Jonesy said:Sorry to hear that, Attila. But I completely get what you mean; if I'm seeing a film I love and the audience is just...kinda dead, it does taint my experience a little. Once you see a film you love again in cinemas, for you seeing the movie on the big screen again is only half of the experience and almost more importantly the other half is sharing/experiencing that film you love with lots of other people.
You've already seen the film in theaters, now it's time to experience it with others and if everyone else seems to be not into it, it kinda lacks that important part of the even. Especially if that film is as epic as 'Raiders'.
I hope my four-film marathon has a better crowd than your 'Raiders' screening did. I'm going to a 280 seater-sold out crowd, so I get the feeling that they'll be into it somewhat...
