Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
Did a search and didn't see anything posted on this so I apologize if it's been covered already. I know I'm going to take my kids who've only been able to see BTTF on DVD. Should be fun!
Back To The Big Screen!

Wouldn't they at least project the Blu ray instead of a DVD if they're going that route? It does come out that day & all. I'd think that wouldn't look too bad.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
Why, and watch a great movie get shat down like Superman 3D? Might as well keep it the way it is because it'll be incredibly difficult for them to project the movie into a 3D when it was shot only with the cameras available back in the mid 80s. It just won't look right.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
Having worked at an AMC, they do not have the equipment to project a Blu-Ray, and even if they carted one in, it would really look shitty.
It sounds like a safe bet that this will be digital projection of a DLP print, which is good.

No fear, though - Back To The Future will be projected digitally using the feature digital projectors, and most of those are very pretty Sony 4Ks.

I hope I can make one of these showings. I'm a huge BTTF fan.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
I've heard the opposite from most projectionists. The general opinion seems to be that Blu ray doesn't hold up well when projected onto an industrial size big screen.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
It all depends on the projector and the source quality. There's almost no difference in terms of resolution size between 1080p and 2K. If the Blu-ray looks outstanding, which there are many to choose from, and the projector is not consumer-based (i.e. one that I might put up in my living room); I'm sure most would not be able to tell the difference.
I would also like to go back to my comments in the BTTF HD Talk thread where I said this was not going to be a standard definition/DVD/satellite projection. For all the doubters, I told you so.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
Just got back from the 12:30 screening and it was a lot of fun! A very enthusiastic crowd and almost a full theater. Before the movie started some of the AMC staff asked trivia questions and gave out door prizes. After it was over we all got a full-size 25th Anniversary Back To The Future, AMC Presentation movie poster. There's one more show on Monday at 7:30pm if you're interested. Check the link in the 1st post to see if your local AMC Theatre is participating.

It was a blast though, theater was full and everyone enjoyed.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
For anyone who was on the fence about seeing this on Monday night, it is worth it. I wasted my money once on a fantom event (Poltergeist in 07), and was more than a little nervous that the BTTF showing would be of the same quality. It wasn't- the picture and sound were perfect.
