I'm seeing it on film first. I do want to see it in Digital at some point just to compare.

I'll see both, though I'll have to take a trip to a state far far away to see the digital probably. I'd prefer to see the film version the first time.

Just celluloid for now but the hunt for a DLP cinema within a 100 mile radius is about to begin.

I'm going there too. My gf works at Kodak and says this will be the beta for the new Kodak DLPs. Should look pretty sweet.

8 showings, only one sold out as of a couple hours ago when I checked.

I catch most movies there or at the Majestic in Silver Spring, depends on if I'm leaving from home (Laurel, thus closer to Muvico) or work (closer to Silver Spring).
cool. I really like the Majestic theatres as well as the AFI (right there). Never been the Muvico, read that it's an experience.

if you can't see it in digital DLP, the next best thing is to hear this in Dolby Digital EX 6.1 sound (from my researching of the sound formats - Ep III wasn't even mixed in 8-channel SDDS sound).

Here in the District - Regal Gallery Place has two auditoriums with Dolby Digital EX 35mm presentations:

Screen 10:
12:30 / 3:45 / 7 / 10:15

Screen 12:
12 / 3:15 / 6:50 / 9:45

It's about the same as the Majestic, except the 2 biggest auditoriums are a little bigger than the big ones at Majestic. And they have curved screens, which if I recall correctly Majestic doesn't.

Other than that about the same, aside from the egyptian Decor in the lobby and auditorum walls. Arundle Mills a very nice mall as well.

celluloid so I can get all the color fading in and out and bad sound scratches which we did this morning. The scene where anakin learns the truth about Palps went from clear to yellow back to clear about 3 times in a few seconds. Gotta love it.

Celluloid this morning, DLP next week. May surprise the stepson with tix...

This was my first DLP viewing and WOW it looked great! It's funny cause the first thing I noticed was the big green screen they show before each preview. I was like "look at that green!" It was so bright and uniform. The movie looked great; no scratches or hairs. Nice steady picture with no jitter, no jarring splices. I didn't notice any artifacting or pixelization but I wasn't looking that closely. Thumbs up from me. The bonus was that after the movie, my g/f saw her friend from Kodak and he gave us a tour of the booth..very cool.

I've seen it twice now on DLP but I'm curious how it looks on film. Anyone been to both yet?

Is there an actual list of all the theaters showing it in DLP? I tried nearby cities' zip codes with no luck and it would be easier to see a list. Looking for something near the carolinas or georgia.
