Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I’d go but my theater doesn’t do Fathom Events screenings. Saw a screening at a different local theater years back.

My town has a car show downtown in August and one year to tie-in with the theme they showed Back to the Future and American Graffiti for free.

Saw Back to the Future with my dad and my grandpa and later that night went to American Graffiti.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I'd go if it wasn't a Fathom event but just a regular "back in theaters" engagement. There are enough revivals out there already that qualify for A-List, like Jaws or E.T. last year. I just can't justify taking the family out for $60 for a movie we have at home.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

The last time Fathom Events held a Back to the Future screening, they couldn’t get the file to play and we ended up getting free tickets for another movie. I still haven’t seen this in theaters.

I’m not sure I trust anything from Fathom Events. My limited experience has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth for the quality of the overall experience.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

My teenaged self saw this in the theatres when it first came out. I remember when the camera panned over all the clocks at Doc Brown's place at the beginning, some dude yelled out "What time is it...?!?" and got about a dozen different responses back, giving everyone a good laugh ... :lol:

Back when being at the movies with other people was a great experience ... :thumbsup:

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

A-List and Regal Unlimited don't cover this showing.

It would be $14 out of pocket.

Funny thing, if I just drop in my 4K disc for BTTF, it will probably look better than the picture of this showing. But, I did see the Fathom Events Enter the Dragon showing a few weeks ago and it did look good.

40th anniversary IMAX re-release starting on October 30th

X - Formerly Twitter

AMC is showing it in the afternoon at 3pm (some of you might be still at work) and it's A-List eligible.

Of course, this will vary by region for availability.


Easy sale for me. I never saw this in the theater 40 years ago.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I remember seeing this multiple times at the $1 (or whatever the cheap rate was at the time) theater.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

With The Muppet Movie off my list this (or Network) is probably my favorite film I’ve never seen in the theater. Hope this is playing for more than just Halloween because i would make the 2 hour drive to Imax for it but can’t on that day.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Nice!! There's also new 4K releases coming as well.

Edit: Also if this, Jaws and the Batman films can secure premium screens, why in the world can't Lucasfilm do the same for it's SW anniversary releases? I swear if they can't even do that for the 50th Anniversary...

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Reminder. The IMAX re-release starts tomorrow. Looks like in my area, tomorrow is 1 IMAX screening per day. Friday it varies from 1-3. I plan to see it Friday.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

:banana: Woo-hoo! This 40th anniversary screening at AMC IMAX qualifies for A-List! We are IN for a Saturday IMAX matinee! :banana:

The kids have only seen this once and it's been at least four years. They were so excited, bounding off the couch cushions during the finale. I think it will captivate them once again!

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

We're going to see it at the Alamo on Friday afternoon.

Best part about being empty nesters is shutting the lights off and going to the movies for Halloween. Last year we went and saw the original Halloween at the Alamo. Keeping this tradition alive with one of my favorites.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Going nexf Monday with my daughter for a Monday Movie Club showing with trivia and hoopla.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I was at AMC last night to see Anniversary and saw they still have the DeLorean car/bucket in stock. It is quite expensive at $50. While it's cool, I just can't justify that expense for something just to look at. I'd rather buy a few new 4Ks for that money.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I just got back from seeing it. Looked great in IMAX.

Surprisingly they gave out a free mini poster. But the artwork kind of sucks. There is a 40th anniversary poster that showed the cast that I would have preferred. But free is free.

Anyway, it was really fun re-visiting this again. And I noticed they actually took out the To be continued at the end.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

The “To Be Continued” was added for the video release. Purists succeeded in having it removed later. (This was the very last Univeral movie issued on CED videodisc incidentally.)

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Took my folks to see this Friday afternoon in IMAX - as expected it looked and sounded fantastic, older films continue to exceed my expectations with their audio mix in theaters.(esp in Dolby and Imax) Universal has been excellent at preserving their classic films. Passed on the mini print, too bad they didn't go with one of the other 40th anniversary posters. It's been awhile since I've revisited BTTF - pretty much perfect pacing and editing throughout, you get just enough time with characters and not a second more than needed. (and actually leaves you wanting more)

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Here is the free mini poster they gave out yesterday. Not really a fan of the design, but I took it.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

So fun seeing this on the big screen for the first time since 1985. I caught a few things I've never noticed before, specifically the newspaper article about Doc's family losing their fortune at the beginning, which caused me to clock the big house he lives in in 1955 next to the garage. I just never put two and two together on him being in the big house in 1955 but only in the rundown garage in 1985 (mostly because that's only shown in the opening scene).

Anyway, it remains one of my favorite movies of all time. It's pretty much perfect from start to finish.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I saw this today, and I was surprised how fast time flew revisiting this movie in the theaters. It seemed like the first few minutes dragged just a little bit then all of a sudden, it was the big dance. I haven't watched my 4K set, so maybe I'll break out 2 and 3 and finish off a trilogy refresh.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Good showing this evening. Only thing I noticed that I never had was that when the cop asks Doc if he has permits for his weather experiments he goes in his wallet presumably to bribe the cop.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

Took the whole family to see this last week in IMAX. That was an expensive night out. We usually wait to watch movies on discount days. Plus they still had the DeLorian popcorn bucket so of course I had to pick one up.

Everyone loved it. My 13 year old really loved it. She's a bit of an old soul so loves anything 80's. Even my 6 year old really loved it. It looked great on the LieMax and the movie still really holds up.

Re: Back To The Future - Back on the Big Screen
 

I saw this on the original release in a very old one-screen theater in a tiny beach town, and it was less than an optimal viewing experience. I was a bit nervous when the grainy splash scene appeared, but this was amazing in IMAX. I must have seen this film 100 times by now, as it was in heavy rotation on cable when nothing else was. Bummed I went on my bday 11/4 instead of on Time Travel day 11/5 ;) . As someone who has a huge crush on Elizabeth Shue, my only complaint was that she was not Jennifer in this one, too. :wub:
