Just like the topic says. I'm curious as to which version was screened. I'm especially curious of the Zigefeld(sp) theater in NYC.

Seeing as there are no DLP projectors in Atlanta (more specifically at the Regal Hollywood 24) ... this one will be film.

Apparently you guys are forbidden from expressing opinions on the film at this point? Or can you say if you liked it or not?

Time Magazine was quite positive:

The first three Star Wars were epic. The next two, not really. Now George Lucas has pulled out all the stops and finished the cycle with Revenge of the Sith

By RICHARD CORLISS

...On May 19, you'll see where they got: back, finally, to the beginning. The narrative arcs of the grand epic, gracefully bending in a double helix, will be complete. Anakin (Hayden Christensen), the handsome, headstrong young Jedi, will be lured by impulses both arrogant and poignant to collide with his awful fate. Under Darth Sidious, the Sith Empire will shred and swallow up the fragile Republic. Anakin's Jedi guru, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), will scuttle into hiding, as will Yoda. Over the galaxy, the silence of repression will fall, broken only by the cries of two infants, Luke and his twin sister Leia. "This is the movie that people have wanted to see," says Christensen, who in Sith steps confidently into Anakin's turbulent and agonized manhood. "And it does it in a clever enough way that you're never a step ahead of the story." ...

AFAIK, the Clearview Ziegfeld now has a Christie CP2000 projector and an Avica FilmStore server. (They used to have a Barco). They currently show that they will have both a digital and film prints.

Paul, do you know if you saw it on a 1.2K or a 2K DLP? And how did it look?

It was done on the 2K and looked good. I was in the very front row. Saw some pixels, but you would see the same thing if you were proportionaly sitting infront of a crt. Otherwise, image looked great.

I'll refrain on any story comments until the movie is released.
