Author Topic: Paranormal IMAX Activity Joseph L. Kleiman Master Film Handler Posts: 380 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 10-13-2010 09:00 PM                     This is very weird. I've been monitoring this on my blog. Advance tickets are already being sold both domestically and internationally for a digital IMAX release of Paranormal Activity 2. But it hasn't officially been announced yet. I can understand waiting due to both the announcements of HP going 2D and TRON Night, but seriously, there's only 9 days to go and advance sales are already taking place. Weird.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-13-2010 09:35 PM                        It's true... the LIEMAX part anyway. Should look great considering the movie was shot on a handheld VHS-C camcorder.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 10-13-2010 10:20 PM                     I'd HATE to see this on a very large screen, I thought the first movie was going to make me violently ill - the cinema verite, camera movement near the end, I thought I was going to spew my popcorn from sheer motion sickness nausea. and IMAX-Digital for a film that was shot on a crappy DV camera - oh come on, I could think of more visually worthy films for the big screen experience.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-13-2010 11:15 PM                     Shitty movie is shitty, whether it's on a big screen or not.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 10-13-2010 11:48 PM                     I'm sorry but can we please change the title to LieMAX or Digital IMAX, don't soil the brand with this crap.  |  IP: Logged Jake Spell Master Film Handler Posts: 294 From: Johns Island SC Registered: May 2009 posted 10-14-2010 12:57 AM                     Why not? When they insist on doing it themselves... As far as the movie, just another way get more $$$ out of the consumer.  |  IP: Logged John Joseph Fink Film Handler Posts: 60 From: West Hartford, CT Registered: Feb 2006 posted 10-15-2010 09:33 AM                        This makes no sense at all. I remember when the first came out in Buffalo (which I went to at Midnight on Thursday) and was presented with for an option for an extra $2: 35MM in the IMAX auditorium. I'm an advocate for seeing films with the largest possible audience so I asked "well which one is more filled" - the answer - more people were seeing it in the non-IMAX. The IMAX had about 12 seats sold. I took the cheap option because I'm thinking seeing this kind of film that a large screen wasn't made for. I think it'd be creepier to watch it on an iPhone in the dark than to see it in IMAX. It should also be noted that as of yesterday the Paranormal Activity website didn't even list an IMAX Experience.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Butler Film Handler Posts: 47 From: Belton, TX Registered: Jan 2010 posted 10-17-2010 04:03 AM                     What a joke. Who the hell even thought of something this stupid?  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-17-2010 04:39 PM                        Now that we have Kyle's opinion on record, we can all sleep better... Thank you for your contribution ... and the answer is a studio executive that probably has a 6-figure salary.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
