How old should a child be to watch IMAX 3D movies? My 3 yr old LOVES the previews for the movie "Born to be Wild" but is only availabel in IMAX 3D. I am afraid she will get scared by the 3D effects. Any other parents out there have taken their young kids to see it? Thanks.
What is the difference between IMAX 3D and REALD movies? From a recent list of all 3D movies I downloaded from the Internet there were some labeled as IMAX 3D and others as REALD movies. Does this mean REALD movies are not shown IMAX movie theaters? Is there a quality difference?
Do they make kids sized glasses for IMAX 3D movies? I took my 3 year old daughter to see Monsters vs. Aliens in IMAX 3D and the glasses that the theater gave her were so big that they wouldn't stay on her face. Poor kid watched most of the movie without the glasses. The theater only had one size too, we asked. Does anyone make smaller glasses? Or does the technology require certain sized glasses?
can i watch 3d/imax movies at home with my tv? if i have the right glasses, the right film, can my tv play the 3d movie or not? my tv is 1080p. and by the way, i i think i read somewhere that the projectors are only needed for imax films cuz they are digital something but the film would be in lower spec in you home but it would still play.
Why are people so crazy about 3D and IMAX movies? I don't get what's so great about things flying in your face.. or having to crane your neck to watch it. I work at a movie theater and people freak out because they can't see G-Force in 3D at our theater...... seriously?
Why don't IMAX 3D movies look like oldschool 3D movies? I went and saw a movie in RealD 3D and things in the movie didn't pop out of the screen like in movies with the red and blue glasses, where it looks like you can grab it, but instead just popped out a little, not even out of the screen.
IMAX 3d movies don't look like the old school 3d movies or is it just me? Okay I saw Harry Potter on Imax and only a couple of clips were what I remember to be for real 3-d. When they were flying I only saw two threshals (or whatever they're called) in the theater, everything else was 3d in the screen like the shelves with the fortune balls only stuck out a littel in the SCREEN. My first experience with 3-d was the Michael Jackson "Captain Eo" movie and I remember he'd be OUT IN THE AUDIENCE above the audience and when he's flying at the end he's out in the audience. So my question is coudl it be my seating position(i sat in the middle so do i need to sit on teh sides for the next 3-d movie) or is it b/c it's stadium seating (Michael Jackson was like floor seats at a concert, are back to back seating. remember where you gotta sit to the side if someone is taller than you and blocking your way)
Can u watch IMAX 3D movie without glasses? I was just wondering, going to the movies on Sunday to see Transformers 3 in 3D with the family. Accompanying myself are my little cousin and brother, 7 and 5 years old respectively. I am worried that the 3D content may be too immense for them, can they watch the 3D movie without wearing the 3D glasses on their faces ? ?
Where is a 3d imax theater with the rides inside in the Los Angeles area? My wife and I went to this IMax theater in Galveston, TX, and there was some sort of 3d ride(not good with names) and it was so much fun. We would like to take the kids to something similar but in Los Angeles. I dont mean the normal 3d movies from Imax, Im talking about the strap on your seatbelt Imax film. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
Should movies be re-released in 3D-IMAX? I think it would be a great idea. Some classics would be great in 3D. This year is the 25th anniversary of the release of Back to the Future. If they did a 3 movie 3D-IMAX re-release it would be a great idea. I would watch all three back-to-back-to-back in 3D. E.T. is another movie that I think would be great in 3D. Maybe even the original Star Wars films.
Do IMAX 3D movies hurt your eyes? Do they leave your eyes strained, sore, or tired afterwards? Chantelle how do I know that link doesn't have a virus? nevermind the link seems to have been deleted
I keep seeing those 3D imax movie concerts advertised? Are they good? I am wondering whether its worth the money to see one. I have seen one advertised near where I live for a U2 3d movie concert and the Rolling Stones concert. I think the idea is lame but I really like 3d imax shows and I am curious becuase I am wondering how they are making enough money to stay in business when they are not showing normal movies instead
What is IMAX 3D for The Dark Knight like? I haven't been to an IMAX movie in about ten years or so. I'm going to see The Dark Knight tomorrow in IMAX 3D. From what I remember, the movie pops out at you (moreso than some of the 3D movies). What can I expect? Whats it like?
Coolest movies in IMAX 3D?? Ideas? What would do you think would be the coolest movies on IMAX in 3D, that have not already been released in this format? So far I have: Pink Floyd The Wall Yellow Submarine The Shining Close Encounters of the Third Kind The 10 Commandments Anything else? Keep in mind that these have to be pretty good movies, with a following, not just a lameass movie reformatted. Also, it has to at least been made in color (a lot of older movies (i.e. Psycho) would be great in this format, but they were made in a more primitive format, which would be difficult to make in IMAX.

I demand Mass Effect 3D IMAX movie? I demand Mass Effect 3D IMAX movie! But if my wish is going to happen, then it must be the right director & actors not like Megan Fox who can't act or Justin Timberfag who now acts new movies. I do not know the movie directors but I believe the one who directed District 9,Lords of the Rings or 300, will be perfect!
Are all movies in imax seen in 3D? The first time i went to an imax movie i saw a movie and it looked 3D sort of but i wasn't wearing 3D glasses. I want to go to an imax theater this weekend to see a movie and i'm looking at the movie schedule online for this theater and some movies say it's "imax" and some movies say "AMC(theater) select", and some don't say anything. So what's the difference? Do the one's that don't say "imax" look normal like in a normal movie theater or does it still look "special" because of the imax screen?
What are the best 3d glasses to use for 3d movies? I just watched My Bloody Valentine 3d with the typical green and red 3d glasses. It didn't look so good ( which I expected) and I wanted to know if there are any better 3d glasses to use for these movies so that you can enjoy them. I went to imax and the 3d movie there looked nicer, I am not sure if it was the 3d glasses or just the over all quality of the movie and the glasses put together. Thanks!

Do you like watching movies in 3D/IMAX? Personally, it unless it is a special type of movie it will just totally spoil the viewing experience for me. It brings some depth to what you're seeing but from what I've watched it is just so flawed.. Like I'd watch those Nat. Geo. type stuff like Under the Sea 3D but Superman at IMAX is a big no-no to me.. I know people love it tho, especially the younger ones.. what's your stance?

Do you see movies in Imax or 3D? i certainly dont see any movies in Imax. it aint worth 5$. and 3D is defianltly not worth 3 dollars especially whenu still have to wear those damn glasses. but if its a pixar movie or any animation movie ill probably see it in 3D. P.S. when i se harry potter i wont be seeing it in 3D

Can't see 3d movies anymore, but i use to be able, what happened? When i first went to see a movie in 3d, it was the movie UP and the full effect worked. Everything popped out and it was cool, but slowly after the effect started to go away. yesterday i went and saw avatar i imax 3d and nothing popped out. The movie doesn't look blurry at all, i can see like a depth perception but when things try to pop out they sometimes go blurry or nothing happens. What happened to make me not be able to have the 3d effect anymore?
Where do I buy 3D movies with the glasses? Does anyone know where I can buy 3D movies? I've searched many places and only found one called "Close encounters of the 3rd Dimension". I've seen some movies on IMAX but can`t seem to find them in the stores.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in Imax 3D? I want to go see the new Harry Potter movie in Imax 3D. But is it worth it? Is the whole movie in 3D or are just some certain parts? I don't want to waste money going to the Imax 3D if it won't be worth my money. Oh and are the tickets expensive for the Imax 3D??
What 3D technology does IMAX use? I've seen Avatar twice at my local cinema which has a Dolby 3D system and want to see it one more time during its run in theaters. Another cinema nearby is showing it IMAX 3D which I'm really excited about because walking out of the theater I was thinking that this movie is one of the few that would really benefit from IMAX. However I've seen IMAX 3D movies in the past and was really disappointed. There has always been problems with ghosting and distortion, I've walked out of the theater with terrible headaches, and so on. But I haven't been to see an IMAX 3D film since before Real D appeared on the scene. Does anyone know if IMAX uses the newer 3D technology or if they are still using older linear polarization setups?

Problem getting image to pop out of screen in IMAX 3D? I recently watched an IMAX 3D movie and although there was a plane of depth, there was nothing "jumping out of the screen" if you know what I mean. I know there was supposed to be that effect because the people I saw it with said that there definately was that effect. Next time I see a 3D movie I want to get the full effect. Any solutions?

What Seattle theaters are capable of showing 3D movies? Excluding the IMAX theater at Pacific Science Center, what theaters in the Seattle area are capable of showing the new 3D formatted movies, such as the recent "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and the upcoming "Up" from Pixar? Many movies are being developed in the new format, and my understanding is that "normal" movie theaters--not just IMAX--can be upgraded to show this new format. But which theaters are doing it? The Coraline hint helped. I found this: Theaters showing Coraline 3D Bella Bottega Redmond, WA, 98052 425-556-9323 REAL D 3D Meridian Seattle, WA, 98101 223-9600 x808 REAL D 3D

Can you explain an IMAX theater to me? What is an imax theater? Ive gone to an IMAX 3D movie. And ive gone to an IMAX DOME movie like the ones they have in museums. But when a theater says it has a movie on IMAX like for example THe day the earth stood still, whats the differance?? Is the screen like a normal screen? Do you have to where glasses like a 3d movie?

How does the 3D effect in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie work? If one watches Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the last 20 minutes of the flick is to be in 3D. I was wondering how would that work? Are the audiences required to wear provided 3-D glasses? Or is it a "simulated" 3-D effect without the special glasses? I might see the movie in IMAX 3D if it is available near a theatre where I live, but I will see it regardless if there is IMAX or not. So is it worth seeing in 3D? :)

Have you seen Superman Returns in IMAX 3D ? I have and it rocks. 4 selected scenes were shot in 3D. You definitely have to see in its IMAX 3D format. The movie is also a great tribute to Christopher Reeve who paved the way for the role of Superman/Clark Kent which is excellently interpreted by Brandon Routh. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor...all I have to say is wow ! Again, Gene Hackman paved the way...Kevin Spacey perfected the role...

new Batman movie has scenes in IMAX but not 3d what does that mean? Does the IMAX experience mean it'll look sorta like a 3d book (where a square will look like a cube)???Someone explain b/c they said it was a difference than just putting the movie in the IMAX room as they sometimes do (bigger screen more sound details) no that's not what I said. I just saw an interview and the people of Batman said that they were filming scenes specifically for IMAX so I was wondering what's the difference? (I know some movies just show the movie on IMAX screen, but Batman is filming some scenes with a different kind of camera. It's not 3-d, but something will be diff. than a regular theater. NO IT'S NOT IN 3D)

What are "Beowulf" non-IMAX 3D glasses like? I'm speaking of the 3D glasses in regular multiplex theaters, not IMAX theaters. I'm trying to decide if I want to go to this film in 3D or the regular format. *I assume they aren't like the ones of old with two different lenses but are probably grey tinted, correct (like the ones for "Ghosts of the Abyss"? Does the tinting affect the coloring of the movie or is it bright? *Do the glasses fit over your own glasses and are they made of plastic? *Do you keep them or put them in a bucket after the show?
3d movie question? Hey all, i was wondering, is the movie The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep showing in imax or 3d at all? and, there was a new 3d movie coming out soon, but i can't remember for the life of me the movie or when it was coming out. It was a kids movie, and there was like this secret world you could only see if you like, either believed or looked through this ring thingy. anybody have any ideas? I'm looking for good movies for my little brother (7yrs old) and these seemed pretty cool. He would like the water horse, but he's never been to a 3d movie so i thought the other one would be cool. i saw beawulf, AWESOME I must say, but nothign for him >_< Cheers!!!
