Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)

... i didnt even pre order tickets. blaaaah ill see it when i see it... negative mood rant over :darnkids
 
Were all theaters only letting you preorder opening day? We have a Cinemark theater and that's all they would let you preorder. I was hoping to get seats for the following Mon. to avoid the rush. BTW, for anyone with Cinemark theaters, has anyone tried their XD theater (bigger floor to ceiling screen)? I just wonder if it's worth the extra money.
 
it's so funny.....at work there's daycare kids that are 3 to 5 year old and they know the characters already! :lol

XD is their premium format and should be equivalent to RPX, IMAX etc. I haven't been to one but I will be for R1, since it's the only premium sound theater close to me that will be in 2D. I'm so sick of having 3D rammed down my throat, it's getting harder to find high end 2D. I hate 3D, it looks like a pop up book.

Pay for the 3D screening, keep one eye closed while seeing it, VOILA! it's 2D ;)

:lol
 
Everybody knows the southern hemisphere doesn't count ;)
Thankfully we have never had a south hemisphere vs north hemisphere war :lol :facepalm

I miss summer :( snowy Sweden sux. It is not Hoth, so it is not cool :p

lol. :lol

Actually Sweden is on my bucket list to visit one day. Your country looks beautiful. :)

It's definitely beautiful. Even when we have snow. I personally however only like it when observing it from in-doors :lol My fingers and hands very much prefer warmer weather so that I can be outside, and do some photography :D sunset2-2560.jpg
You're very welcome to visit/move here, and if you want free tips on great locations/guide, feel free to hit me up :D

I once made myself a pair of "2D glasses" for "Real D". It does not work.

Once you watch a 3D movie that way, crosstalk between left and right eyes inherent in the projection system become more apparent as your eyes no longer try to focus on the intended depths. With 3D glasses, the crosstalk is therefore perceived a little bit like a blur - but in 2D the superimposed image can be seen for what it is.

I lament the demise of high-end 2D. Otherwise, the price of a screening in Sweden has surpassed the price of a DVD and you would have to bring your own glasses to a Real-D screening. IMAX 3D (the only 3D with reasonable image quality) is only available in one spot in the entire country and costs more than a BluRay.
The only way that the theatre chain could provide me with an experience I would be willing to pay for would have been if they had made an event out of it, like they did with the midnight premieres of Episodes 1, 2 and 3. There is a tiny chance of me getting a screening for a last-minute troop with the 501st, but I'm not counting on it.
I'd rather wait for the BluRay.

Nothing special compared to the rest of Europe. No buildings of significance, no spectacular nature. (And the women are not all tall sultry blondes...) Many American tourists that come here expect to be able to see some wildlife but leave disappointed. If I have never seen a wild wolf in my life (of which there are only about a dozen in the entire country), then how would they?

Our neighbour Norway has Hoth (Finse) and fjords surrounded by steep mountains that are quite spectacular. It is very very expensive, but worth it.

Indeed. Just like the 3D conversion mode on TVs, doesn't work.

Mall of Scandinavia :D been there once, when I saw TFA. My first and only IMAX experience, unless you include Cosmonova. And yeah, the price was, quite extraordinary.
I checked out the size of the pixels during the end credits and they were quite big. But then again the screen is huge. 16K resolution, 16384 pixels wide would probably look incredible to say the least.

We have plenty of cool buildings and architecture, like Ringmuren, Turning Torso :p as for nature, we have one of the worlds oldest living trees here in Sweden, Aurora Borealis... But yeah, Norway is even more beautiful. As for wild life, where I live we don't even have wolf/moose/bear/wolverine etc like you guys on the mainland has :p foxes and hedgehogs for the win.

I don't know about that, you guys do have a pretty nice looking tank museum, that alone puts Sweden on my bucket list.
