Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)
- Thread starter AlexBC
- Start date
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.
...What the heck happened Halliwax??!! ... You were so geared in for tickets before.:confused

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.

I haven't seen anyone posting it, Rogue One is supposed to be 2 hrs 13 mins
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

I once made myself a pair of "2D glasses" for "Real D". It does not work.Pay for the 3D screening, keep one eye closed while seeing it, VOILA! it's 2D
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?Actually Sweden is on my bucket list to visit one day. Your country looks beautiful.
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.

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
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 foxes and hedgehogs for the win.

Han encountered bounty hunter Skorr on Ord Mantell - according to a Star Wars comic strip (here). Another reason to not include flashbacks in the saga films - is so that thye have content to fill their expanded universe.

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