Excellent!!!

Though I will wait for the youtubes most likely.

I'm hoping I can avoid youtube, as I want to see it on the big screen. I'll know I'll be excited when I hear reviews online from it next weekend. Hopefully there won't be too many spoilers about it.

But I think it's forbidden to enter with camera, tablet, isn´t it?
security must be attentive at the entrance

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Of course it is forbidden and of course I would never do it.

But that doesn't stop people

 

[ralph]

Yes! Trekker is trekker.

Hopefully New Zealand gets the preview too. Only one IMAX screen here and I'm fortunate enough to be travelling to Auckland the weekend The Hobbit opens!

^ Best to check with your imax cinema. I didn't know about there being imax cinemas with hoyts, as I thought there was only one imax in Melbourne. Checked a few weeks ago. Not sure about the Sydney one either.

December 2008: "The three cinemas getting made over for IMAX goodness – Entertainment Quarter at Fox Studios in Sydney, Highpoint in Melbourne and Carousel in Perth – will all be bringing the IMAX experience on Boxing Day with the release of Keanu Reeves’ latest, The Day the Earth Stood Still. On top of that, the Hoyts cinemas will be showing typical IMAX documentaries, plus a selection of 3D entertainment, complete with stupid glasses...":

Sounds good; Highpoint is pretty close to me. I am not a big fan of IMAX screens - I saw a midnight screening of XI at the Melbourne IMAX cinema and it was really headache-inducing. I hope 3D doesn't make it even worse.
