    The big IMAX at the Scotiabank theatre put up showtimes for next week. Took a look at Wed the 19th and its fully scheduled all day but for their IMAX? Only one Mario showing at 3pm and nothing else in there the rest of the day. There's a possibility they're keeping it open for Picard because on the other days of the week, Mario plays in IMAX all day.

    Were these event screenings projected from real film back then?

    Well that was terrible. Tried to get tickets. Theater/showtimes wouldn’t even come up.

    IMAX???
    Is it only me who hates IMAX with a passion??
    Horrible sound and screen.....
    I have seen quite a few movies in different theaters, the sound is always stonehard and unpleasent.
    The screen looks odd and slightly unfocused...

    Oh well never mind....

    Maybe you just went to a bad setup.

    You probably went to a LIEmax theatre (not the full 1.43 aspect ratio) with old Xenon bulb projectors. Because a proper imax (laser/dual laser) is the best picture and sound bar none. Although I can understand it if it's too loud for some people, when I saw John Wick 4, the punches and gunshots shook the building with bass.

    It's not like they couldn't expect a lot of interest and couldn't prepare for that XD

    Site is working, though very slowly. Showings appear to be up. Non-Los Angeles showings appear to be at 6:15PM PT/9:15PM ET with livestream Q&A. Los Angeles is at 9PM PT (pre-taped Q&A).

    even when you get past the city selection, you then have to sign up, which crashes after entering all your info :brickwall:

    Maybe next time paramount can use a website you've actually heard of to handle these things.

    For people who could get on the site.
    Have they added any cities/theatres past the initial 10?
