Attack of the Really Big Clones

An anonymous reader writes "CNN reports that Attack of the Clones is coming to an IMAX theatre near you. 50 IMAX commercial venues, and 20-30 science museum sites will begin showing the film on November 1. The IMAX version is expected to add another $20M to the films current $300M take."

then why come here? *click*

Great...

[Noofus]

So Jar Jar is now going to be a BIG pain in the ass instead of just a 'pain in the ass'. Whats next - giant tribbles?

A Dream Come True

Finally...I can completely immerse myself in the sickly sweet meadow scene.

And watch Yoda bounce and skitter across the heads of the audience down in front.

Some of the more grandiose, expansive scenes will come out nicely though. These are what IMAX does best. The droid factory, the clone factory, and the city chase will be especially striking.

I hear they have sex in real life now.

I fail to see how blowing up the image and putting me a lot closer to it is going to make it any easier to watch anakin explain to the senator how her skin isn't like sand.

I have a feeling it'd have the opposite effect.

Now maybe if they just took the last 20 minutes of the movie and put it on replay for an hour and half they'd be on to something.

That's no moon,

It's a pixel the size of your head!

I may not even give Blockbuster my $2.99 when it comes out for rent.

And that will only be 11 days later [amazon.com].

For those who don't live near an Imax theatre, might I suggest this as an alternative buy the DVD [amazon.com], then sit two feet from the TV while you play it wearing headphones. If that isn't realistic enough, then invite a couple of teenage fan boys over to talk during the movie.

Then again, who can really complain about a 40' tall Natalie Portman?

In other news...

[AntiNorm]

Slashdot decides that it likes the MPAA after all.

Question:

Will it still suck?

Re:International version?

[VivianC]

Who do I have to beat up with a light saber to get it to Europe (Denmark)?

Don't worry. I'm sure the DivX version will be on the P2P networks in a matter of hours after the first show.

Re:Not to be a troll...

[Baikala]

Yea, I do...
Well, Nataly Portman wold have somthing to do too.

I could. What fun is it when the notion of "probing" Portman with your "lightsaber" really involves a wetsuit and a flashlight?

Totally.

[Captain_Stupendous]

Just my quick two cents: I totally agree. MBFGW was a thousand times better than that cereal-pushing, merchandise-spawning, whiny-Canadian-Ptretty-Boy-Starring multi-million dollar fiasco.

That said, I'm still going to see Episode 3

I mean, come on. It's STAR WARS, people!

Look out!

Attack of the really whiny bitches.
