Do none of yis get something like the Cineworld Unlimited card? €20 a month to see as many films as you want where it can be that much for a single IMAX screening alone. 3D and IMAX are a bit extra but I rarely go to those. I usually see at least 5 films a month with it.

It's a great deal. There's a similar one where I live but it blocks IMAX and 3D so I don't use it.
I'd gladly pay the extra few quid though.

I've never seen an IMAX screening. I thought it was just a bigger screen or does it give you a handjob while you watch?

It's a handjob for your eyes.

Some movies are more suited than others. And it depends on how much you like movie-going in the first place.

If you think watching Lawrence Of Arabia, for example, is the same at home or in the cinema, don't spend the extra on IMAX

Proper IMAX is a waayyyyy bigger screen (70ft tall and more than the human field of view can take in), at a different aspect ratio, with better sound.

"fake" digital IMAX (which is what we get here in Dublin) is a bigger than usual screen, different aspect ratio, better sound. For the right kind of film it's amazing - Gravity being the obvious one.

I saw The Dark Knight Rises in the "Largest Screen In The World" at Sydney's Darling Harbour IMAX and it was on another level altogether.

I'd say it's worth it for films like Gravity.

A personal preference though.

I might go see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes there. Looking forward to that badboy most out of the summer blockbusters

The Rover is out here next week. Guy Pierce battering scumbags in a post apocalyptic Australia. Yes please. Good beard action too.

I'm expecting much worse than the first one. Trailer didn't excite me at all

Yeah.
This is kind of Nikita remixed with Limitless.

Seems like a Saturday morning job for me.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Just had a look at the film release schedule and there’s shite all good films out this week either.

Exactly. And neither is bad.

In spite of my earlier moaning about cinema going I'm strangely tempted by Belle.

Prince won't shut up about that film. Keeps tweeting about it and even played the UK premiere. There's a fair chance that if you go he'll be there.
