    Having watched this in the theater yesterday, my preorder is officially canceled. Wish I'd never seen it. Wish I could unsee it.

    What? The movie was amazing. It took everything that was great about the original Alien and put it through crack. The movie was a giant HR Giger orgasm and that is what was so incredible about it.

    I thought Prometheus had great special effects, action scenes, and sound design. It fell short in story, plot, script, and acting. So basically it fell short in all of the most important areas. At least it played to it's strengths.

    My AMC theater now charges $15 for 3D pseudo-IMAX (the projectors are only 2K!) In hindsight, I will only pay that much for a big movie like the next Batman. I can buy a good Blu-ray movie for half the price of that ticket.

    Luckily, my brother just bought three X-Men movies that each had a $10 off Prometheus coupon on the face. That made it three tickets for $15.

    Oh I agree, the movie fell short on the character development, but come on, they are only there to be cannon fodder, why would you want to get to know the people that are going to die in an hour to 2 hours anyway?

    Oh, wow! What a disappointment that was. Not horrible, but still somewhat of a letdown for this massive Alien fanboy.

    You really need to see The Dark Knight Rises in a real IMAX theater. Not the crappy AMC LIEMAX.

    I saw Prometheus today and thought it was ok. I expected better. Nice effects & action scenes, but the story was definitely lacking.

    Cinemark's XD theatre blows IMAX out of the water. At least the one in Louisville, KY does.

    I doubt an XD theater matches up to a legit 60-70 ft tall IMAX theater.

    You're talking about a true stand alone IMAX theater. Do they even show mainstream movies on those? I'm talking about a theater that has been converted to IMAX. We have two of them in Louisville and they are both at Rave Motion Picture theaters. The Cinemark XD theater just opened in Louisville about a month or so ago and it dominates both of the Rave IMAX theaters here locally.

    I looked it up because I hadn't heard of XD (extreme digital). It can be up to 38 X 70 and they can play any movie on it, so I assume its some type of digital upscale that won't ever match the quality of the resolution of a movie shot on IMAX film and projected in a real IMAX theater.

    I can't speak for Louisville, but some theaters had the foresight to build theaters and also designed for a proper IMAX to be built, such as the ones I go to in Houston and Council Bluffs. They are both 70 foot tall theaters and they are phenomenal to put it mildly

    Yep, I love the Edwards Cinema at the Marque. That's where I'll see the Dark Knight Rises since a large portion of the movie was shot in IMAX.
