Thats because a regular theater makes the best looking movies look like crap. I saw this movie @ IMAX on a digital projection. It looked and sounded AMAZING. I also saw Spidey 3 @ IMAX and the next day saw Next on regular theaters. The picture at a regular theater is nothing compared to digital HD goodness.

Well, if it's any comfort, there are Hi-Def trailers for this on Xbox Live and even at only 720p they look bloody superb!

I'm confident these hi-def releases will do the film justice, and remember this is a highly stylised film so all the disc can do is be truthful to how it's supposed to look. If you like the style of the film then, unless it's a bad transfer, you should be happy with the HD presentation.

Will order it in September because I leaving Sweden for Thailand for one month. Otherwise I would have pre-order it already (if it were available anywhere...).

I think you're a little confused about the IMAX process. It's a very large film print, and not digital projection as there is no digital projector that could faithfully recreate the size of IMAX without seeing scan lines/individual pixels as of now, afaik. And I also saw it on IMAX and could not stop thinking from opening to the end titles about how damn grainy it was.

Looks to be an exciting release, as I stated before could care less about pic in pic.

This is exciting news!! I will more likely pick up the blu ray version. Since my PS3 is faster loading than my HD-A1!! God that's the only bad thing about the hd dvd player it is slow as hell!!
Mischa.

I only wish I had a larger screen TV....

[gamer4eva]

i reckon warner r gonna fuck the BD version again

[illegalprelude]

yea, i wonder how much the Blu-ray version is gonna get the shaft by. Maybe we will only get the Audio or just the video with no Audio?

After seeing this movie at the IMAX with my son, I was relieved I bought the 60'' instead of the 46'' Sony TV. A small screen just does not do it justice. Nothing against anyone owning a 46'', it's just that if you really want to get the full effect of what 1080p has to offer, it's best to go 55'' or more. Especially with this movie. I might buy the hd dvd version for the u-control.
