In a word - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kilroy]

Planning to go with the family (5 of us) to see this in Imax 3D hopefully on Thursday afternoon. Trying to get through to Silver City by phone is insane, but I want to know if there is any way to prepurchase tickets and if not how early do we need to arrive to be sure to all get in, and hopefully able to sit together.

Anyone have any idea?

[jvincent]

You can pre-purchase tickets from the Cineplex website for up to two weeks in advance. We did that for Star Trek in IMAX and it's the best way to do it.

Not sure how early you'll need to get there to sit together though. If Star Trek is any example we showed up about 90 minutes before show time to line up.

[fundonny]

They have preferred seating, we had our seats already assigned to us so we didn't have to get there early. It's like a sporting even now.

[Kilroy]

Purrrfect. We got the tickets.

Strange. When I googled Silver City the results lead me to the mobile page which is pretty sparse with no online booking.

Thanks for the help. Glad I asked.

How old is the family Dan? There's some violence that would probably cause some nightmares for kids a certain age.

[Kilroy]

My "kids" are 20 and 22! They cannot be shocked I assure you.

[fundonny]

LOL okay then. Also if someone is prone to motion sickness, might want to bring a just in case bag. Someone lost their dinner in the showing before mine last night.

Make sure you see the 3d version, it's awsome!!!

[Kilroy]

Imax 3d.

[fundonny]

Imax 3D, wouldn't have seen it any other way. Probably a good time to invest in Imax, that technology is going to revolutionize the movie industry.

[Kilroy]

I rarely go to theatres. Like a lot of people I find the TV at home these days more than sufficient for most movies. This will be my first of the new generation of theatre 3D. The fact that it's on Imax is a really sweet bonus. I am sure this will be worth the few extra $.

Better be careful, you don't have much to spare.

[bobblehead]

diss!!!

[fundonny]

do they give you 3D glasses?

Yes but if you have a big melon like me you'll find them a wee tight.

[Kilroy]

Absolutely brilliant. Nuff said.

Went in thinking that this flick had been overhyped but it definitely delivered the goods! Good story, great message and the 3d was awesome.

[fundonny]

Jordan, you're right about the story. Makes you think how crappy human beings treat this planet. Myself included of course.

My 6 year old son & I saw it, he had no problems with it. In fact he loved it, we both did. It was my 1st experience with IMAX 3d (or any of the new 3d tech movies) wow. I resisted the urge to reach out and grab stuff, but there were a few moments in that movie where I flinched.

[fundonny]

LOL I forgot that the next generation is desensitized to this stuff.

Went to see it last Fri...the theatre was packed. From the trailers...a few more 3D movies are coming and i heard a 3D TV will be next for Sony. I guess this will be the next trend.

[dbleber]

Saw it yesterday in 3D and it is awesome! Anyone going spend the extra bucks and watch it in 3D.

[Felix]

Sorry for my ignorance but where did you go see it in 3d

[Kilroy]

Silver City Gloucester has it in 3D Imax. Well worth the $13.75 ticket.

[Felix]

Thank You

Really goes to show that the movie studios need to do one thing, Put Up or Shut Up. They whine and complain about piracy sending them to the poor house, while continually putting out big steaming piles of crap. Then you look at lists like Silly put up and see that in the past two years there have been movies that have grossed over $1 Billion worldwide.

I'm still confused as to why it costs the same to see a movie like Avatar or Dark Knight, as it would to see a movie like Paul Blart: Mall Cop or All About Steve...

How is that movie on that list??
