Imax is listing the run time of the 9/21 release as 144, which adds 4 mintues of cut scenes to the one that many of us loved.

Are you going?

I would be if the only IMAX within half a million miles of me hadn't just closed down. Wah!

I would go if I there was an IMAX where I lived.

Nope. The drive isn't worth it.

i was always wanting to watch it on imax ever since it was released and someone told me it was ALREADY showing on imax.... when he told me this, i was already planning on going to watch it on imax, which turned out to be false.... but now that the imax release is official, im for sure gonna go watch it.... and think of the extra 4 minutes of footage as a bonus

I'll be going.

only if those 4 minutes involve the autobots, decepticons, or the final battle.

i won't bother to see 4 extra minutes of Sam trying to get an A+ out of his teacher from the beginning.

No. Four minutes of extra footage isn't enough of an incentive to get me to go to an Imax theater. The camera was shaky enough, I don't need to see it in that massive scale and then lose my lunch all over the floor. I watched an Imax movie once ("The Ring Of Fire") and I about spewed then. It was impressive, don't get me wrong, but it sure was...oof.

I'll wait for the DVD. Or if they release this extra four minutes at a standard theater, then I'll go.

I will go even if there wasn't an extra 4 minutes. The movie is just that good.

I'd go to watch all the people get motion sickness.

Although I'm sure that all the motion Blur would look even worse on an Imax screen.

I'll go, even if it didn't have the 4 minutes. But I thought what you said was funny. When I was like 10 or so, my dad took me to the USAF museum's newly opened Imax. We saw either The Dream is Alive or To Fly, can't remember which one was first, but they do a lot of aerobatics in it, and it was suprisingly unsettling. You start to feel like the whole room moves with you and that you're actually upside down during some of the stunt flying.

Yes! Exactly! They did a lot of aerial shots of Hawaii and the region with the camera panning up and down, zooming in and out and by the end of it, I was clutching the arm of my seat just hoping my stomach would slide back down my throat.

Ooof...

Sounds about right. Did the one you see have a plane diving down and playing chicken with a train and then suddenly pull up only to have you chewing on breakfast?

The other one I saw had space scenes, and that was pretty horrifying too. Orbiting earth on mega-screen was indeed ooof..

>_< No. Thank you for the mental image. You suck!

And oddly enough, the space one was what I wanted to see. Ring Of Fire scared the wits out of me...especially knowing it does happen. (Earthquakes and Volcano eruptions for uninformed.)

Why bother, the extra 4 minutes will end up on youtube or the DVD anyway. Besides, I bet the 4 minutes of footage won't really add to the movie anyway.

I feel it's not worth it. Depends on what the 4 minutes are abt. If it's 4 more minutes of Sam talking to Mikeala, Sam trying to sell his stuff, the S7 folks yapping, definitely no.

Dude, I am so there, 4 extra minute or not. Lucky me, I live in Houston and there are IMAX screen damn near everywhere >_>

What's the average ticket price these days for IMax? Because the local chain cinema here charges 9.50 for movies anyway, unless you go to a matinee of course. So compare that to (someone insert IMax price here) and there's a good basis. I saw the movie twice at 9.50 on "small" screen, so if IMax is even close to that and how many times bigger screen? 8-10? I'm there.

It's about nine by me, and I hope it's footage with the robots, not with the humans. I know one seen with the guy dieing is probaby going to be in there. I just wish they would pan up to Prime and Megs when they're saying their lines. Sam in a ditch...um...no.

geez, only 4 mins more? well i'd still go cause i've never had the IMAX experience. also gives me an excuse to get out of my hot house and sit in a nice cool theatre for a few hours.
