Regal union square screenx6/7/2023 It is a little unclear how many offer the HFR (more on that at the end-I know this is complicated blame Cameron). This option is known as PLF (premium large format) in the biz, and Disney has confirmed there are 950 such screens domestically, 75% of them 3D. This option offers the more pristine picture and sound, often in a comfy auditorium with reclining seats, but with a wee upcharge. The next level down in grandeur would be 3D on a Dolby or RPX screen. I recall one particularly exhilarating shot of a Na’vi hair braid whipping across the screen before tangling with a sea monster.Ī Disney rep confirmed to VF that there are 400 IMAX 3D auditoriums in the US and Canada ready to take you to Pandora on opening weekend. Regarding the 3D, my personal experience was so overwhelmed by the newness of variable HFR that the 3D was something of an afterthought. You’ll get all the size and all the depth, and if the theater near you shows true IMAX (not LieMAX), you are bound for glory. (Though putting words in the King of the World’s mouth is a fool’s errand.)īut there are other options for seeing The Way of Water, and one’s a literal biggie: IMAX. One would surmise that director James Cameron himself signed off on allowing the press to view it this way, so a case can be made that this is his preferred experience. Thus far, members of the press who have seen the movie in major markets, with most (but not all) having liked it, did so in Dolby 3D HFR. Yes, by all means, get thee to the cinema and return to the gorgeous fantasy realm of Pandora, where cerulean bipeds save on gas by riding winged beasts for transport, but the question remains: Just how should you see this film? As it turns out, there are many options when it comes to format for this movie, some complicated, but here are the ways of water. (Yes, your grandmother was named Mabel.) For wise consumers looking to see Avatar: The Way of Water (and, by all accounts, it looks as if there will be many doing so on opening weekend), it’s not quite that simple. This is how your grandparents decided on seeing a movie back in the day. “Mabel, let’s you and I go to the pictures, whaddya say?”
