I'm going to see a film tonight, and we have the option of normal cinema or IMAX
Is IMAX worth paying the extra for over a good, big normal screen, or is it distracting?

The film is Transformers 2, in case you wish to snort derisorily and try to recommend something you've seen and think is better.

Depends where you sit.
I sat on the front row of the IMAX for Star Trek and it was a very peculiar experience.

I would recommend watching it from the middle.

Also, I've already made my thoughts on Transformers 2 perfectly clear.

Noted.

The fact that you chose to sit at the front proves you are head wrong.
Mid to back is clearly the best seating area, the superiour acoustics in combination with not having to strain your neck for the length of the film makes it a far more enjoyable experience.

Quite clearly this is truth.

(I helped save b3ta! Jobe, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:48, archived)
why do they even have seats at the front in cinemas?

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 13:00, archived)
even if they put the first row a mile away from the screen
it would still be the front.

1. I have never been to an IMAX
B. It's not as good as the first one, and I got confused as to which were the good robots and which were the bad ones. Megan Fox though provides two very very good reasons to see the film.

I'm going to watch Public Enemies.
I mentioned it a bit further down the page. I've never seen an IMAX film.

don't sit at the front of the cinema
I saw 300 on IMAX in the front row, spent 2 hours looking up actors' noses

and the parallax makes it look like they have HUGE chins. Sit near the back.

How much extra is it?
Because I saw The Dark Knight in IMAX, and the difference wasn't overly astounding.
(I helped save b3ta! WHARRGARBL, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:39, archived)
£7.95 vs £5.90

(thediscokingpin, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:42, archived)
I'd just pay the normal price.
But then again, I'm cheap.
(I helped save b3ta! WHARRGARBL, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:43, archived)
Me too, thats why I wanted to know if there was added value.

Only been to one IMAX in my life
sitting near the front gives you motion sickness

first time I went was to see an IMAX 3D demonstration
now that was vomit-inducing
(I helped save b3ta! Gilgamesh gazed in wonder as Frampton came alive, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:43, archived)
It was that docu-drama about Shackleton I saw
the opening scene of the helecopter was like being in an aircraft simulator

Money dosn't grow on trees,.
Not at any of my 3 houses, anyway ;)
(thediscokingpin, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:45, archived)
haha £2.05
jog on
(I helped save b3ta! rosalicious i fucking love youve been framed, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:47, archived)
For some people £2.05 is the difference between eating for a couple of days and going hungry

(I helped save b3ta! Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:51, archived)
i doubt those people would be debating the cinema or imax

(I helped save b3ta! rosalicious i fucking love youve been framed, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 12:53, archived)
A rich man once told me 'you don't get rich by giving it away'. £2.05 is a pint.
