DLP Theaters???

I'm not a very good when it comes to the technical part of Star Wars, but I know they're making a huge deal out of the digitally projected thing. I was looking at a list of DLP theaters, and there isn't one in Colorado. Will this take away from the whole 'digital' experience? Or will it look the same as it will on a digital theater. I really have no clue, can anyone clear this whole digital mess up for me?

Thanks,

As a graphics type, I can tell you that for the most part, your eyes won't be able to tell the difference unless you were watching both versions on side-by-side screens. That's why I use dual monitors when I'm working out my animations....one will be CGI and one is a 3DS, which is fuzzier, but gives a more realistic appearance, whereas the CGI is usually very stark and clear unless altered.

 

Thanks, kitarusapien ! So does that mean seeing AOTC in a regular theater vs a DLP theater won't make that much difference?

I dont know all I know is I'm going to go nuts when I see it.

 

AGREED!!!

I really, honestly don't believe that you'll know there is a difference until you see it at a DLP theatre, and even then I'd be suprised if you reported back seeing a substantial visual difference. It's just that they sink so much tech and time into a DLP production, that they want the audience to get as much out of it as possible, but the reality is that unless everything about the theatre/projectors, screens, position of the viewer is just right, the differences are not clearly evident.

 

Awesome. Thanks again!

I'm interested to see if they'll produce the big 70mm version for the IMAX screens. I know that X-Men & LOTR @ Colorado Center on the IMAX I went a little nuts from the feeling of being in the movie while it's playing.

tim: you actually have a legal copy of 3DSM?! How much did that cost you?

 

Did I say that....musta been dreamin'!

 

Wow, is LotR still playing at that IMAX?

 

No they're currently showing Beauty and the Beast in actual IMAX.

 

I did get to see LOTR there on the IMAX screen. It was definitely the way to go. BTW you look really familiar.

 

I'm thinkin' parallel universes!

 

We both have beards, we can't BOTH be the evil twin!

 

Wow, that's cool. Who knew changing your icon was retroactive?

 

One hooded, the other not...what's the problem?!
