Batman Begins @ London IMAX

So its not quite Star Wars, but it *is* showing full screen at the bfi IMAX.....

How do people feel about a London meet to see the new Batman?

We can spend the whole evening comparing it to ROTS - it'd be great

edit: thread title changed at Raj_Vader's request

 

You're making me wish I was in London Raj!

I'm seeing it at Manchester's IMAX on Friday 17th. Of course now they're doing preview showings on Thursday I'm tempted! I can't make Manchester IMAX, but my local cinema is showing previews as well....

Right now I'm gonna wait. IMAX is digital and a massive screen. Plus I've waited this long one more day shouldn't hurt. But if I'm sat bored on Thursday night my local cinema may just tempt me....

 

haha - it'd be nice if I could get the film name right....!

In my defence, I posted at some stupid hour in the morning when I should have been revising....! OK - crap defence

EDIT: Thanks Jairen

 

I'd be interested in going, but what date did you have in mind??

I will be seeing it on the 16th locally, but being a HUGE Batman fan and knowing that this film could be brilliant, I'm more then happy to see it again

 

Anyone know when/where the premiere is? I figured it would be monday but not sure.

 

It would be nice to see it in the IMAX
I've been there many times, a wonderful place it is

 

I was also wondering about the premiere. I haven't heared anything about it yet but Monday would be my guess to. Sorry I can't be of any more help with that.

I'm sometimes not sure about seeing a widescreen film at IMAX because it gets cropped to hell, but it is a different expereince and not one you get that often. I saw Matrix Reloaded at the BFI IMAX and that was pretty good, so this should be even better

 

Anyone know when/where the premiere is?

The premiere is this Sunday, June 12, at Odeon Leics Sq

A good source for when premieres are happening in London is

http://www3.westminster.gov.uk/events/forthcoming.cfm

Worth bookmarking that page.

Heres the upcoming info from there --

12 Jun - Film Premiere of 'Batman Begins'. - At the Odeon Leicester Square.

19 Jun - Film Premiere of 'War of the Worlds'. - At the Odeon, Leicester Square.

03 Jul - Film Premiere of 'Madagascar'. - Cinema to be confirmed.

04 Jul - Film Premiere of 'The Wedding Crasher'. - At the Odeon West End, Leicester Square.

17 Jul - Film Premiere of 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory'. - In the Odeon Cinema, Leicester Square.

18 Jul - Film Premiere of 'The Fantastic Four'. - Cinema to be confirmed.

 

Thanks for the info wayne- top man!

 

No problem. I only found that page this year. Very useful to get confirmed dates in advance. I used to take a guess when the premieres were going to be, and give the cinemas a call. But they're not always on the obvious dates - as can see from that list, sometimes some prems can be more in advance than others.

Theres nothing worse than watching breakfast news and seeing a report from a big premiere that happened the night before, but we as fans didn't even know about it. But with that page its now easy to get some advance info.

 

Wow - I thought this thread had died

Well I've got exams until the 27th June, so ideally any time after that?

 

I would agree
I have exams until the 24th of June

 

Cool - how are people for weekdays? Or would you rather it be a weekend?

 

Weekdays are probably better for me actually, but I could also make it during a weekend too.
Just let me know when a good date comes up and I'll see what I can do. Good luck with your final exams too!

 

Fantastic, well then I'd like to propose 28th, 29th or 30th June - Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

The timings for Batman Begins are: 1:45, 6:00, 9:00.

...let the negotiations commence

The film runs for 134 minutes, so if we go for the 9:00 showing, we'll all be rushing to grab the last tube at 11:34.

We could do the 6:00 showing, have a meal and leave at our leisure.....

... or the 1:45 showing, grabbing a Pizza Hut buffet before it, and then heading down to Leicester Square for ROTS after it ...... for comparison purposes only of course

 

Count me in, 29th or 30th for me

 

good good - lets say either: -

29th June (Wednesday) @ 1.45 OR 6:00
30th June (Thursday) @ 1.45 OR 6:00

Tickets are £11 (NUS/ISIC card) or £12.50 (what a discount! )

 

I should be able to attend then
I'll look into it

 

Excellent! Hey, if there still isn't a CR elected by then we can hold a presidential-style debate....

 

If we must

 

If the CR is elected, we could use this meet to incorporate the new CR's inauguration.

 

haha! I'll bring the mace....

 

i believe he is limbless now

 

clever Vader

 

Anyone got a Batman mask?
