Something has yet to occur to me about the upcoming Batman flick until today. Why not see it at the IMAX? Come to think about it, why am I not seeing more movies at the IMAX? For me, the closest IMAX theater is about 45 minutes away in Seattle. Thats not too bad of a drive, and I’m sure I could come up with some other things to do in the city as driving there just for a movie might be a little crazy with todays obscene gas prices and my 17 miles per gallon.

The Dark Knight- July 18th

If you have never seen a feature movie in an IMAX theater, you could probably bet that The Dark Knight would be a good show to start with. The first feature film I saw (and the only one I can remember seeing) was The Matrix: Revolutions and I remember being blown away. The clarity was amazing, and it was before stadium seating had become more mainstream (where your row of seats is much higher than the one in front of you, eliminating the chances of having a persons head right in your viewing area).

The price of an IMAX movie isn’t much more than a normal priced movie, at least here in the Seattle area. A normal (say, 6pm) movie is priced at $8.75, and an IMAX movie is $10.25. True, it’s no cheap date, but as long as you aren’t seeing ALL of the summers movies on IMAX, then its somewhat reasonable.

Check out Film School Rejects for a list of IMAX theaters near you, and then start booking now if you want to see it opening day (July 18th). Tickets here are already sold out for the “normal” times, but there are still tickets available for 3AM and 6AM (/end sarcasm).
