Question for Divine as he obviously knows this stuff pretty well.

I saw the film in a preview screening at the Odeon in Oxford and was pretty impressed by the 3D effect despite being close to the far left hand side of the auditorium.

Last week I went to see it again at the IMAX in Cardiff for a friends birthday and was sat in almost the same place – far left hand side. To begin with I’m certain the 3D effect was not as good as at the Odeon. The image was blurry and the foreground didn’t pop out in the same way. After about 20 minutes the image sharpened up again and I assumed it was just a trick of my brain or my eyes adjusting.

After the film both my friends agreed that the first 20 minutes had seemed blurry. We spoke to one of the ushers and they assured us it was impossible for the image to be out of focus because the two projectors were continually laser aligned during the screening and it was just our eyes adjusting. We responded that the trailers seemed fine, and my eyes hadn’t needed to adjust the first time I saw it. No free tickets, boo

So can an IMAX setup be misaligned? Or did we all imagine it?

Or was you actually somewhere else for those 20 minutes Alien abduction maybe?

Hopefully I'm going to see it this afternoon which should be fun.

I hated 3d films years ago, it was gimicky and not worth it. I went to see A Christmas Carole a few weeks back and realised things had really moved on since those times.

That's what I'm banking on. I'm sure things have improved drastically since the last 3D experience I had (admittedly, that was 70s porn mags with those red and blue cardboard glasses, lol).
