How much does it cost to go to an Imax?  There are no prices listed on the website of my local one.

wait a sec, isn't you local Imax the same as mine used to be.. if so: http://www.imax.ac/page.asp?section=40&sectionTitle=Prices+and+Booking

Thanks, Sam - I couldn't find it when I looked.

Eight quid doesn't seem particularly expensive - it's only £2 more than a standard cinema ticket and £1 more than a luxury ticket.

Was it all in IMAX?  On the BluRay, bits of it are, and the aspect ratio keeps changing, but you don't notice after a while.

well I didn't notice any problems, they said certain scenes were recorded for Imax.. so maybe that's where the problem comes from on the bluray...

I've been on that website a number of times, the better half used to work in the planetarium at the thinktank... and nah £8 is about as much as you'd pay as a proper adult for the cinema - I'm just getting used to that and not liking it. It's actually even more expensive over here, oh well.. Scotiabank gave me a bunch of freebies so I can't moan and we get films sooner than you :p

It wasn't really a 'problem', just a bit of an oddity, and the IMAX scenes were stunning!
