You guys ever been to a digital cinema?

I don't think I've seen one in Scotland. Anyone pleased with the quality then? I was in the US and a few cinemas had a digital option. However it did cost a few dollars more for the privelige.

Oh I tell a lie, IIRC Donnie Darko DC was screened digitally in Edinburgh.

Nope. Roger Ebert was complaining a few years ago about the quality of the picture. I can't comment, though, since I haven't seen one.

Yeah! Got to see SWEPIII in Digital... it was great. :D That's one of 2 flicks to be shown digitally here though... which is sad as my local Cinema has the worlds best (and Europes FIRST 4k) digital projector.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

In Cologne, (the city I live in) there is the main theatre people usually go to (15 huge ass cinema rooms) and they get digital versions of every film where one exists. So they're pretty cool in my opinion. On the other hand, the original cinema flair gets kinda lost.

:( no

And the way things are going its never going to catch on and they will keep wasting cash making ridiculously expensive prints which look like crap after a few watches :( a few films I seen latley the prints were a joke! I would rather see it at home than see degraded crappy prints with scratches and pops in the sound. :roll: and idiots in the cinema :roll: and people going to the toilet every 5 minutes!

Thinking about it cinema really does suck latley and most the films I have seen latley have been ruined by the crowds! :evil:
