    well considering i went to a 11:55am showing and we didnt think it would be so crowded so we got there only 20 minutes before it started and had crappy seats. and there was some old guy snoring next to me for 2/3 of the movie maybe that didnt help ;)

    Should have called in advance to get dimensions on the screen or scouted it out then if that guy wants to use that whiny ass retort.

    I'm with IMAX. Caveat emptor baby. You get pwned you get pwned.

    No. If you are forced to pay for IMAX prices, you should get the IMAX screen. It's not wrong to be upset afterwards and who in their right mind calls ahead to ensure the size of the screen?

    Do you call ahead every time you go out to ensure that you're getting what you paid for?

    I can't agree with this. It never occurred to me and I've never had the misfortune to end up in a 'regular sized' IMAX theater.

    Can you endorse going to a movie theater only to find the whole audience has to watch it on a 25" TV hooked up to a DVD player in the front of the room?

    How can you be "gigd" fair and square? That's like saying, "Man you sure cheated me but at least you did it fairly."

    I also find it hard to believe that if you bought a brand new fully loaded computer and opened it up to find a 1990 model inside that you wouldn't complain.

    Thats not legit. But those people who willingly bought PS3 boxes on Ebay as if they were real PS3s. Shame on them.

    What does that have to do with this? The theaters advertised this as an IMAX screen not as an IMAX-like screen. If you advertise it as an IMAX screen and it's not is that OK because you "gigd" the customer fairly?
