How many times have you seen "Reloaded"? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Tabitha · 27th May 2003, 02:47 AM

I keep seeing mentions of how people have seen this four or more times (yes, I'm looking at YOU, pkgrl!)

Just the once so far for me, but it certainly requires at least another two or three views before November.

I've seen in once thus far. Hoping to see it at least a few more times!

cersei · 27th May 2003, 06:00 AM

Twice now but its only been in U.K. 6 days and I have been on-call at evenings this week too :P

plan to see it at least one more time and possibly 2 more

After all, I did see first one 4 times in cinema (and millions on DVD hehe)

I've seen it three times, and plan to see it at least once more when it's released on IMAX.

pkgrl · 7th June 2003, 04:14 AM

I'm up to seven times now... as of June 3... and will definately see the IMax version (just as soon as I can get my friends organized)!

I tried to warn you...

any ideas when IMAX release is? particularly in U.K.?

All I found is this:

Latest News:

UK release dates for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions have not yet been confirmed. Details will be posted here as soon as the screening dates are confirmed.

some IMAX news I found on net :

By BRUCE KIRKLAND -- Toronto Sun
TORONTO -- The Matrix Reloaded just got bigger, sharper and even more
spectacular. The IMAX verion of Larry and Andy Wachowski's controversial
science-fiction film is being released today at the seven Famous
Players IMAX theatres across Canada, including three in the Toronto area.

The IMAX treatment does not make Reloaded any smarter: If you already
despise the film in its regular 35-mm form -- as many Toronto Sun
readers and e-mailers do -- then the Wachowski's pop-culture
philosophizing, loose-ends plotting and extended fight-scenes will still
drive you nuts.

But if you think the film is provocative fun -- as many other readers
obviously do in their endorsement of my gung-ho review -- then this new
format enhances the experience.

IMAX, a Canadian invention, is renowned for documentaries shot on large-format
film stock with frames 10 times larger than 35-mm. Combined with the
most stable projection in cinema, viewers are guaranteed a much sharper
image with far more detail seen on screen. The aural experience is also
pumped up with 12,000 watts of quality sound.

Since 2002, IMAX has been converting 35-mm films into the equivalent of
true IMAX. This is different from projecting 35-mm films in an IMAX
theatre, where the results are usually disappointing because the image
gets fuzzy and warped.

Technically, Reloaded might be IMAX's best effort so far. The detail
revealed in the re-mastered IMAX format is astounding, from the moon-crater
pores on Laurence Fishburne's face to the intricacies of the mechanics
of the city of Zion.

IMAX also enhances flaws. If a hair or dust particles contaminate the
print, they are distractingly large when projected on screen. Inside the
film itself, systemic flaws are also magnified, such as awkward colour
shifts from one dimension to another. An example comes when Neo (Keanu
Reeves) first meets the Oracle (the late Gloria Foster). In IMAX, when
he goes through the door to her "reality" in the grotty urban park, the
special effects of the transition look fake.

In contrast, sequences such as the entire highway demolition chase look
even better, more believable. Overall, the eye candy of The Matrix
Reloaded is simply staggering.

i have seen it 6 times here in the USA and plan on going several more while it is out

:rolly2:

pkgrl · 8th June 2003, 06:15 PM

The only information I have is that it was released in IMax in the US on 6/6. I'll probably be seeing it with friends on the 22nd, 28th, or 29th. Depends on how our schedules mesh.

As for UK releases, just found this on www.imax.com.

Hope that helps.

Geez. Wonder if I'll be able to wait that long to see Reloaded again. I might have to go next weekend just to keep from getting strung out. :errrr:

stripes · 9th June 2003, 09:17 PM

I think I hold the record for seeing it once.

timdgreat · 9th June 2003, 10:28 PM

yeah stripes iw will be hard to catch up with u

:rolly2:

stripes · 10th June 2003, 01:51 AM

Hmmm, I didn't think it would be possible.

timdgreat · 12th June 2003, 10:40 PM

well ill certainly try

:rolly2:

pkgrl · 13th June 2003, 03:34 AM

HEHEHEHE

Friend of mine came up to me today and said, "hey, I have something for you..." and it was a

sssshhhhhhhhh

bootleg version of Reloaded.

So I'm going to watch the rest of it now. And I was right in the Reloaded quiz. The first word is "See."

timdgreat · 15th June 2003, 05:52 PM

oh im so jealous i want one too

, just dont have the ability to get it

oh ur way to lucky:rolly2:

pkgrl · 16th June 2003, 01:25 AM

Hey, don't think for a second that I got to keep it. :angry: He just let me borrow it overnight. If I was a comptent computer owner/user I would have copied it, but since that would have taken more time than I had to spend... I just watched it.

I was a very happy camper in either case.

Still planning on the IMAX trip next weekend. Huge Keanu, huge Carrie-Anne, huge jaw on Laurence Fishburn!

Whoa!
