So how can you tell the difference of what the theaters have to offer? I would love to see Avatar on a true IMAX screen....where might I find one locally?

Use this map to find your local IMAX screens.

If you're 2.4 miles from Disneyland then the IMAX screen at the Irvine Spectrum is a true IMAX screen. GardenWalk is not.

Thanks Alex....Irvine Spectrum is where we'll go then.

While we have a plethora of real (and fake) IMAX theaters in the area, it's a four and a half hour drive to the closest one playing Avatar. I had to settle for a standard multiplex 3D theater. Ba humbug.

Huge weekend numbers!
$75 mil for Avatar
$65 mil for Sherlock
$50 mil for Alvin
$22 mil for It's Complicated

Wow!

That list includes the GardenWalk one, called "CinemaFusion IMAX Anaheim Resort". I wouldn't trust the map.

We saw The Princess & the Frog today. Yes, we're late.

I think this is the movie I've been waiting for all year. Wonderful. Loved it. Congratulations to Disney Feature Animation and welcome back.

You have to go by the color codes. Yellow bad. Blue good.

Should I feel ashamed that, as I sat in the theater today watching the 3D trailers in front of Avatar, I actually clapped my hands and said 'Yes!" out loud at the prospect of Piranha 3D? Well, I should, but I don't. I'm so completely psyched. I just hope it's as lively an exploitation flick as the trailer makes it out to be. The Joe Dante original is a personal fave, certainly the most entertaining of the Jaws rip-offs that followed in that film's immediate wake.
