Llyod,
In your criticism of film you site wear as a concern, for me that is a non issue.
I always go opening night to get the best film prints.
I saw Spiderman on film opening night on a 70' wide screen and it was awesome. Digital projection on a 70' wide screen would almost certainly show line structure.
I saw Fantasia projected digitally and sat about halfway back in a large auditorium and I could see pixels from my seat on bright scenes. I immediately knew I was watching video and it bugged me the rest of the movie.
What size of screen (width Wise) did you see Spy Kids on?

And if you're going to the movie to see a story, not to determine whether or not a pixel has the appropriate sharpness, you won't notice the difference until someone with analysis equipment shows up to tell you what you didn't notice. |
This quote scares me the most. To me it is like saying why buy DVD when you can still watch the movie on VHS and still appreciate the story.
I do plan to go see it digitally on Sunday. Albeit on a smaller screen than what I saw on film last night. I will report back my honest findings. Even though the digital version comes out of the gate with a distinct advantage.
Maybe DLP has gotten alot better in the almost 2 years since I saw it last.
They just finished installation on the one in Wichita about a week ago. So it should be state of the art and top of the line.
