Well, I don't know about laser projectors, but one of my local AMC theaters is getting the "Prime" upgrade.

Look out for "Dolby Cinema" in AMC's new Prime, then. It's a collaboration between AMC and DOLBY.

It's essentially laser projection, HDR screens (that are like the difference between HD and SD), Dolby Atmos sound and fully reclinable chairs in a more fancy and "kingdom-like" theater.

Here you go:

Yeah, I know what they look like. I just didn't know the technical stuff. Looks like I'll be seeing Star Wars, BvS, CW, etc. in both IMAX and Prime.

I'll be seeing Star Wars first.

What?

There’s been plenty of talk at this week’s CinemaCon about the potential of bright laser projection, and for Imax, it's part of a dazzling new Imax theatrical system aimed at eventually replacing its 15/70mm film footprint.

"The good news is that in some cases it responds better than film, he continued: [While they’re different mediums] we’re trying to replace film to the extent that that’s possible.”

“Virtually everything we have will be released for laser; We are going to master our films [separately for] laser," he added. That includes upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron and Tomorrowland.

In additional to studio releases, Imax plans to use the added creative palette of its laser-based system for additional titles, including a space-related film that it’s working on with Disney for a 2016 release.

Meh. I don't care anymore about this whole digital vs. film thing. I mean, I will always love film. But movies now look different than they did 10 years ago, so it doesn't matter if film looks better. Movies always have a certain look to them in each decade. Films in the 70s looked classier, films in the 80s looked cheaper, and now we have to move forward in order for this decade or the next to have their own identities. I still wish they stop shooting with 2K cameras and keep film optional though.

I haven't cared about the debate since, well, ever. Digital and film are nothing more than a format. A bad movie in film will always be bad, and vice versa. Same thing with digital.

That said, seeing Laser projection starting to become the standard projection that is, apparently, even better than 70mm Film projection, well, I gotta geek it out!! 8)
