The Dark Knight

i think for the first time in awhile im actually anticipating a movie. usually i'm perfectly content to let the date come around when i'll be seeing a film, but i'm actually a bit impatient.

I was fortunate enough to see the film last week at an exhibitor screening. Over at another forum I posted some very broad *spoiler free* thoughts about the film. Anyone have any interest in reading them here?

If they contain spoilers or any hints of spoilers, no. At least not until the movie comes out for the rest of us schlubs.

Yeah, they're spoiler free and just that, broad statements.

Batman: Gotham Knight comes out tomorrow. It looks amazing, and it takes place within this movie's universe. Can't wait to watch it myself.

I wanted to see this opening weekend in IMAX, but tix are basically sold out for every showing in every IMAX theater, unless you want to sit in the very front on one of the far sides. This sucks. I wish someone had told me they'd go on sale three weeks in advance.

For what it's worth about not being able to see it IMAX due to the sell outs so far in advance, this popped up in a paragraph over at Anne Thompson's blog on Variety:

Finally, I would have preferred to see The Dark Knight in 35 mm, not IMAX. (I will go see it again when it opens July 18.) While the sequences that were shot with giant cameras were stunning at the IMAX venue--especially the deep detailed helicopter shots over Gotham and the amazing car/truck chase filmed in Chicago's freeway tunnels--I found the movie overwhelming.

When I saw the film it was also in standard 35mm and it was just as engrossing, that said, IMAX would've been great, but 35mm was suffice.
