Anyone going to see the re-release in theaters?


Plan on going next week since my local arthouse theater is showing it.

I watched the 4k restoration last month, and it's a fabulous restoration. What did you think? Had you seen the film before?

I saw it last week at my local art house theater. 4k restoration looked great. It was my 2nd time seeing it, but it has been close to 15 years since watching it last. Only downside was my cinema put it on their smallest screen.

It was on a pretty good-sized screen. This was the third time I've been able to watch it in a theater, and it never disappoints.

On Monday I'm seeing the 4k restoration of Lawrence of Arabia. I've only seen that once in my life-- on a 70mm curved screen in an old-fashioned dome theater that no longer exists. THAT was amazing. I hope Cinemark plays it in 70mm. I know the theater I'm seeing it at has one 70mm screen... fingers crossed that's where they're playing it!
