Hey folks, Harry here... IMAX is joining the rest of the world with it's STAR WARS mania. Yoko was just telling me about the COFFEE MATE Star Wars flavors - and that VADER mate sounds sinful as all hell! With all the fun going around - and that TIE FIGHTER APOCALYPSE NOW shot - I want to encourage everyone to think of Luke Skywalker as Kurtz of a different variety. You'll see.
Now - just so you know - if you want to see this as JJ shot it - there are very few actual IMAX venues that'll be doing it perfectly - and here they are:
The following theatres will be playing Star Wars: The Force Awakens in IMAX 2D on IMAX 15/70mm film projection (please note this list is subject to change):
