You also had to wait almost a year before the VHS version to come out.

Wow, this really sucks but it appears Raiders of the Lost Ark will NOT be playing in either Calgary or Edmonton after all. If you check the showtimes next week, Raiders is not going to be shown. While some Canadian cities will be receiving it in Imax for the week, for some reason Alberta is getting the shaft and will not be getting it.
This really pisses me off as I was really looking forward to seeing it. Especially considering the lack of quality releases on the horizon.
What a joke.

Perhaps the websites are simply not up to date, with the long weekend and all.

The Ciniplex website?
That don't mean much, if you click on daily showtimes Friday September 7th isn't even listed it, which is usual. It should there the middle of the week.

Hmm, never looked at The Empire website for Calgary (I have no idea where Calgary's Imax theater is located).
Not playing in Edmonton at all though, which means I am out of luck as expected.

Showtimes for the week of 9/7-9/13 won't get posted until next Friday. Phone the theatre that has an IMAX in Edmonton and ask them for clarification on wether they will be showing the movie.

Is there a way to buy the tickets online from Empire's website and choose your reserved seats in advance? I'm assuming all IMAX screens have reserved and numbered seating, ya?
I got all the way to payment screen without being able to select. I'm not about to let them randomly assign me crappy seats. Do I need to go there in person to buy them?

As cool as this is, I wish they'd have done it at the real IMAX and not the knock-off version.

It's not a full size IMAX, this article by Roger Ebert covers the difference pretty well. The only real IMAX in Calgary is the one at Chinook.

Are these "IMAX Lite" theaters about as good as the AVX ones then?
The last couple of times I saw an AVX screening at Chinook or Sunridge, I wondered if they were worse than the AVX at Cross Iron where I normally go. I convinced myself they were the same, but now I wonder. If there are IMAX Lite screens, there could easily be AVX Lite too. Being that the AVX screen at Cross Iron was built from the ground up as AVX, it is probably better than Sunridge's or Chinook's AVX screens.
Can anyone correlate this for me?
