I want to go and watch V for Vendetta sometime this week. Never been to an IMAX in the Bay Area. Any one that you folks that live around here will recommend?

The few that I know of are in San Jose (on South Market St), Dublin (right off the 580 Fwy), and in San Francisco (Metreon).

go to the metreon(spelled worng I think) in SF.

the tech museum doesn't work for regular movies. unless you get there really early and get the top seats and towards the center.

I worked there when it was 1st built. they even said it, the dome does not work well with moves that are not sized to fit it. its like sitting the front row of a regular theatre. They said it back then. when the thought of movies not filmed in imax was frowned on.

atleast with the metreon its just a gigantic screen in a regular theatre style setup

I've been to the one at the Metreon which is nice.

Also the Chabot Science Center is awesome but they seldom show non-science related movies at theirs (did see the Matrix there though).
