*Semi*-Hot for Washington DC Area Residents!

Tickets available for preorder now via this link.

NOTE: All tickets are Will Call pickups. It's suggested you get to the theatre/museum earlier than usual to get them...the museum is free to enter...yet parking costs 12 bucks. C'est la vie - at least you'll have entertaining stuff to look at in the interim.

Demand is expected to be high, as each purchase has (it seems) a 7 minute timelimit. A nice early Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/BobDay gift, IMO.

Some of you might be surprised at this even being "semi-hot" (a movie being released 3+ weeks after the film/DLP release) - but the Smithsonian showing a PG-13 movie is BIG from a political standpoint. They didn't even show the Polar Express IMAX in the SI IMAX theatres, FFS.

Everyone in the DC area has gotten shafted on every other IMAX flick (both Matrix sequels, even Batman Begins). Hopefully this signals that we Washingtonians might be able to get big-screen shows from now on - seeing as we've got THREE IMAX theaters in the general vicinity, all unfortunately controlled by the Smithsonian.
 
I'm not seeing Harry Potter anywhere with that link.

And dude, the Dulles IMAX is pretty darn far for us real "Washingtonians" seeing my office is within easy walking distance to the downtown one 🙂
 
Yeah, but the Lockheed-Martin's showing a "Coming Soon" - not "Buy Tickets Now"

And Chantilly isn't TOO far away - just jump on the Toll Road from I-495, take it to Rt. 29 towards Chantilly/Centreville. On a weekend it'll take you maybe a grand total of 30-45 minutes from the District. 🙂

Also, I explained why you're not seeing the listings in that initial link - the page defaults to November 2005 for obvious reasons. You don't get the links unless you click on December 05/January 06. I WOULD have linked to the December 2005 page, but when you click on it, the URL gets condensed.

He did say area which encompasses all 4 million of us as opposed to the mere .5 million that actually live in boundaries of Washington DC.
 
I did click on December but just didn't scroll down far enough. I'm lazy like that. And Chantilly might as well be West Virginia. I try not to head out there if I can help it 🙂
 
I saw this movie last week on the Boeing IMAX here in Seattle and it was great. I found the huge screen and awesome sound added alot to the movie, and made certain parts way scarier than they should have been. If anyone over there can make it to the IMAX to see it then do it, you won't be sorry 🙂
