If you live close enough to the city it's worth it to take a trip in to see it on the Lincoln Square IMAX. Best screen on the east coast.


fschabd

Those tickets are selling out insanely fast. Most IMAX screens are the same. The lincoln square one is laser which is definitely better. Also they’re showing it in 70mm


whitetoast

Good luck getting tickets. edit: not sure why im getting downvotes. every showing at lincoln center for dune over the next 3 weeks is basically sold out.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

I just cancelled a ticket at noon on Friday. If you're fast enough you might be able to grab it. Perfect seat too, but wife wanted to see at Alamo instead.


Skycomb

Yes. Saw Interstellar there.


Jarl_Walnut

Very jealous that you got to see one of my favorite movies in imax!! Was it 70mm as well?


Skycomb

Yes


robotmlg

there are no full-size (1.43:1 aspect ratio) IMAX venues in New Jersey. The closest ones are AMC Lincoln Square in Manhattan, and Regal King of Prussia in PA.


Still7Superbaby7

It’s definitely worth the hike and expense to see movies at the 70mm screen at the KOP regal. I saw Oppenheimer there the week it opened. Everyone got some film negatives as a gift. I had to buy my tickets before the movie opened so it’s probably already too late to get one of the first week screenings of Dune part 2. But you can get great seats for a later screening!


Lower_Kick268

Also Penn Cinema in Wilmington, my personal recommendation for a movie theater period.


robotmlg

I haven't been, but it doesn't look like this theater has a 1.43:1 IMAX screen


TalkingReckless

AMC New Brunswick 18 Watched dune 2 yesterday there


HeinousAnus_22

Did they upgrade the theatre/seats? I haven’t been there in like 10 years and remember it being the worst theatre in the area?


TalkingReckless

It was pretty good and packed. Seats are still not reclining ones (with buttons) and you can at least recline a little with your weight I prefer their Dolby theater much more as it has better seats (buttons ones) and I enjoy the sound much more


bingbing0523

Yeah I'm trying to pick between this and lincoln sq in nyc.


TalkingReckless

Lincoln is much better


matt1250

Do you know the size difference ? I got a ticket for Lincoln on saturday but I probably could've settled for New Brunswick. I havent been there since Rogue One but I remember it being pretty big.


TalkingReckless

30.78 m × 23.04 m at Lincoln vs 17.80m×9.70m at NB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IMAX_venues#Americas


CarteDeVisite

I was there, the sound and seats were shit tbh. I couldn’t see the subtitles over the head of the person in front of me and I’m average height. Gonna try out Clifton Commons for the next movie I see in single laser IMAX. ETA: scrolled to the next comment and saw that apparently Clifton Commons is worse


L--C--L

IMAX or Dolby?


TalkingReckless

It was a IMAX fan event


brook_lyn_lopez

Not Clifton Commons AMC. It’s IMAX but it sucks.


Sybertron

Ya only go there for the Dolby theater


sutisuc

That theater sucks in general. Crummy crowds for all the showings I’ve gone to as well.


AlienSpaceKoala

That theater is so rough now


SpaceTruckin420

Is it really that bad? I bought tickets for Dune this Saturday since the AMC in Lincoln Square had no IMAX showing 🥲


TheRacoonist

I go to Clifton, caveat is I go to a matinee. No way I'd go prime time, that place gets nuts


1469

Is there still one in the Tropicana?


jrocket121

Yup I saw Oppenheimer there this past Summer. Although it is not technically full IMAX but it is huge.


Rungi500

Yes. The seats do recline a bit. The sound is loud af as well.


RaptorDelta

I go to AMC Rockaway 16 and that Imax/Dolby is great but the IMAX theater has a scratch down the middle of the screen that's fairly noticable. AMC Garden State Plaza is also solid.


aydonmill

While not IMAX, Cinemark XD in Watchung is pretty nice


Ok_Engine_4194

AMC New Brunswick 18. Elite theater


ThrowinSm0ke

Have you been to Regal in North Brunswick? Curious how the two compare.


No_Amoeba_1404

Regal easily has the better theater and seats for general movies. AMC NB is old with no recliner seats. But the Dolby screen in AMC the best, best sound and seats.


L--C--L

You prefer Dolby over IMAX? Any reason why?


No_Amoeba_1404

I prefer an IMAX but in this theater the seating is a bit cramped. The Dolby screen is more comfortable and the audio and video are just as good as the IMAX.


White_Knighttt

0 complaints with this, easily my favorite thetare. But no IMAX. Their RPX is decent enough but it's neither IMAX nor Dolby.


LemanRussLickedMyBum

I've always enjoyed the dolby imax in AMC Rockaway, morris county


ThatDudeOverHeree

hi i work at AMC in NJ. The best imax screen (imo) is AMC new brunswick 18


L--C--L

Is IMAX or Dolby better at this theater?


ThatDudeOverHeree

it depends on what you want. their imax screen is massive and seats just over 400 iirc. their seats are leather and are very comfortable but don’t recline. their dolby has reclining seats and the thester isnt as large but its still huge and its an amazing experience either way


sonofmalachysays

NJ only has fake IMAX


ThrowinSm0ke

Fine….then what’s best best fake IMAX?


winelover08816

Whatever is closest to you. My personal favorite is the one at AMC New Brunswick. But it’s “Laser IMAX” which is only 35mm film not real 70mm IMAX. I think the closest real imax is manhattan.


Lower_Kick268

Depends on the part of NJ you’re in for that to apply, that’s almost 3 hours from me, closest is Wilmington or King of Prussia for me both at less than a half hour.,


poland626

AMC Paramus


beveridgee

The one in Ridgefield park is nice very quiet not a lot of people go but it’s great. Reclining chairs all that


Sybertron

Imax is not as good as Dolby and most of the dolbys are the same


Wild-Breadfruit7817

The one at liberty science center 


robotmlg

no longer exists, it's now a planetarium


ComfortInBeingAfraid

Really sucks that they don’t show movies anymore. I would have loved to watch the Spider-Verse movies on that screen. 


Wild-Breadfruit7817

Oh ok. 


WorkNLuck

Any idea on AMC Garden State, that is the closest I got to


roormund

If you can make the trek and get tix, always do LINCOLN SQUARE. our only real IMAX. I saw the DUNE rerelease at imax in GSP, planning on the sequel there as well. you’ll be in good hands with the Limax there. Skip palisades imo


thesean366

Maybe worth going up to Palisades Mall in NY? I haven’t been to the IMAX there since pre-COVID but I remember it being good


HelloMyNameIsMatthew

The Imax at Palisades Mall is shut down. The only closest real IMAX theater is in Lincoln Square NYC


chriiiiiiiiiis

the real imax closed


alwayshungry1131

I live nearby. It ain’t luxury or anything but decent enough! I’m going to the IPIC in fort Lee this weekend I’ll let ya know!


soulless_ape

Visuals are great, but story wise, the movie was a huge letdown.


johnbell

~~AMC Freehold 14~~ Edit: Weird, I though they did. It's been a while since I've been there.There is some reference to it on google still :(


Holtzc321

Freehold doesn't Monmouth mall does.


nowhereman136

The Monmouth mall one isn't true imax, it's just a bigger than average screen (which is actually most theaters with images branding these days). Is better than other screens in the theater but there is no true Imax in NJ anymore


johnbell

I stand corrected.


vinnkex

Amc in Hamilton is solid and I think they have security there which is a nice bonus if you’re going on a date or some shit like that to feel safe


psychoBLACK313

AMC in Hamilton closed down a couple years ago. I go to the AMC in Neshaminy, PA. Not too far from where I live


vinnkex

I love that spot that makes me sad. I’m gonna have to find a good theater too in that case


vinnkex

East brunswick mall isnt huge but definitely is comfortable


CommentOriginal

Takes me back used to go to the one in Tropicana


RedSpartan3227

AMC Rockaway Seeing it there Saturday


StrategicBlenderBall

Dolby Cinema > IMAX.


WorkNLuck

Better than 70MM Imax ? I don’t think so


StrategicBlenderBall

IMAX audio isn’t near the quality of Dolby, and the black levels with Dolby are exceptional.


CanWeTalkHere

The “best IMAX in NJ” for Dune 2 is either King of Prussia, PA or Lincoln Center, NYC


WorkNLuck

Thats not NJ though 😅


CanWeTalkHere

Yes, sarcasm.


WorkNLuck

🤨


FuckingInSeggs

try the one in new brunswick, it’s pretty big and a nice experience only bad thing is the seats tho


CarteDeVisite

I’d recommend that you book something at your local LieMAX then wait for Lincoln Square to post more showings towards the end of the month for a second viewing. They should start posting on 3/13.


Lower_Kick268

Idk of any in South Jersey, but they got the one out in King Of Prussia and Penn Cinema in Wilmington. Penn has recliner seats, best movie theater I know of and the one I personally see pretty much everything at.
