I noticed the extensions at around 12 pm today - saw that all the seats were empty on AMC's site, thanked the gods for blessing me with such luck, and proceeded to attempt to buy tickets for any day I could. Failed constantly, kept getting hit with a "an unknown error has occurred" message before checkout.

Refusing to give in I left my home, hopped on the subway, and it took it up to the only theater in my city showing the movie in Imax 70mm. This was around 2 pm. The place was packed with people, all waiting in lines for the kiosks, all buying tickets for the odyssey. I got two tickets for 2 pm on a Saturday, and then went about my day.

I fucking want to watch that damn movie and I ain't backing down. 😤 Sorry to all those who tried to buy them online, but I genuinely feel like AMC was purposefully only letting people get them in person (but I have no evidence to back that up).

It’s worth all the extra effort!

I went to see it this week in IMAX and it is a fucking spectacle. Maybe a handful of people went to the bathroom during the entire 3 hours.

Also: If you’re lucky, you’ll get a Dune 3 preview beforehand.

Side rant: why don't American cinemas have intermission? Why do we have to hold it in for three hours? Why can't I re-up on snacks?
