The day before Christmas, Alamo technical guru Andrew McEathron and I got on a plane to Los Angeles for a side-by-side comparison of digital technologies. We've been toying around with the idea of a digital conversion for years, but frankly, we weren't thrilled by what we had seen to date with the standard digital cinema projectors.
Word in the nerd circles, however, was that Sony's new system had been blowing the doors off the competition in side by side tests, and that's what we were flying to LA on Christmas Eve to see. With 12,582,912 pixels per frame (four times the amount of any other cinema in Austin), we were sold.
Check out our blog post on the subject for more technical details.
The long and short is, starting Friday at the Village, all new release movies will be presented digitally at the Village, including Monsters Vs. Aliens, in beautiful Real D Digital 3D.
