    I saw the new article saying Dolby, Dolby.com will screen TFA in several locations with the new high tech format.
    JJ Abrahms says it's the "best" way to watch the film.

    There are 2 Dolby movie theaters close to me so I think that's where I might see TFA the first time.
    I'd like to screen it in IMAX too just to see the SFX-action on a huge screen.
    70mm IMAX digital would be ideal but I haven't seen any PR or listings for those screens.

    I would say the best way to watch the movie is the way you most enjoy.

    Looked at the science museum viewings & they have a lot less plus according to them you get 40% more on screen but they also say its in 2d so not sure how reliable the information is

    My condolences to all the victims of the Paris attack

    I'll be watching with Atmos sound my second day. The first show though, I'll be watching it SD with no super fancy sound system.

    This one is like 5 minutes down the road from where I live. And yet... I didn't consider it. Shame on me.

    Actually, The TCL Chinese Theater also has it in native 70mm IMAX. And I want to see it in Dolby, too. It must be pretty freaking expensive, though.
