Two distinct Indiana Jones theatrical re-releases coming your way

21 Aug, 2012, 23:19 | Posted by: Jason

If you live in the U.S., September will be a great month to be an Indy fan. To celebrate the series' release on Blu-ray next month, Indy is returning to the silver screen in two separate, limited engagement events.

The first: Raiders of the Lost Ark is coming to IMAX! Yes, you will be able to see the genre-defining classic on an impossibly large screen at participating theaters from 9/7-9/13. From what I'm told, the new print they've struck from the restoration looks incredible.

Second, select AMC theaters will be presenting a back-to-back, butt-punishing marathon of all four Indy movies on 9/15.

All of this, course, leads right into the Blu-ray release on 9/18. It's as though this was all scheduled with some sort of intent.

Man I've got theaters close doing both of those.

It would be super cool to see all the original on the big screen as I never got to as a kid, mainly on account of being -3 years old when the first one came out. But I'm not sure I could tackle 8 hours in a movie theater.

The Raiders IMAX would be cool, because duh, its Raiders on a big screen. I'll have to don my fedora and pick one...I would love to see Temple of Doom on a big screen too....

This is pretty awesome! Although I think I much rather see a digital projection, than seeing it on IMAX. I don't know if it's the IMAX theater I attend to, but in my experience there is nothing impressive about a blown up 35mm to 70mm. It looks huge alright, but not better by any means. The only truly good thing of films in IMAX is that the sound is uncompressed, and for Indy films, you won't get to hear that anywhere else outside of Skywalker Sound.
