Paul: You received a film print for the trade screening, rather than your digital copy?

It is very close to 2 1/2 hours total run time (head to tailout; no trailers).

The print I saw had several parts that were ridiculously grainy (especially dark blues and grays) and had 'off' colors (I am assuming that parts of this particular print were not 'timed' yet)

Sound was great, no EX in the house I watched it in however. (Yes Mike it is an EX release)

I have been *told* that the running time is 2 hours 22 minutes. However, that is NOT an official clocking, so don't trust it. I do expect it is fairly accurate though.

I would have clocked it myself, but someone decided that running the trade screening on a 40ish foot screen in DLP with a generic sound system was better than running film on an 80 foot screen with a THX sound system...and as such the screening was ran elsewhere. I guess sound isn't 50% of the experience any more and size no longer matters.

The digital image was not ready yet.

Brad, the runtime is pretty accurate.

No SDDS-8 on this release.

Yes on the EX.

Official feature running time:
2 hours, 22 minutes, 5 seconds and 11 frames

Typical theater's running time:
2 hours, 22 minutes, 4 seconds and 23 frames

Changeover from reel 4-5 is very tight on the audio. Think about it before you go chopping frames on that one!

No SDDS-8? Regal here has "See Star Wars in 8-Channel Sound!" posters on their boxoffice & in the lobby.

Mine came with five trailers in two seperate envelopes. Hope I remember them all.

MINORITY REPORT (ATTACHED)
GOLDMEMBER
MIB II
MATRIX RELOADED
UNDERCOVER BROTHER
DIE ANOTHER DAY

BRAD: I took your advise on reels 4&5. Did not find a problem.
I did have a problem on reels 1&2 where I had to count frames from the changeover cue. There was about 12 frames of black before the tail part as compared to the rest of the reels. I also screened it and there was no problem.

It is indeed odd that a film with a max. limit of 4 trailers came with so many!
