This is the U.Ks major cinema chain 'Cineworld' which has over 130 cinemas in the country. Also I was looking forward to seeing some films in 3D like Bolt, Monsters vs Aliens but no cinemas the south of London has any 3D projectors so I don't think 3D cinema will take off for maybe 7-10 years. The only time I have been mildly impressed at the cinema was for Revenge of the Sith in London's Odeon Leicester Square when it was shown in digital. Compared to Blu-Ray i'm afraid cinema doesn't come anywhere close.
there's a massive amount of grain because the movie was shot on film which naturally has grain. you can't escape it unless you shoot enitrely on digital cameras and such. but who would want to do that? that's just insane.
