i saw a handful of films this weeked. all had the ROTS trailer running. At the Grove the movie & traliers were projected digitally… other than the slight aliaising that happens on sharp diagonal edges (like text), it looked* great*. I paid special attention to the Star Wars trailer. Later we went to Grauman’s Chinese and saw a movie projected on film. One scene that really caught my attention was with Samual Jackson standing up on a podium with jedis around him… in digital you could make out the fine cross hatch design on his lapel… in the film projection it was an indistinct brown. If I wasn’t before, I am 100% sold on DLP and the future of theater. (unforunately Opening Day digital screening times were sold out by the time I got online)

I’m sure there are plenty of reasons for this discrepency (no film chatter in digital, cheaply made trailer prints, older projecter, slightly out of focus). But the Chinese theater is really a grade AAA place that takes immaculate care of their prints and making sure things are projected properly.
