If you look at the advert for Gravity tickets in the online copy of The Metro it says IMAX 3D:)

Ooooooooo IMAX!! Even better. Last thing I saw on there was Avatar.... I felt like I was running thru the jungle at the start lol

Can't wait for the new hunger games to come out - totally loved the books

I had a ticket booked for Gravity tonight but cancelled it due to other commitments. It now turns out that I am free again. There are always spare seats at my cinema and so I was wondering if I should go along with the ticket I printed out and see if I can get in anyway. Maybe wait till the film starts to make sure there are spare seats?

I used to get email notifications for any new posting on the codes only thread. Recently I don't seem to be getting that. Has anything changed recently? Last week I did unsubscribe and then subscribed again and got one email notification (and I did click on the link) but then since then I have had nothing although there have been new postings. Am I missing something?

Make sure you're logged in (tick the remember me box) and make sure you click each link you receive

Saw Gravity tonight.... I thought it was totally pointless, butt... (like my pun??) it's nice to see Sandra Buttock in top form

Thankfully someone returned a ticket at twenty past five so I got to go. First thing that came to mind when she crawled out of that suit; 'Wow, she's in good shape for her age.' Well actually, it was, 'Wow, her thighs are amazing.' and then, 'she looks good for her age.'

Had tickets but was told it was full when we arrived (before the start). Really annoyed as the time and effort to cross Glasgow at peak traffic time is something I would totally avoid in normal circumstances!

To be fair the Manager offered to let us see anything else but there was nothing we fancied so went to Asda instead.

He said it was oversubscribed, I have attended many previews and they are never more than 70% full. Surely the point of offering tickets is that there are only as many as there are seats?

I know they are free but I wouldnt have bothered if I knew we might not get in.

I thought all tickets warned it was on a first come first served basis? They oversubscribed them because people fail to turn up and cancel their tickets. You're unfortunate that people actual wanted to see this movie

I arrived at my cinema around 5.30 and there were already people in the queue. By 6.00 the screen was already pretty much full. You want to try to arrive more than half an hour before the film starts, closer to an hour for popular films like IMAX screenings.
