Jokes aside, I think this would actually be an interesting thing that would get younger people back in cinemas. At least for the absurdity of it.

Yeah and what if we played it backward and with the colors inverted

About 10 years too late I think. That dumb shit died out years ago.

Nice, thanks for sharing. I might have missed it but does it say how they handled audio?

Superimposing images would probably have more happy accidents than superimposing reversed audio, which would probably just make things unintelligible.

Don't quote me on this (haven't seen it and only pulled partial clips before answering), but I think the audio just runs as per normal. Though it'd be kind of cool to have reverse audio as an option (if in a theatre, idk, have a set up kinda like what folks do for silent discos/some bluetooth device with serious multi-connection capacity or something, and people who opt for it have one earpiece in while the vanilla track plays in the room).

Only aware of it 'cause the rep theatre here did a screening once. Seemed cool.

for me to come back they would have to:

  • get cheaper
  • be less loud, like I feel like I could have hearing loss after going to the cinema
  • better screen quality
  • less annoying people
  • no ads, seriously. I'm paying to see the thing and still have to endure ads? And people complain about streaming services when cinemas have been doing this for ages
