False IMAX
My experience with this app has been great up until recently. I hope they fix the problem Im about to address, but Im likely moving on to a theater specific app and will be keeping a lookout for improvements.
I went with a friend to a showing of Spiderman Homecoming. We had both seen the movie in 2-D and regular 3-D. I noticed on the Flixter app that my local theater was showing it in IMAX & IMAX 3-D. We chose plain IMAX (no 3-D). At least that was our plan. We drive out to the theater and ask for tickets to the IMAX showing. She hands us tickets while telling us there is no IMAX showing at this theater. We asked the manager to explain. It turns out the (company) theaters app only advertised Real-D 3-D and 2-D showings. We were already there and wanted to not waste our time, so we just went with it and saw it in 2-D again. Very frustrating to get excited to see a movie in IMAX only to be let down by a faulty app. Whether it was wrong information retrieved by Flixter from the company the runs the theater, or some other reason, Im tempted to just dump it altogether. I ask Flixter to get its act together so I dont have to be disappointed like this in the future. Choosing a 3 star rating until I see something is done. Ill check back.
