thread_title:  Can this be added ? 

message: In the UK some shows were presented in oversize circus-style circular marquees. I remember one such event in Torquay ( a beach resort in Devon) during the 1960's. There were two films on the programme: first a travelogue (something like "natural wonders of the world") comprising helicopter shots of places such as the Grand Canyon. The other was probably "How the West Was Won" though my memory is not totally clear. Both surround-sound (with speakers behind the audience) and the three-projector system were in use. The curved screen took up nearly half of the "big top" with the audience in the other half.81.86.230.16 (talk) 18:29, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: UK performances

message: Perhaps you could leave some comments as to what specifically you think that this article is lacking as far as global perspective goes? Yes, I acknowledge that there were Cinerama venues outside of the US, but to the best of my research, the technology was proprietary to a single US company which was also responsible for all of the productions - of which there were very few - made on the system. While some of these were travelogues which were filmed internationally (with American crews), the system was controlled from the US and concentrated their business pursuits primarily towards persuading Hollywood to adopt their system. Its major competitors were other American formats, some of which were developed in-house by the studios, and others of which were retooled from prior technologies. What else would you have the article mention from an international standpoint, other than that a handful of titles produced by Americans also screened abroad?

message: The article says, without evidence or explanation, "Every other system -- Todd-AO, CinemaScope, even IMAX -- can be fairly described as attempts, with varying degrees of success, to approximate Cinerama at lower cost." As it stands, it sounds like opinion, especially with respect to IMAX DOME. The article needs details and/or references to justify this statement. David (talk) 14:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsupported statement: Cinerama is best 

message: The information about the later "pseudo-Cinerama" movies are confusing regardless of where someone looks for information.  I actually saw The Hallelujah Trail in New York City during its original release and three projectors were definitely used to exhibit the film.  It's the only Cinerama film I've ever seen in a theatre so I'm not mixing it up with something else, it absolutely was shown that way and made a tremendous impact on me as a result.  I'm mentioning it because this has bothered me for some years since whenever I happen to encounter information about the film somewhere, there is no mention of this, almost as though I'm a character from a Jack Finney time travel novel who briefly inhabited a parallel universe.  I know that actually having seen the movie myself would probably qualify as "original research" under Wikipedia rules but it was certainly exhibited with three projectors whose beams crossed, one for the left third of the screen, one for the middle third, and one for the right third of the screen.

replies: text: Check out the talk page for "The Hallelujah Trail", you will find it explained there. Unfortunately this article does not mention the Super Cinerama process.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.75.230 (talk) 09:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy over later 3-projector film

message: There is no discussion of the computer conversion of three-strip Cinerama films to a single image. This processing reduces or removes the visible lines between the frames, and also corrects for perspective errors. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:40, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
