Choice between Digital and non-Digital films at theatres

[BillsWatch]

I know all about the hype between digital and non-digital cable/tv, etc but I am looking up a film for this weekend "The Forbidden Kingdom" and some AMC Theatres in area list it playing twice - once digital and once non. What is the difference in the theater?

Don't know much about it. They just opened up a new digital theater close to here, complete with full bar in the balcony.

Here's some digital cinema info:

Digital is DLP technology, where the other is traditional film. I've seen a couple DLP movies in the theatre and the color and sound was just amazing. I always look for it now.

Film theoretically looks better, but the couple of digital flicks I've seen at the theater have looked great.

 

The advantage to digital is that it will always look the same. Film looks great the first few times, but then starts to degrade as parts of it burn up in the projector. That's why you see specs of white on the film when you watch an older movie.
