You're not a terrible person for not driving 5 hours to see Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX

- If you can see the OPPENHEIMER in 70mm IMAX, you should. But if you're unable to that doesn't make you not a true cinema fan or something. Just see the movie on the best screen you can.

My original Reddit thread talking about this
www.reddit.com/r/OppenheimerM...
A helpful list someone on Reddit made of locations playing in special theaters (IMAX 70mm, 70mm, 35mm, and IMAX GT Laser). Note I can't find the original thread to credit the user - if you can find it let me know!

I’m grateful that a 70mm imax theater is a 40 min bus ride away from me
Why was this just recommended to me?
Exactly! How? Why? 300 views!?
😂😂 same. I have UA-cam Vanced. Not sure if that made a difference
I’m here too, very confused. Together we’re confused, as friends.
Probably because you watched something about oppenheimer or imax
@@dan1one the view count doesn't matter, youtube likes to recommend low view videos now
5 hours drive? The closest IMAX theater to me is only an hour of plane ride away.
This is gonna blow up
The topic aside, I do agree - I am from Nepal and we have no IMAX here. Glad to have found this channel because of Oppenheimer bcoz I too am fascinated by everything
bruh yesterday i booked 4 tickets for todays show and this video recommended to me. Crazy!
it just a fucking movie watch it however you want
Gonna watch it in the Digital Imax after a few days, its fucking amazing, cause there arent ant theatres in my country showing 70mm IMAX or even 35 MM.
My nearest one is 2.5 he drive. I can't waste that much time just for a movie.
I also saw Dunkirk at the Bullock Museum IMAX. That screen and auditorium is amazing! The Dual Laser projection is excellent. It felt pretty similar to my experience in 70mm IMAX with TDK and TDKR.
I know, amazing right? And rumor has it that about 3 or 4 of the 70mm IMAX projectors experienced technical difficulties tonight. Appearently the one in San Antonio broke down and they gave everyone a refund. (Some people had driven from like El Paso to see it there .) The one in Irvine California apparently broke and they switched to digital.
These are big, old, complicated machines that were originally designed for 45 min science documentaries and spend most of their time locked in the closet gathering dust with minimal maintenance. And now they're being tasked with playing 3 hour, 600 lbs, 11 mile along, Hollywood epics when knowledge of theater knowledge projector operation is at a low. So I think these break downs are going to happen more and more. And more theaters are going to have to embrace the Bullock Museum solution....which I'm cool with as long as it's that GT laser system and not a lesser system.
I saw it tonight on a lesser 2k xenon IMAX system and it left a lot to be desired. Mostly because the screen was dirty....we don't have many theaters where I live now (Wisconsin) - many shut down due to COVID - so the local IMAX can be bad at maintainance and still get sales.
I'll have more thoughts later, but overall I think it was a very good 3 hour movie that would have made an excellent 2.5 hour movie. It feels like a director's cut....in both the good and bad ways.
Tomorrow I'm driving 1 hour and 15 to see it in "normal" 70mm". I'll have more thoughts after, but right now I'm leaning towards the extra IMAX aspect ratio not be really necessary for this one.
@@fascinatedbyeverything I've seen the movie at a local Regal RPX and Cinemark XD. The Cinemark XD wasn't great, but wasn't terrible. The Regal RPX was extremely impressive. I strongly suspect this screen has 4K Laser projection. It looked incredible. Very sharp image, very bright, great contrast, great color. Really good size screen too, quite a bit larger than the Cinemark XD. It's a very new Regal theater, opened in 2021. Their timing was horrible to open a 24 screen theater during the Pandemic, but you can tell they spent a ton of money building the place.
I have one more show scheduled in Regal RPX, and eventually a LieMAX showing on a pretty decent size LieMAX screen (71 feet wide, 45 feet tall). What's interesting is I won't be shocked if the LieMAX experience turns out worse than this brand new Regal RPX screen. The LieMAX is still using the old 2K projectors from 10+ years ago instead of 4K Laser projection. I suspect my Cinemark XD show was also a regular 2K projector. It did not have the same "wow" factor as the Regal RPX screen.
This is Frustrated me after not getting tickets to IMAX for next week as well.
This is a consolation vdo 😢
I would rather see it in Imax 70mm but don't want to make the long drive so regular theater is much more convenient for me
No imax70mm near me, So I did the next best thing, saw it twice on opening day...... Once in imax digital laser, once in 70mm (non imax)...
Really liked it both times 😊
I saw oppenheimer with dual laser imax, it looked amazing, my closest IMAX 70MM is 4 hours away, so sadly I don’t think I will be able to go 😢
What is this? Why me?
Me and my brother are driving 5 hours and 30mins to see it next friday in 15/70 IMAX Never go to Cinemark for high quality they alway cuting corners example the sound will be lower picture shaking no masking on screen they almost never check anything unless they are forced to and dont know too much about presenting movies pictrues sound wise or anything else I have talked to them about 10 or more times over the years and they are like we dont know.
Man, I don't know what recommended this video to me, but I have to drive 6 hours one way to see the movie. LMAO, I was ready to do that but tickets filled fast and expensive. I'll see what I can do.
