It was criminal for Avengers Infinity War and Endgame for both to be filmed entirely in IMAX but to get released standard with black bars for home release
10) First Man 9) Dark Knight Rises 8) Dark Knight 7) Into Darkness 6) Interstellar 5) Dunkirk 4) Tenet 3) Fallout 2) Aquaman 1) The Last Knight I’ve seen all of those expect Transformers & First Man. Fallout, Interstellar & Into Darkness are my favorites. Fallout has been one of the best looking movies for me over all plus I’m a fan over all of the franchise. Interstellar & Into Darkness have top notch special effects along with a some of the best audio.
Not surprised that half of these are literally Christopher Nolan's films. I don't have a problem with that btw, that's really cool. I have Tenet on DVD, and that's in IMAX too.
The Last Knight is my favorite reference 4k disk to show off with. It literally has every kind of demo scene (CGI, live action, car chase, space, mix of CGI and live action). Even medieval scenes lol.
Mine would be, 1. Interstellar 2. Dunkirk 3. TENET 4. The Dark Knight Rises 5. Mission: Impossible - Fallout 6. The Dark Knight 7. Aquaman 8. First Man 9. Star Trek: Into Darkness 10. Transformers: The Last Knight
I’d happily pay more for IMAX especially if it’s run throughout the length of the film. Didn’t even know Avengers last 2 films were filmed that way? The 4K disc pic quality were quite disappointing IMO.
Will we ever get full imax movies instead of just a few shots here and there? You would think that there more demand for that. Do you know why this is?
Yeah apparently the last 2 Avengers movies were fully shot in IMAX, it just sucks they were not given the full imax ratio for the home releases instead thy got the letterbox 2.40.1
comes down to the cameras, especially if we're talking about genuine full 1.43:1 IMAX. Super loud and bulky. But IMAX has just announced that they're working on a new line of cameras (finally) to workaround this issue. The current ARRI IMAX digital counterparts (the ones used in DUNE) could, in theory, be used to shoot an entire movie but they still don't reach the quality of IMAX film cameras
Well there's really a market for 4K and 1080p Blu-rays. But some are very noticeable improvements. But if you're upgrading from a 1080p to a 4K one it may vary. The difference may not be worth to upgrade or not. But spare change is really a great UA-camr for reviewing technical specifications for movies. I still buy 1080p Blu-ray movies because of the price and 4K for the quality and audio but both of them ofter superior quality over streaming.
The exciting thing about this for me was hearing you say you favor 3D over 4K for some of these. Just set up my home theater with projector and thought it would be all about 4k, and while I love the Atmos on UHD discs, I still think well done 3D is visually more impressive. Now I'm stocking up on those rare examples of 3D blu rays with Atmos (Mad Max etc.). Will pick up the Last Knight after this. As you guys suggest, there are high quality (critically acclaimed) movies, and then there are great home theater movies that look and sound great and show off your system. I would also like to see you do a top 10 3D blu rays video, even if 3D is going to disappear.
I want to believe never disappear blu ray 3D and REAL D 3D, is the most impressive visual experience at now, for me the best blu ray 3D movies >>>> the best UHD 4K movies.
Hello Shane. Can you do a Top 10 list of your all time favorite 3D movies. 3D is so rare now, those of us with 3D TV”s and projectors want to get the best that’s out there. Thank you,
And it sounds from this video that you guys sometimes favor 3d over 4k, and having just set up my home theater and DLP projector, I'm finding the same thing. Well done 3d is still more visually impressive to me than 4k. Admittedly, my projector isn't a 5-10 grand true 4k, but a 1.5 grand Benq which upscales.
Imax Enhanced has even less support on disc from the studios didn't back it up - despite massive support from home cinema manufacturers. Dark Knight Imax sequences knocked it out of the park for me, I remember when they showed the first 10 mins in the cinema it was jaw dropping. There is an Imax bluray of Transformers Age of Extinction film itself was poor but Imax stuff was v impressive but they didn't move it over to 4K release sadly.
I’ve just re-watched The Expanse from Amazon Prime in 4K and a 120” screen and it’s not IMAX but it’s “full-screen” in 4K and the space cinematography is amazing. Highly recommended
Plenty of people confusing flat 1.85:1 with IMAX 1.90:1 Lion King, Joker aren’t IMAX. Yet Aquaman is. None of them shot on IMAX cameras. What makes Aquaman special? Aquaman, Marvel movies and MI6 are shot with full sensor width and height. It’s called Opengate. And IMAX has a trademark over these scenes and will play theatrically with that aspect ratio in IMAX theatres only. You can crop these scenes to 2.35:1 without cutting off heads. Joker, Knives Out etc are shot entirely in the cropped sensor 1.85:1 (DCI Flat) These movies are shot in a way that you CANNOT crop these to 2.35:1 scope without cutting off heads. And IMAX doesn’t have agency over this because all theatres will play it that way. Some exceptions which are cropped+IMAX for the entire runtime are Skyfall, 1917 and Tomorrowland. These never became available to home media.
Exactly! People gets exited when they saw IMAX but don't realized most of these films were shot with the new Arri 65mm camera and IMAX basically called their camera, here's the link if anyone wants to read more about the digital IMAX camera: www.arrirental.com/en/cameras/alexa-65. These cameras has full sensor that display aspect ratio of 2.11:1. Some of the other so-called IMAX films like 1917 were shot with Arri Mini which has aspect ratio of 1.89:1, they masked out the top and bottom when shown on regular 2.39:1 screen. Only a few films shot with the real IMAX 65mm cameras, for example, Nolan's films.
@@Bluboy30 Yeah lol it’s mostly marketing. I can shoot 16:9 “IMAX” from an iPhone and add letterboxed bars to my own videos and alternate between fullscreen and letterbox. Adding trademark to an extra bit of open matte is absurd yet I’m fascinated by it. I like IMAX nevertheless haha
I dont know the criteria for being called imax and getting on the list, but seeing as Aquaman is on here, and that is not shot on imax camera, and only uses full screen, you can add: Lion king (full screen the whole way) Pacific rim No they are not shot on imax, but neither is Aquaman :)
i find mad max fury road 4k version and doctor sleep to both have superb visuals and mind blowing atmos. i use fury road opening where hes just escaped from being captured with my atmos testing.
Hate the 4:3 aspect ratio but do love seeing the full image on my tv so I'll give Snyder props for that and I can't wait for the Blu-Ray release of the JL Snyder cut
I watched some behind-the-scenes videos of Inception prior to buying it on 4K and I'm pretty sure I saw a guy using an IMAX camera while filming the hallway fight scene. Could've just been a screen test and then for whatever reason they decided not to use it. Was then pretty disappointed when I got the 4K disc and there were no IMAX scenes, lol.
Hey Tony Stark I respect you dude. But you are missing the point of his attentions for the film. His reasoning for not using IMAX was that he thought the dreams needed to look real as possible, so that meant shooting in 35mm and some in 65mm.
Last Knight and Aquaman look insane in 3D. I’m getting into buying 4k movies digitally on my Apple TV to save some space. I don’t see much of a difference between the disc. I only buy 3D movies.
Now that I think of it there isn't many Dunkirk Interstellar The Dark Knight The Dark Knight Rises TENET Aquaman Transformers The Last Knight Mission Impossible Fallout Star Trek Into Darkness
Obviously we have a messed up grading here. 5/10=average. Not 7/10. That means everything 7-10/10 is compressed, like a 7.5 is really a 6/10, and a 9.5 is really a 9/10. Really confuses because then it's not clear. It's also clear we need a 3d 4k HDR hehee
I have a 16x9 screen and I'm at the point where I wish all movies had the option to view them in 1.85:1 at home, because 99% of people who watch movies outside the theater have 16x9 screens!
Too bad this is limited to blu rays. Christmas Chronicles 2 on z Netflix was shot competely in IMAX and, while inconsistent, is often visually spectacular.
I am glad that there are few Imax titles out there . I ofcourse love the picture quality,but i HATE the switching aspect ratios. That switching is irritating for folks like myself with 2,35:1 aspect ratio.
@@mr_movieguru my point was that you do not have black bars when you have a cinemascope screen and an anamorphic lens. Then you get the whole picture and use of every pixel.
@@haraldperryrhoden1986 i get it, i myself don't mind switching aspect ratio in a movie, because i love imax scènes. Ofcourse i prefer they shoot the whole movie in imax😉
Not really sure what a IMAX movie is on bluray. I have many of these movies and they seem to switch between formats. I have a projector with a widescreen and if I play these movies in 2:35 or whatever to fill my widescreen but then are to tall in imax so I have to play them in 16:9 so when they are IMAX they fit the screen. Is that right?
Hi Shane i am surprised you find Dunkirk a bad watchable movie i think it is different for English/European viewers it was a major event in WW2 1940 and didnt involve american troops unlike Private Ryan which is also a superb movie
What qualifies for a IMAX scene thou ? Does it have to be filmed using an IMAX film camera or it can be any digital camera like the Alexa just without the black bars ?
@@JohnV2016 I don’t recall Star Trek having the IMAX scenes on iTunes? When I saw it I was quite disappointed with the quality until I got the disc with the IMAX added
@@Dave-zk4fv I meant transformers the last Knight, and that sucks about into darkness with no imax scenes on itunes. I have it there but never really watched it from itunes since I got that blu ray disc with the imax scenes
16:9 is not IMAX, 2.35:1 is cinemascope. The crime is when they take Imax and make it 16:9 and then mix it with 2.35 scenes. For these movies like Aquaman I zoom it to fill a 143" 2.35 cinemascope screen and then blank out the top and bottom as I hate changing aspect ratios for Imax. Zack Snyder used 1.33:1 (Very Close to Imax) for his cut of the Justice League and this I liked.
Johnny Jones: It's both. Like DD and DTS before it, (although DTS was only for sound),but good luck finding any discs with it. I suppose they include it for the eventual release of said discs with the codec. Like most things that are manufactured, they like to add "stuff" that you may or may not use or want, just to make it look impressive to the average consumer. My understanding is that you can set up your system in a Imax configuration and have a matrixed, instead of a discrete soundstage when using it. I haven't read enough on it to have a full understanding as of this time, since it hasn't been fully been embraced. There are a few reviews of AVR's on youtube that explain this better. G
Interstellar is definitely my number one. The opening scene from Dark Knight is amazing as well. I watched Aquaman the other day but my TV isn't very good at HDR and it's a bit small but it also looked crazy... I think I watched Fallout on Netflix... or some streaming service. First one I'd watched since number two at the cinema. Loved it. I've added it to my list.
@@Milan-cf1xe I think there's a bump in detail (although my eyesight isn't great), particularly in the IMAX scenes. I think HDR and wide colour gamut do more (at least for me) which make the picture better, although it can be touch darker
There is very little in the way of movies with IMAX. Maybe less than 20 hollywood films on disc. Not exactly sure I haven't counted but it's not many. So having side bars only comes up a couple times a year. It's not a big deal.
@@luisd7636 Atmos is not compatible with film projection so he doesn't want to give the digital presentations of his movies any advantages. You can't pair it with 35/70mm prints, so he wants to follow that.
"Fun Fact" I had an in-person conversation with an OSCAR Winner, remaining nameless, in 2019, who worked on Dark Knight Rises/Nolan Movies.... We both agree DKR is a better/more epic film than DK, ...but that's just our opinion.
Even though I loved the TDK, I saw TDKR at the first show, midnight the night before release on true imax at smithsonian with a full crowd of full on enthusiasts. It's my fave moviegoing experience and I doubt it will ever be topped
@@shahryarrizvi1 Fantastic experience I'd imagine! Although TDK appears to be the most loved amongst fans, for me it goes against the grain of most Nolan Movies i.e. it's quite a linear timeline, unlike BB and TDKR... if I recall correctly?
Except for films that are not related to one another storywise, any of you feels cheapen when a physical disc box art says "N-film/movie collection." It sounds like a pirated movie and it does not look good when displayed on the shelf. For me, I think its better to put "Saga" or any other distinguishing title in the covers, like the Hunger Games Saga, Star Trek: the Kelvin Timeline, Pirates of the Carribean: The adventures of Jack Sparrow etc. They could also put "Complete Series"/"Complete Chronicle" when its a TV series. I have no problem if its in the reverse box art so as not to alienate the other buyers
Others stunning "full screen" movies there are (for example) Gemini Man, Avatar and Avatar the Way of Water, The Flash, Barbie, Bumblubee, Cruella, Jurassic World Dominion, The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Pacific Rim, Top Gun Maverick, The Last of Us series, Halo series, Game of Thrones series, Transformers 4 on blu ray 3D, Life of Pi on blu ray 3D, Wrath of the Titans on blu ray 3D, Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass on blu ray 3D, Narnia The Voyage of the Down Treader on blu ray 3D, Again Pacific Rim and the two Avatar on blu ray 3D, first Doctor Strange on blu ray 3D, first two chapter of the Guardians of The Galaxy and Ant Man on blu ray 3D...
Batman the dark knight, batman the dark knight rises, aquaman, avengers end game, batman vs super man, first man, jurassic park falling down, godzilla, dunkirk
I choose to watch all my 4K movies full screen except for IMAX as I cant haha . I dont need black bars! I really enjoyed Transformers The Last Knight, it was FUN! but I didn't like how the screen aspect ratio kept on changing rapidly all the time to 3 different sizes. I would prefer to watch it on full screen. I dont mind watching the other IMAX movies how they were but I still just prefer to watch all my 4K Movies full screen.
Great atmos staff in interstellar did I miss something, I thought nolan is not into atmos, just 5.1 dts. ? Joker was not shot in imax format ?to be fair looks better than most of the films on your list, and it's presented in full aspect ratio all the time.
I know it's not uhd bluray but there is also Spiderman Far from home and homecoming on Imax enhanced streaming services. It's funny you make this video now as i bought myself an 85" Samsung qled for xmas and the black bars seem enormous. So much so that I've been looking for variable aspect ratio content, I've purchased every single one of these on 4k over the past couple of months plus A beautiful planet. My absolute favourite being Aquaman, I'm just waiting for Paramount and Sony pictures to release 100 plus Imax enhanced UHDs in 2021 like they promised.
That is Nolan's personal artistic decision. Still, his movies tend to have solid 5.1 audio mixes, including Oppenheimer (which would definitely be top 10, maybe even No. 1, if this list were redone today).
I missed IMAX in the title and was expecting to see Christopher Nolan's The Prestige in list but no. I'd still be interested in your thoughts on the 4K The Prestige? Wonderful movie and The Illusionist came out in the same year, 2006, I bet that was not a coincidence, more likely spying.
From now I know I will not buy a Blu-ray 4K unless it’s IMAX enhanced we should all do the same so we can force down the street to make 4K Blu-ray’s that fit our entire TV screen enough of this black bar shit
@@therealshanelee Yes sir! The first Pacific Rim 4k Blu Ray is in full screen, 1:85 ratio, (no black bars). I remember seeing it in IMAX 3D, it was mind blowing! Blu Ray 3D, equally as incredible. BTW, huge fan of your channel, just had to throw this one in there because it's my favorite 3D or 4K full screen transfer.
@@therealshanelee The Red Epic cameras, yes. But the film showed in IMAX and IMAX 3D during its theatriacl run. So technically it, could qualify for the list....yes? come one bro, gimme some love, dang!
What the guys say about this movie makes me want to watch it again but now that I remember the plot, I'm like "Nope. I don't think I can sit through that shit again".
First man drops like a rock below 40hz. I don't know what was rattling. It's even worse than Disney. Rattling the house was interstellar. First man mix was meh. really disappointing.

Really appreciate these videos.
Funny thing about last knight and aquaman is that both of them are switching between 1:85 and 2:40....
What happens with IMAX scenes when you have a 2.35:1 screen? Do you cut the top and bottom and do you still get that IMAX feeling?
How to watch IMAX format movies at home. is there any medium to watch..?
What qualifies for a IMAX scene thou ? Does it have to be filmed using an IMAX film camera or it can be any digital camera like the Alexa just without the black bars ?
Do these iTunes version of these films have the imax feed too? Or only on the discs?
I know the imax scenes of MI: Fallout, The Last Knight, and Star Trek are on iTunes too
Batman films don’t have the imax on iTunes. But they do have Dolby Vision which the discs don’t
@@JohnV2016 I don’t recall Star Trek having the IMAX scenes on iTunes? When I saw it I was quite disappointed with the quality until I got the disc with the IMAX added
@@Dave-zk4fv I meant transformers the last Knight, and that sucks about into darkness with no imax scenes on itunes. I have it there but never really watched it from itunes since I got that blu ray disc with the imax scenes
Dark knight has to be number 1.
Awesome movie
I’m ready to come to do my top 10
Can you help me to set up my calibration level for my 9.2.4 set up ,kin
Fly advice what level I should fix ,thankyou
Are any of these IMAX Enhanced versions?
16:9 is not IMAX, 2.35:1 is cinemascope. The crime is when they take Imax and make it 16:9 and then mix it with 2.35 scenes. For these movies like Aquaman I zoom it to fill a 143" 2.35 cinemascope screen and then blank out the top and bottom as I hate changing aspect ratios for Imax.
Zack Snyder used 1.33:1 (Very Close to Imax) for his cut of the Justice League and this I liked.
I just wish they had Imax on the final pyramid scene. It will be spectacular. And how about Interstellar? I think it is better Imax film than Tenet.
When Av recivers say they support imax, what does that means when imax isn't a sound but a picture quality.
Johnny Jones: It's both. Like DD and DTS before it, (although DTS was only for sound),but good luck finding any discs with it. I suppose they include it for the eventual release of said discs with the codec. Like most things that are manufactured, they like to add "stuff" that you may or may not use or want, just to make it look impressive to the average consumer. My understanding is that you can set up your system in a Imax configuration and have a matrixed, instead of a discrete soundstage when using it. I haven't read enough on it to have a full understanding as of this time, since it hasn't been fully been embraced. There are a few reviews of AVR's on youtube that explain this better. G
Interstellar is definitely my number one. The opening scene from Dark Knight is amazing as well. I watched Aquaman the other day but my TV isn't very good at HDR and it's a bit small but it also looked crazy...
I think I watched Fallout on Netflix... or some streaming service. First one I'd watched since number two at the cinema. Loved it. I've added it to my list.
Oh men, when you do have a tv for it, Aquaman is awesome. Hdr is just great.
Heard that Interstellar is similar to the normal BluRay. I compared the ITunes 4K HDR and its pretty similar to my BluRay.
@@Milan-cf1xe are you on the Whirlpool forum talking about 4k Blu-ray?
@@leapingtortoise I saw screengrabs from the Interstellar BluRay 1080p vs 4k BluRay and the difference wasnt huge. Did you test them yourself?
@@Milan-cf1xe I think there's a bump in detail (although my eyesight isn't great), particularly in the IMAX scenes. I think HDR and wide colour gamut do more (at least for me) which make the picture better, although it can be touch darker
"First Man" it's the actual first step on the Lunar surface, if I remember correctly..??
Yeah, it switches to IMAX as soon as they open the hatch. Probably the most effective use of the format I've ever seen.
@@Lanezy Agreed, clever use of a Silent Audio track too at that moment. Kinda surprised the reviewers didn't remember.
Sony MDR 1A. one of the best headophones
The Dark Knight Rises is the best not the worst
Bro Shane. You have 2.35 screen. So what do you feel about side bars. Playing imax movie ?
Same way you probably feel about black bars on your TV 😁
@@therealshanelee I meant. You rather have bars on top or side ? 😃
There is very little in the way of movies with IMAX. Maybe less than 20 hollywood films on disc. Not exactly sure I haven't counted but it's not many. So having side bars only comes up a couple times a year. It's not a big deal.
@@therealshanelee thank you bro 😊. 2.35.1 it is for me.
I don’t think any Nolan films have atmos, I’m pretty sure Interstellar doesn’t anyway.
Nolan movies come with DTS Master Audio 5.1 unfortunately
@@nismorat has anybody asked him why he doesnt do Atmos or DTS X?
@@luisd7636 Atmos is not compatible with film projection so he doesn't want to give the digital presentations of his movies any advantages. You can't pair it with 35/70mm prints, so he wants to follow that.
@@yospidey0078 thx!
@@yospidey0078 Nolan filmmaking is niche and old school and I love that.
Hie ,I meant test tone level ( is it also called calibration level , ) ,can u help me to advise what level I need to fix for my 9.2.4 . Thanking you
I’m sorry but Pacific Rim is the best looking 4K hands down…
Great list but that should of got the #1 spot 4 sure!☝️🤓🎈
"Fun Fact" I had an in-person conversation with an OSCAR Winner, remaining nameless, in 2019, who worked on Dark Knight Rises/Nolan Movies.... We both agree DKR is a better/more epic film than DK, ...but that's just our opinion.
Even though I loved the TDK, I saw TDKR at the first show, midnight the night before release on true imax at smithsonian with a full crowd of full on enthusiasts. It's my fave moviegoing experience and I doubt it will ever be topped
@@shahryarrizvi1 Fantastic experience I'd imagine! Although TDK appears to be the most loved amongst fans, for me it goes against the grain of most Nolan Movies i.e. it's quite a linear timeline, unlike BB and TDKR... if I recall correctly?
Here I am waiting and trying to score a PS5 just so I can finally jump to 4k and enjoy some 4k Blu-ray movies...
Dark Knight is the best superhero movie ever made😍😍😍
Next Star Trek Trilogy title ideas...
1. Star Trek Begins
2. Star Trek: The Darkness
3. Star Trek: The Darkness Rises
Except for films that are not related to one another storywise, any of you feels cheapen when a physical disc box art says "N-film/movie collection." It sounds like a pirated movie and it does not look good when displayed on the shelf. For me, I think its better to put "Saga" or any other distinguishing title in the covers, like the Hunger Games Saga, Star Trek: the Kelvin Timeline, Pirates of the Carribean: The adventures of Jack Sparrow etc. They could also put "Complete Series"/"Complete Chronicle" when its a TV series. I have no problem if its in the reverse box art so as not to alienate the other buyers
Others stunning "full screen" movies there are (for example) Gemini Man, Avatar and Avatar the Way of Water, The Flash, Barbie, Bumblubee, Cruella, Jurassic World Dominion, The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Pacific Rim, Top Gun Maverick, The Last of Us series, Halo series, Game of Thrones series, Transformers 4 on blu ray 3D, Life of Pi on blu ray 3D, Wrath of the Titans on blu ray 3D, Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass on blu ray 3D, Narnia The Voyage of the Down Treader on blu ray 3D, Again Pacific Rim and the two Avatar on blu ray 3D, first Doctor Strange on blu ray 3D, first two chapter of the Guardians of The Galaxy and Ant Man on blu ray 3D...
Have you done a list of top 20-50 must own 4k disc that’s worth buying
Batman the dark knight, batman the dark knight rises, aquaman, avengers end game, batman vs super man, first man, jurassic park falling down, godzilla, dunkirk
I love Dunkirk cuz it looks so good and sounds GREAT. Could be better but idk how the story would be better
We need un updated video
I choose to watch all my 4K movies full screen except for IMAX as I cant haha . I dont need black bars! I really enjoyed Transformers The Last Knight, it was FUN! but I didn't like how the screen aspect ratio kept on changing rapidly all the time to 3 different sizes. I would prefer to watch it on full screen. I dont mind watching the other IMAX movies how they were but I still just prefer to watch all my 4K Movies full screen.
Great atmos staff in interstellar did I miss something, I thought nolan is not into atmos, just 5.1 dts. ? Joker was not shot in imax format ?to be fair looks better than most of the films on your list, and it's presented in full aspect ratio all the time.
No Bumblebee on the list? That opening fight scene on cybertron in IMAX should of got it towards the top of the list alone
I don't believe that has switching aspect ratios.
@@therealshanelee no, its widescreen 1.78:1 start to finish, are they not IMAX shots?
@@Baxwar2092 they are not.
@@therealshanelee thanks for clearing that up dude.
I know it's not uhd bluray but there is also Spiderman Far from home and homecoming on Imax enhanced streaming services. It's funny you make this video now as i bought myself an 85" Samsung qled for xmas and the black bars seem enormous. So much so that I've been looking for variable aspect ratio content, I've purchased every single one of these on 4k over the past couple of months plus A beautiful planet. My absolute favourite being Aquaman, I'm just waiting for Paramount and Sony pictures to release 100 plus Imax enhanced UHDs in 2021 like they promised.
Christopher Nolan is doing us a huge disservice. By not giving us dolby atmos with his movies
That is Nolan's personal artistic decision. Still, his movies tend to have solid 5.1 audio mixes, including Oppenheimer (which would definitely be top 10, maybe even No. 1, if this list were redone today).
good list, DUNKIRK is Nolan's only masterpiece
After Oppenheimer?
People hate in Disney for the sake of it. Not because they care. Hare band wagon is a real thing
DK is a slow snoozfest.
Rises is the best of the trilogy.
Way more amazing imax scenes in Rises as well.
lol
So basically Chris Nolan haha
Besides spare change and brass tax who's the older guy?
I missed IMAX in the title and was expecting to see Christopher Nolan's The Prestige in list but no. I'd still be interested in your thoughts on the 4K The Prestige? Wonderful movie and The Illusionist came out in the same year, 2006, I bet that was not a coincidence, more likely spying.
Is the PS5 capable of outputting IMAX?
Yes, it should
If it can play 4k then it can play imax
Yes but no atmos tho
@@renanhaanstra3118 The PS5 does Atmos. There’s a few videos showing you how to enable it. I’m wondering if it does DTS X though.
I thought this was an imax enhanced list
It is...
Tron legacy and hunger games catching fire are in imax but just the blu-ray version not 4k.
Looks like there is a discussion going having on Rocket Science 😁🤓
Kool aid man 11:12
Dark Knight Rises
Shane's insane. Dark Knight Rises looks spectacular in every way and is the best of the Nolan trilogy.
Tom Cruise is 58 - (7/3/62)
DID HE JUST SAY BATMAN FOREVER OVER THE DARK KNIGHT RISES??? WHY IS THE DARK KNIGHT RISES SO HATED????
And yes you got the hate ... DKNR was fine for me
From now I know I will not buy a Blu-ray 4K unless it’s IMAX enhanced we should all do the same so we can force down the street to make 4K Blu-ray’s that fit our entire TV screen enough of this black bar shit
Yeah I hope they would the arrival of imax enhanced releases
But sadly nothing since what Dunkirk?
No way on earth the first Pacific Rim isn't on this list.
This is an IMAX list.
@@therealshanelee Yes sir! The first Pacific Rim 4k Blu Ray is in full screen, 1:85 ratio, (no black bars). I remember seeing it in IMAX 3D, it was mind blowing! Blu Ray 3D, equally as incredible. BTW, huge fan of your channel, just had to throw this one in there because it's my favorite 3D or 4K full screen transfer.
@@lostangel078 they used RED cameras. Not IMAX.
@@therealshanelee The Red Epic cameras, yes. But the film showed in IMAX and IMAX 3D during its theatriacl run. So technically it, could qualify for the list....yes? come one bro, gimme some love, dang!
Pacific Rim is imax start to finish.
It's not an imax movie. It's 1.85 that's all.
Hunger Games Catching Fire
Aspect ratio doesn't change on the disc.
I definitely agree with The Last Knight but it’s sad that the movie itself is so fucking bad.
What the guys say about this movie makes me want to watch it again but now that I remember the plot, I'm like "Nope. I don't think I can sit through that shit again".
How can AQUAMAN be in both your top 10 in 2019 and 2020???
It isn't.
Pacific Rim
Is interstellar atmos???
Nope
I thought Dunkirk was better then Tenet
No Greatest Showman? 🤦🏾♂️
Go watch Vincent's video on why it's the best looking 4k blu-ray.
You understand this is a list of IMAX movies right? It's in the title.
Was 1917 shot in IMAX?
You forgot Pacific Rim first film
It's not an imax disc.
First man drops like a rock below 40hz. I don't know what was rattling. It's even worse than Disney.
Rattling the house was interstellar. First man mix was meh. really disappointing.
