    Saw it last night in Indianapolis one of the 30 theaters in America. It was the full IMAX 70mm projection. It truly was one of the greatest pieces of film I've watched and experienced. The shots were absolutely immersive and breathtaking. Outside of Nolan's genius, it was just a stunning experience. Truly the most true format for cinema.

    I am lucky enough to live only 2 hours away from Hollywood. It is going to be great seeing this movie on 70mm IMAX at 1245 am. For so many reasons this film seems to have great timing. Coldwar basically defined my childhood, older now and living in a country with the largest military spending is crazy (40% is Defense 877 Billion$). We could be gone tomorrow, or not. This will be impressive to see, thank you Nolan.

    I’m going to see it in IMAX 70mm but if that wasn’t available near me I’d go for 70mm (non IMAX) film. I’d rather have the higher resolution offered by that format than the taller but lower resolution image of the digital IMAX versions. Nolan has been careful to frame the film so that it also works well in the wider aspect ratio of standard 70mm film

    July 21st Review: So I just got out of the theatre from Oppenheimer and wow. The photography and the actors we’re phenomenal. And the visuals without any CGI looked breathtaking. All that in 70mm IMAX format was insane. 10/10 for me.

      @@cordlesscorde4860 yes I highly recommend it. You haven’t truly seen a Christopher Nolan movie until you’ve seen it in 70mm. The screen is much bigger, the sound is impeccable and the image is the highest quality I’ve ever seen. It’s so unbelievably sharp. It’s also a cool feeling to know you’re seeing the image actually projected on film and that the film itself is up in the projection room. It’s not just a digital file. It’s special. If Nolan is your favorite director you really gotta go

  • @tsegulin
    @tsegulin 8 місяців тому

    I've worked in camera, in the lab and in vfx post production and I've always loved the colours and tones that Eastmancolor can produce.
    I have no argument with the notion that the resolution of IMAX is the highest cinema format in the world and that given the right subject which visually exploits all that detail, it would be the ideal format.
    Bear in mind though that shooting in IMAX is extremely expensive compared with the already high cost of 35mm or digital. The massive cameras and associated cranes, dollies and other equipment make it an especially cumbersome format for production. The colour positive prints are extremely expensive, require a lot of pre-projection handling and Oppenheimer's long running time required that projector platters be enlarged. The sound track mentioned in the video comes from a digital disk, not the film (this rather recalls the old Warner Brothers Vitaphone sound process - God help them if they ever get out of sync) so it would be the same for either a film or digital screening. Is the best reason to see a film in IMAX is the sound track? I sure hope not!
    I saw Oppenheimer in (digital projected) IMAX and while I thought it was a good story, well told I just didn't see the need for it to have been shot it in IMAX.
    It could have been just as visually impacting shot on 35mm or with hi-rez digital cameras. For me, IMAX was pure indulgence on this film.
    I suppose you could argue that without Nolan's films, 65mm would simply die out and that might well be true but IMHO this exceptional format should be saved for something more visually overwhelming. Epics like "Napoleon" or "Barry Lyndon" or "Flags of our Fathers"/"Letters from Iwo Jima" or "2001: A Space Odyssey" come to mind, not something like Oppenheimer which for the most part is about people talking, usually in B+W with a few explosion vfx cuts.

    The format I viewed the film in was regular 70mm. I do have an AMC and a Showcase Cinema that had a liemax version, however these cinemas were converted into liemax. The closest IMAX version was at a furniture store in MA, however it can become a WWF match for seating as it is first come first serve. Had a sore neck watching Interstellar due to having no choice but sitting very close to the screen at this location. Film had started yet individuals were still trying to find seats. The honest to god best format was in Providence, RI but each way was a 45 minute drive and that would be if traffic was perfect on the highway. And that it never is.

      First they had the version with the 2x 2K projectors and the old 6 channel soundsystem that sometimes got too loud and too bright. Acoustics also was not so good. 5 years ago they rebuild from the ground up with 4K Laser, new screen, new 12 track soundsystem and great Acoustics. I was fortunate enough to see movies like The Dark Knight and Transformers 2 in IMAX with 70mm film. In Amsterdam they had the IMAX film projector. Unfortunately, it just wasn't sustainable anymore and now all IMAX cinemas in the Netherlands are IMAX Digital, but at least they are all with 4K Laser and the 12 track soundsystem. 🙂

    Which is better-(1) Watching the 70mm film version of Oppenheimer from a “bad seat” (which are fairly plentiful in a typical theater of this type, be it too close or off to the side), or (2) Watching the film in an IMAX digital theater from a good seat in the house, which I suspect is easier to reserve.

    Are there 70 mm non-film formats? The reason I ask is because here in the Phoenix area 2 AMC locations and 1 Harkins location show 70mm showings but only the Harkins location is listed on the IMAX website as on of the 30 locations? Any thoughts?

    • @timtyler8822
      @timtyler8822 11 місяців тому +1

      There’s quite a lot of different formats! 70mm IMAX is the top one (30 locations) but there is also standard 70mm analogue film which isn’t as tall as IMAX but has a higher resolution that the digital formats. Then there are the digital IMAX versions that have the tall image but are only 4K or 2K resolution depending on the location.

      @@timtyler8822 I was able to get tickets to one of the 30 screenings here in Phoenix. According to the Theater rep I spoke with, it is film which 2 other locations here have as well, but the other locations don’t have the same sized theaters as the 30 locations. Kind of getting the best of all worlds with the certified locations on there website I guess. In any case if you get to see a film print it’ll be a special thing I think.

    I have a question, I bought my tickets for Oppenheimer in IMAX with Lazer which means it's gonna be 1.9:1 on the screen. And everywhere I go I see that it's produced to watch in 70mm which is 1,43:1. So my question is, what's resolution will be better and if there is any difference between this formats?

    • @MovieUniversity

      The resolution for the 70mm will be immensely higher and will show more image because of the taller aspect ratio. Unfortunately there’s only 30 locations world wide showing in 70mm

    Chris Nolan has mentioned that he’s using 70 mm film to shoot the Imax part. I wonder what kind of conversion process of that film that the film crew shoots vs what we get in the digital Imax screening?
    is the quality will be the same? what kind of difference do we get if we get any?

    • @MovieUniversity
      @MovieUniversity  11 місяців тому +2

      If you see the movie in laser than you'll get the full 1.43:1 aspect ratio. so there will be no cropping. If you see the movie in digital imax or any other format (Dolby Cinema, Regal RPX, etc.) then you'll be seeing a cropped version of the film because those cinemas are not designed to show the taller aspect ratio. If you see the movie in ANYTHING other than 70mm IMAX film you'll be losing the 18k resolution that IMAX film provides. However, this is standard in the industry. Most movies are shot on 4k-8k cameras and then by the time you see it in theaters or watch at home they're usually reduced to 2k because it's really expensive and time intensive to render visual effects higher than 2k.
