Nolan is too dedicated to his filmmaking; broke 3 IMAX cameras in his career (to obviously create some classics)😭, but still didn't let go, and gave us OPPENHEIMER as a result. Glad you watched it how it was meant to be, unlike most of us chumps here
There is 1 true IMAX theater left in the Chicago land area called "Cinemark Seven Bridges and IMAX" in Woodridge. They may potentially show INTERSELLAR in 15/70mm for the 10th anniversary later this year. Keep an eye out. 👍
I recently had the incredible opportunity to watch Oppenheimer at a 70mm IMAX theater here in London. The experience was absolutely mind-blowing! I've heard that the Dual Laser 4K IMAX theaters also maintain the same aspect ratio of 1.43:1 and offer improved blacks and colors, though they can't quite match the breathtaking detail of 70mm IMAX film. Imagining a future with IMAX digital cameras capable of capturing 18K footage is truly exciting, as it could bring this astonishing format into the mainstream for more people to enjoy.
Just realized how lucky I am that I live literally a block away from a cinema show 70mm IMAX
I saw it in laser IMAX yesterday and it was amazing, the picture was so bright. I still want to try and get down to London and see it in 15/70 at the BFI or Science Museum before its run ends, cause it sounds like it’s a whole different experience.
It really is. I was insanely skeptical before seeing 15/70, but geez, it’s completely different
Trust me… it’s not as bright as 70mm IMAX
Travelling 700km is some serious dedication bro. Impressive 👏. Nice editing btw.
I flew almost 2600 miles from HNL to LAX to watch this film. I am going to be critical, but my overall experience is still great.
I watched this at Universal AMC IMAX. My seat was K14.
Not so good:
- I did not know that the seat level were too low, so it feels like the screen is tilted upwards.
- The sound was too loud, to the point that it kind of ruined my experience.
- There were times that a spec of dust of dirt was in front of the lens of the projector, and it kind of distracted for some moment.
The good:
- The sheer amount of detail when it's showing the scene shot on IMAX 15-70mm. You can't see any image noise or grain. It was just breathtaking and jaw dropping. You can clearly see the difference of image quality between the scenes shot on IMAX 15-70mm and those that are not.
- The size of the screen almost consumes my whole point of view. I estimate 95° of my horizontal view from where I was seated (K14). It was immersive.
I'm in NYC, just just just found a single ticket for the best seat in the house for tomorrow morning IMAX 70mm. Super excited and even more psyched after watching this.
I saw the true Imax version in the Indiana theater, which has almost everything you experienced in Atlanta, the picture was incredible and the sound crystal clear with no distortion (an LFX version was distorted). Indiana has the tiny cramped seats though.
What seats did you get for 70mm screening? I saw Oppenheimer in imax laser, and was amazed. Would love to check out dune 2 in imax 70mm. I live in san fran, and there’s one 70mm imax right next to me 😅. (I am on vacation now, not at home so there was no imax 70mm near me) What seat should I get for the best experience in imax 70mm ?
anywhere in the middle is good. definitely not first three rows. I sat fourth row, probably 2-3 seats from the end. Was perfect.
One thing to consider is that it has to have been filmed with IMAX film to get what's described in this video. Most films with the expanded ratio aren't and are being projected digitally (in which case you're better off with a dual laser IMAX setup for better picture quality).
I wasn't aware myself and had written off the proper IMAX screens as a waste of money. I didn't know I'd been doing the equivalent of listening to a mono recording on a Dolby Atmos sound system 😁.
If in doubt, search for the film online followed by "tech specs" and you can see what cameras were used and the aspect ratios used in the film.
If you haven't already booked your tickets, you're probably not going to get to choose your seats, you'll have to take whatevers available.
Almost everything you said is theater specific. Saw it at the Universal Riverwalk in LA, 70MM IMAX and the experience was amazing but the seats were overly tight and crowded. You literally have to stand up to let people pass in front of you. Worst part of the experience, but still amazing.
same in Indiana
Appreciate the effort
I'm very curious what seats you had in the theater. I saw it in 1570, and while it was definitely cool, I didn't get any of the feeling of motion or feeling like the particles were coming out of the screen. A lot of the dialog was also hard for me to catch too, especially when the soundtrack was loud.
I was seated about 1/4 of the way in from the edge, 4 rows back. Were your seats more in the center? Very curious to know.
*edit, saw in another comment that you were a couple seats from the end, so not in the middle. That's so weird, I wonder if each theater is just different. Cuz while it was cool, I didn't get a really "immersive" feeling and was actually left feeling a bit disappointed.
Although afterwards the projectionists let me into the projector room and showed me all the equipment, which honestly was the best part of the experience. They were really cool guys.
Great video!
Not to toot my own horn but i am very spoiled when it comes to movie theaters in California, we have 7 IMAX theaters in this state showing the IMAX 70mm version, as well as 4D theaters, screen x theaters and many more formats I can’t even name. Meanwhile other people drove a long way or even flew to see this movie in a premium format!
love that 4 u
ooooft, that's dedication.... The nearest Imax 70mm screening was 3.5 hours drive for me... too far.... so I did the next best thing, and saw it twice on opening day.... once imax laser, once in (non Imax) 70mm film.
Kudos to you for the video, and the dedication!
Of those two which did you prefer?
@@MichaelBriggs3 I'd day the imax one probably edged it for me.
Finally someone who tell the Difference very clear. I always have to travel 1000km to London to see IMAX 70mm:)
To the Movie, it was exact the same for me, only at the 2nd Time wahtiching i realized what a damn good movie it really is. What an historic experience, thanks Nolan. Hope IMAX 15/70 fights his way back where it belongs, the crown of cinema
Fun video. Did your imax offer a visual your of the film room loading & change? Its amazing to see
no :/
Just snagged tickets for a 6am showing tomorrow. 70mm IMAX. I'm so excited.
6am ???
I couldn’t find any 6AM showings, but it would fit into the standard 10/2/6/10 pattern
@@ryanleshockYes, 6am. TCL Chinese Theater. I believe they added a showing bc majority of seats have been sold out since opening. I just happened to be in the area for work.
@@TheStabbyCyclist Wow, that’s really interesting. Let me know how it goes!!
I flew to Phoenix Arizona all the way from Tennessee to see it cause no seats at Nashville. Harkins Theatres Arizona Mills 18 w/IMAX 70 by 80 ft screen was awesome
i love that
Also saw it in 70mm IMAX! (Ontario, Cali) A magical experience!
Highly recommend seeing Interstellar in the format if you have the chance if it gets re-released!
Ryan, I can't imagine watching Oppenheimer twice, that's insane. My first real IMAX experience was in Florida in 2013 when Man of Steel first came out. Also, what's this super secret work in Atlanta hmm🧐?
it’s super secret zayne 😂😩😤😫
Wow really? I left that theater and almost immediately wanted to watch it again, it was so damn good!!
My first 70mm IMAX experience was at MOSI in Tampa when they had the dome theater. It was the year 2000 and I was 8 years old. I remember the picture filled my whole vision and the picture clarity was overwhelming, to the point that when the picture tilted, it felt like I was leaning over, like some weird involuntary reflex. But, I was so young at the time that it was too much to process, and I couldn't fully appreciate what I was really witnessing.
Oppenheimer really was the most vivid and spectacular cinematic experience of my life. Digital IMAX is like watching 240p video on UA-cam when compared to 70mm IMAX film.
Really Inspiring and awesome video. I saw it the other day in one of these LIEmax theaters with 70mm, however not it this 15 perf style. I Thought it was cool to watch the movie this way on film, and could definitely sometimes see the enhanced quality. But overall it confused me that Nolan, believed that THIS was a MUST when watching this movie. Even though the seats were nice, and the screen was big, it was never really immersive. I really wanted to know what it was like in a true IMAX theatre. However i live in Denmark, and the closest IMAX Theatre is in the UK, so that ain't happening. But this video really describes it well, and i might wanna try one of these IMAX theatres in the future. Sounds like and awesome experience. Especially when you get to watch Oppenheimer.
I’m so glad that I was able to get the experience across in this video. The best way I can describe it is like going on one of those rollercoasters that are set in front of a huge screen - except in imax the seats don’t move.
I hardly can believe @nisle6230 can relate to that rollercoaster experience in Denmark. Really, in front of a screen? You crazy Americans 😉
Here in the Netherlands the IMAX screen height is 33 feet (only a handful locations) without 70mm or 70mm (only two places in the country) but smaller screens 16 feet height. Complete different experience.
This country just lacks square meters in general.
Long story short: I'm very thankful you shared your experience with us and made us able to enjoy it with you.
@@AdindaQvery true. rollercoaster in front of a screen is a crazy concept 😅
IMAX xenon, imax 70mm and 70mm are 3 distinct formats. In which one did you see it?
That’s legit the local IMAX theater I usually go to in Illinois 😂
rip
I hope they still fire this thing in SFO on September
I saw the movie in 70mm, and some of the audio did seem garbled. I got tickets to see it in 70mm15 perf Imax at the Museum of Science and Discovery in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. A 2.5 hour drive. I can't wait.
let me know how it goes!!
Its so funny seeing this when the BFI is 20 minutes away from me😂
did u go
Hell yesss
Rest in peace Randall 15 IMAX in Batavia, IL. Best IMAX in the Midwest.
no illinois theaters :'(
We had a 70mm IMAX theater in Connecticut. Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk. I've been in there once when I was little, the experience was out of this world. Too bad they tore it down back in 2021 to make room for a new railroad bridge. 😭
Awhh, why they be tearing these down?? ://
@@ryanleshock Idk, and it's a bummer.
I already watched it on 1570 IMAX 3 times. Maybe I am really in love with this film, gonna watch it again later this month. Or maybe I am just a psycho.
Wow thats amazing. any differences you noticed between each time?
@@ryanleshock Well, 1) the audio differences between digital IMAX and 70 mm IMAX film is as noticeable as the visual. 2) The 70 mm IMAX film has a brighter sound signature, that makes the dialog easier to catch. The digital IMAX is bassier, which is more dramatic and immersive if you already know the plot. 3) the crowds made a big different. All the 1570 IMAX were 99% packed, while digital IMAX was 40% packed. It is very annoying when someone in the front row turn on their phone screen, even just for 5 sec. I booked another 1570 IMAX at 10pm Tuesday 3 week ahead, and hope fewer people would come, but unfortunately, when I checked today, it was 90% full again.
i wish i was that rich that i could fly somewhere to see it we drove 8 hours to see it in 15/70 imax and it was dark and out of focus it was still cool but a let down cause it looked like vhs at our IMAX theater
dang im sorry to hear that :/
I just saw it Oppenheimer at IMAX 70MM at Irvine Ca , 🤯
:)) how was it
@@ryanleshock perfect 🙌🏻😊
The nearest theater for me would be 3000 miles away. I didn't think it would be worth it for this kind of movie. I was wrong, and now it's too late. Even if I was crazy enough to fly there and watch it for the 3rd time just for that 15/70 experience, the only seats left are ones in first row or the far left/right of the auditorium, as almost all showings are sold out . I hope Nolan's next movie would be as epic and full of IMAX footage as this one. By then I'll buy and fly as early as possible.
First row defintely would suck a lot. Not s good experience. Nolan and IMAX will defintely return.
are you sure you missed it? the film should have a 100 day window, but maybe the theater you're looking at is different
@@ryanleshock Well, so far you can only book until August 31st, and even by then it’s packed like hell - only seats left are for the front. My only hope is that they’ll open more showings for September at some point. I’ll happen to be close by so maybe something could be arranged.
In 2 weeks I’m going to fly 1000 miles just to watch it in London. It had better be worth it
It will be, just make sure your brain is fully turned on and you will be fine, cuz it’s 3 hours of intense dialogue. Once ur in the zone, 3 hours feel more like 2 to me. It was so damn well written
Well said
@@thecinematicconstructor Sorry I was kinda joking. I have actually watched it twice already, and it’s become my favorite movie of all time. I studied physics and I used to be interested in the History of the Manhattan project, so I was that one dude explaining stuff to his friends mid-movie.
So now for real, I’m soooo hyped up about watching it in IMAX print in London. God knows it’ll be f**ng worth it 😎
@@alvaronavarro4890enjoy!!!
Hopefully it's the BFI, the Science Museum has a very unfortunately placed railing that blocks the bottom of the screen.
I got my ticket for the only IMAX venue in continental europe. I live here, I'll be there in 20 minutes 😂
Love that for you. Let me know how it goes
You live in Praha?
@@AdindaQ Yes 😁
I live in India and I have to be satisfied with Liemax and that's the truth. Can't be spending close to $3K.
3k is like a month of rent in chicago lol
I managed to watch only in my regular neighborhood IMAX 😭 it was still beautiful though
it was good, thank just didn’t know what i was missing until i KNEW
They must have updated those seats at Mall of Georgia… when I watched Interstellar almost 10 years ago the seats weren’t that good, also the film print was very dirty surprisingly.
yeah those seats were pretty luxurious
Cinema truly died when it went digital. 😢 You young people need to start shooting on film.
its crazy expensive
@@ryanleshock Well that’s what you had to do back in the day if you wanted something great… and now too. Are you content with mediocrity? The deterioration and dilution of beautiful art? Buy a cheaper super 8 camera, then 16mm. Do something to keep the format and other things you care about alive. Inspire future generations to do the same thing or a few years down the line, no one will give a flying shit. The only reason film is not around anymore, and also very expensive is because nobody uses it anymore.
In 2019 I flew 2000 miles just to see interstellar in imax for the 4th time at a rescreening in London and you don't see me bragging about it in a shitty video. Some plebs these days just have to share every fart they pass...
nah you should’ve filmed it and made a better video, i’d watch!
Why are you burring IMAX xenon like that ? Bad audio? Poor visual quality? Bad seat? The speakers are more/less the same between 15/70mm and imax xenon. Sure 2k is not as sharp as (estimated) 18k but it is something. Bad seats are a theatre problem. I respect 15/70 mm even though there is no such venue in my country. This doesn't mean IMAX xenon is not good. You still get 26% more screen than normal theatre.
yes, versus a normal theater you are correct. but this is comparing laser to 15/70
try sitting at first row
i knoww, the way it distorts faces is so funny
