We are definitely now firmly in the age of stretching the definition of "IMAX" to the limits for branding purposes i.e. put more butts in seats. Though the page isn't updated anymore, you can see the LieMax vs IMAX pretty clearly when some screens are double the size of others. Then you add in the projector types causing variability, and now you can have a certified "Filmed In IMAX" camera but it could still only be like 4k. Bottom line is, just because it says "filmed for IMAX" do you really think the cameras they're using on Marvels are the same quality as Dune and Oppenheimer?

Post-script: I will be seeing both Marvels and Dune in theaters and I am excited to see both movies.

How many of the marvel movies released in IMAX have actually been shot in IMAX? Like, avengers 1 and one of the Thor movies are the only ones with special IMAX edition releases right?

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Oppenheimer bragging about how they had to invent new tech to fit the filmreel was first time I realized IMAX could still mean actual IMAX any more. I grew up watching those big panoramic immersive films whenever we went to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry as a kid so I got disillusioned pretty quickly when I learned it had been turned into "very big screen". Just sit closer if that's what you need..

I'm just glad the 3D craze is over. I only watched The Hobbit in 3D (because there were no 60 fps showings near me and my friend wanted to do 3D) and the glasses did not fit over my own glasses very well.

What's on your mind, Axa?
I never really thought of IMAX as being much of a thing, since the only time I can think of when I saw a movie (outside of science stuff at museums) in IMAX was Superman Returns. I remember thinking the movie was ok, but also that it obviously wasn't designed for IMAX.

My dad raved about Avatar in 3D but it gave me a splitting eyestrain headache. I tried one or two after that to see if it was all the time and it looks like pulling things back on the screen works fine but bringing them forward is painful. And no movie did just one.

I love a good 3D movie, and I still can’t believe how well the conversion of the original Jaws turned out.

Was bummed that they didn’t do Across the Spiderverse in 3D because the first one looked great.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Sony is delaying an already finished movie by a full year because they think "leading man Taylor-Johnson would need to engage in a worldwide press tour to open the visceral action project."

lol at the idea that Kraven is going to be a $600 million movie or that Aaron Taylor-Johnson doing interviews is going to add $400 million to the box office. Sony must have some extremely good stuff at HQ that the executives are smoking.
It's a sign of weakness, not strength. What they're actually saying is that the movie is bad, they know it, and it doesn't have an snowball's chance in hell without all the big names getting out there and drumming up hype.

Oppenheimer in IMAX was very cool though I'm not convinced that movie really needed it since most of the IMAX shots were just three-story tall shots of Cillian Murphy's face (unless you're into that). Definitely seeing DUNC 2 there. I wish it wasn't a 45 minute drive and no assigned seats tho.

This feels like when Tarantino kept saying that the best way to view The Hateful Eight was in 75mm even though after the opening scene the entire movie is shot in one room

Saw both Hateful 8 and Oppenheimer and Dunkirk in 70 mm and it ruled. I don't mind gimmicky filming as long as it suits the film. Most 3D film sucked because the 3D was done in post as a way to sell higher ticket prices. Avatar in 3D at least added to the immersive experience and could distract from the movie being poo poo.

I saw Hateful Eight in 70mm because my local theater got a copy of it so why the gently caress not. It was a cool novelty and I very much appreciated the intermission, but otherwise nothing I couldn't have gotten out of a nice digital projection. Of course I'm colorblind and I genuinely don't notice framerate unless it's sub-24, so when people start getting into the image quality debate, I stand back, smile politely, and nod.

More movies should have intermissions, though.

Intermissions allow time to discuss the film before it ends thus tarnishing the only time I might form an original independent opinion about anything.

Dunkirk in IMAX has to be quite possibly the loudest film of all time like no poo poo, in fact im pretty sure you could wear earplugs and still make out every single bit of dialog. So I can't even Imagine how loud Oppenheimer is

I did not get the opportunity to see them in Soap Opera Mode, so we'll never know. Tried to poke my head into the theater just to see what it was like, but it was a 3d showing and I didn't have the glasses.

Oppressively so, but intentionally so too. You can usually hear the dialogue, and when the soundtrack amps up into the gently caress YOU levels of rumbling ominousness, it's doing it on purpose to make you feel uncomfortable with what's going on. And, in retrospect, to provide a shocking contrast to the actual atomic blast, which is just a sharp bang.

The 70mm cut is slightly different from the regular version shown in theaters. And the Netflix miniseries cut is a whole other thing, using takes from both versions, and some from neither.
