I could make a 2 hour trip to see it in 70mm, or see it in IMAX in my neighborhood. Is the difference significant enough to warrant a special trip?
I’m driving 2hr to see it in 70mm imax. Closest screen is in Vancouver, so we’re making a long weekend trip out of it. I think if you like movies a lot and you want to make your own event out of it, go for it.
We used to have a 70mm theatre in my city and when they’d do events like for epic movies it was incredible. I feel like Oppenheimer might be similar
I saw the Hateful 8 in 70mm, and it was totally worth it. But, it had an intermission, and dialog was easy to follow.
But Nolan films are a different verse l beast, I’m going to wait to watch it at home cause, pause, rewind and subtitles.
Watching movies at home is too good, theaters can’t compare in my personal opinion
You can’t get the experience of watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent with a packed house of strangers who all had no idea what they were in for. Or Everything Everywhere All At Once.
I go to theaters for the social interaction.
Hateful Eight was shot and presented on 5/70 mm film. That’s a frame that is 5 perforations tall and 70mm wide. That gives you about 3.5 times the surface area of standard 35mm film, though at a much wider aspect ratio.
IMAX is 15/70, so the same frame width as 5/70 but three times as tall. Though you actually inverse the width and height metrics because IMAX film is run through the projector horizontally rather than verticallly.
I hope that you enjoy it! I’ve heard that the Vancouver screen in Langley is a bit iffy.
