Honestly, I would worry less about 70mm and more about it being in 1.43:1. The latter is the real draw, and what gives it that giant, immersive feel. Personally, if I were seeing it in 1.90:1 IMAX I could not care less if it was in 70mm or not, as laser is damn good too.

100%. I was not prepared for the difference on something like Dunkirk for instance. After watching at Bullock solo, I was very disappointed when I drug the family to the drafthouse with standard ~16:9 ratio. It was completely and totally underwhelming.

Had the same feeling last night. It's a totally different experience.

According to that Wiki link there are five 1.43:1 IMAX screens in Texas, which is more than I thought. One in each of Austin, Dallas, and Houston, and then two in San Antonio.

---

And of these, according to wiki at least, only Austin and San Antonio are giant format screens. No idea how accruate that may be.

---

Looks like we will try to go to San Antonio then. Closest one I can get to.

imax size has got to be the most talked about thing on this entire board.

I don’t think we should be seeing this https://t.co/SShbLGGwba

I'm going to decide this was a joke with his role as a Warrior Poet in Gurney Halleck.

Most obvious "username checks out" ever?

But, really, that's going to be awesome

Wrong, this is the most obvious username.

Denis Villeneuve says he won’t ever release any deleted scenes for both ‘DUNE’ films.

Now do schindlers list

TCTTS said:

Ha, missed that. Of course. It's so insanely confusing.

---

Not to make it more confusing but... according to that wiki...

the Regal Edwards Houston Marq*E & IMAX has an aspect of 1.43.1 but is IMAX CoLa. Which they list as single laser and limited to 1.90:1. That's very confusing.

So the screen is 1.43.1 but will only be shown in 1.90? Am I interpreting that correctly?

I assume so since there is a faceapp watermark, whatever that is

Ha, I don't even notice the faces when I posted it. It was the only tweet I could find with the actual dates/times. Yes, that poster is fake/has been run through an app.

I looked up the spoiler based on your post

I love it, it's perfect

No wonder you are so pissy on the daily show thread.

Is it who they think is the count or Alia?

Went down and saw Dune at an imax in ATL yesterday. Was waaaay better than my last theater viewing of it, which was in Africa where the theater downloaded a low quality torrent and zero subtitle files, so anytime they were using the Sardaukar or Fremen languages or using sign language you were totally in the dark. Pretty low bar to be sure, but dang this movie is incredible. Can't wait to see 2.

Lol wow.

I know right. It's like watching scrabbled pron. kinda

Yeah the video quality wasn't the worst thing ever, but I went with two buddies who'd never read or seen any previous iterations of Dune, so they were completely lost. Spent the whole drive home explaining to them what they spent 2 and a half hours staring at.

Basically Ethiopians don't do sci-fi, unless you want to count any Marvel flick set in Wakanda as scifi. So when movies like that come out the theaters rarely have plans to get legit copies from distributors.

Same thing happened with the Mario movie. The only video game anyone plays for the most part is FIFA, so no cultural understanding or love for Mario. They downloaded a torrent that a) had the sound off by about a tenth of a second or so and b) it was in English, but the video itself was a theater hand filmed copy in Portuguese; all the stuff like newspapers, TVs, any other written texts weren't in English. I think a bunch of people showed up opening weekend asking for movie times for Mario and they said "oh crap" and downloaded the first thing they could find.

I'm pretty sure they think it is Alia. I don't think a woman works for that role, and Tim Blake Nelson is supposed to be Fenring.
