Does this include "IMAX with Laser"?

I still say we need to have a sticky just for figuring out IMAX theaters.

Nolan intends for us to see this in IMAX 70mm film screening.

Everyone needs to make an effort to do so. Obviously it's fine if you're limited by time or logistics, so long as you're there opening weekend, but directorial intention matters here and we should try to cooperate.

Every frame was shot using brand-new custom IMAX film cameras (with special soundproofing for dialogue scenes), and it's the first feature filmed entirely this way. In compatible IMAX 70mm theaters, it plays in the expansive 1.43:1 aspect ratio on massive floor-to-ceiling screens, delivering unmatched resolution, detail, immersion, and image quality (roughly equivalent to 16K18K digitally, with the texture and depth only analog film provides IMO….)

Nolan's a vocal champion of practical, large-format film. This setup maximizes the epic scale (battles, voyages, mythical creatures) ….. PLEASE EVERYONE let's try to view on 15-perf 70mm film, horizontal projection

GT Laser IMAX, or Dolby, might be ok but we really need to avoid standard multiplex screens

I have tickets to watch it at Epcot's Soarin' ride. It's actually the only screen Nolan filmed it especially for. Throughout the movie, the audience is sprayed by 83 unique scents ranging from Aegean Fog to Cyclops Sweat.

Look, this isn't complicated:

Nolan uses large-format stocks, such as IMAX 65/70mm and Panavision. This film provides superior resolution, texture, depth. We need to participate here and respect his choices and vision.

I hope the marketing of IMAX doesn't suppress the opening weekend numbers. The movie looks great in 1.85, don't let the IMAX oversell stop you from seeing it in another format.

I'll try to break this down as simply as I can, and let's just stick with the United States to make it easier…

There are 181 total IMAX theaters nationwide.

43 of the 181 total IMAX theaters are full, 1.43:1 IMAX aspect ratio

(basically a "square" screen, with more image vertically)

- Of those 43, 17 are 70mm film IMAX projectors.

- Of those 43, 26 are digital/laser projectors.

136 of the 181 total IMAX theaters are slightly cropped, 1.90:1 IMAX aspect ratio

(basically the same rectangle shape as your TV screen)

- Of those 136, 2 are film IMAX projectors.

- Of those 136, 134 are digital/laser projectors.


Here's IMAX's handy interactive database, with all kinds of customizable filters to see exactly where in the U.S. has exactly which projector / screen size...

1. You didn't answer my simple question. I didn't ask for all of this.

2. Furthermore, that link is false and out of date. We have an IMAX and it doesn't have my state as an option.

3. I depend on you for Hollywood stuff. Do better.

Only one, ONE, true IMAX 1.43:1 screen in the entire state of Florida. And its about 4-5 hrs from me depending on traffic.

Sorry Redstone, Nolan's directorial intention can suck it.

A simple "yes" was all your first question required, but that wouldn't have properly explained the issue.

It was your second sentence that made me think, "I'm going take ten minutes out of my day to try and help this poster, especially considering they're also asking for a sticky of sorts," which is what I figured the link could be a substitute for.

I was trying to be helpful - I don't know how you could interpret that any other way - and this is the response I get?

Are you ****ing kidding me?

And y'all think I'm nuts…

one Christopher Nolan fan tells @BrentALang that she delayed getting pregnant in order to see THE ODYSSEY in Imax 70mm.

Flagged for Harassing or Threatening.

This feels about right to me. Gonna be surprised if it does over $100M this weekend. Somewhere just under that seems more likely…

I’ll say, I feel like $105M is mildly overshooting it if only because some people will ONLY want to watch it on IMAX/Dolby, and there are a limited number of those screens. My personal guess is somewhere between 85-95M … which is still an enormous number! https://t.co/5QE2ruSBxS

Putting The Prestige that low is criminal.

This is how desperate the haters are getting, and reminds me of a certain someone in this thread (not Cliff).

This Omama dude doctored an image to make it look like the most popular theater in Hollywood, if not the world, has hardly sold any tickets for this Saturday night, when it's just the opposite and damn near sold out (which I just confirmed for myself). Not to mention, he stupidly says it's the Chinese Theater IMAX showing when it's not, as the actual IMAX theater is twice as large and at a different time that night (I would know, seeing as I've had tickets for that showing for a year now).

I just... I've never seen anything like this, psychologically. What makes people THIS desperate for a movie to be bad? Why are so many people's identities / world views so tied up in all of this culture war nonsense, including people in this thread? So much so that y'all *need* to spend months ****ting on a Christopher Nolan movie, of all things, before you've even had a chance to see it for yourselves?

The fact u had to edit it makes you such a massive loser. Like it’s genuinely shocking that you care so much that you’d spend time faking something to push a lie. That’s seriously loser and sociopathic behaviour. #TheOdyssey https://t.co/o0ZaVKrfCy pic.twitter.com/vlPW0T4rT5

This thread reminds me of Thomas Sowell's comment about college faculty fights: They are so vicious precisely because the stakes are so low.

How is that distance not drivable?

Sure, it's drivable. But I imagine the vast majority aren't making such a drive to see a movie. Applied to me, that would basically be me leaving my place in Katy, driving 4+ hours to Dallas, and seeing a movie. Why the f would I do that - when I can see the movie anywhere in Houston - unless I was going to north Texas to see our son and grandkids? Even then, I'm not seeing the movie.

Nice app but it is out of date. It doesn't list AMC Katy Mills, which has an IMAX screen and where I will be seeing the movie Saturday morning. I have no idea what aspect ratio their screen is, but very likely is not true IMAX and definitely is not 70mm.

I never got the love for The Prestige. Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie, but people act like it's some wildly underrated gem and his best movie.

Please review my analysis of the screens, and we need to understand here that such aspect ratios make a big difference. It's not a sacrifice to drive for cinema.
