I have to travel to San Antonio or Dallas to see a movie in 70mm?

Planning to see Oppenheimer I'm guessing? I know nothing about film...what are the benefits of 70mm, as opposed to whatever we have here in the tine?

Your mom's business would suffer too much.

70mm is a higher resolution and higher aspect ratio so you see more of the film.

Didn't the Tomball Regal used to be IMAX 70mm?

I don't believe the screen size at Tomball Regal is true IMAX. The IMAX screen at Edwards Marq'E is true IMAX, but they do not have a 70mm projector.

The only theatre in Houston with a 70mm "regular size" showing is AMC Gulf Pointe 30. This is the best option to see Oppenheimer in the tine.

Enjoy the 2D onscreen carnage/horror, followed by 3D version in the parking lot?

Only 30 theaters worldwide have the 70mm IMAX format.

Once you adjust for the size of San Antonians the screen is actually smaller than here in Houston.

Is the Marqee IMAX down for repair or something? Looking on Regal's site for it, there are no movies showing in that theater.

Yes, that part of the theater is closed for renovations

They've been doing construction on the place for a long time a little bit at time.

I'd like to see it the way he intended, and the way he explains it makes perfect sense for why he chooses that format.

But at the same time, I'm not driving any further than my favorite AMC, so I'll just have to see what formats they have it in. The variety of formats available today kind of annoys me, even though I know that variety should be a good thing in theory.
