I wish I lived near a 70MM IMAX. Has anyone seen Oppy in that format? If so, care to share your experience. 

Imo the best format ever. The resolution and size of the screen just pull you in and transport you.

Neither Blunt nor Pugh are given a whole lot to work with, but damn do they both deliver with the material they have

probably a near masterpiece, one of Nolan's best films, but may not have much rematch value . this won't fix Nolan getting criticism with female characters , he nearly wasted Blunt until the final act

 

Neither does he have to. The movie is about Oppenheimer. Not every film has to check off the list and be obliged to give {{fill in the blank}} a certain amount of playing time on the court so to speak. Let them criticize. They're obviously removed from what people care about (as seen by the rave audience reviews and massive boxoffice).

Interesting. Is it like seeing 4K quality TV for the first time?

Its ridiculous comment considering Oppenheimer is going to finish Top 3 or 4 WW on Imax all time. MI7 had mediocre OW even over there. So why does it deserve more if it could not even do well in its OW !!!

Yes. Like jumping from VHS to Blu-ray. These days it seems like digital projection quality has helped create a much smaller visual difference between 70mm IMAX and other viewing formats. In the old days, it was a very noticeable difference.

It’s great that the movie’s out and doing so well, but I kind of miss the anticipation and buildup, having no clue what’s coming up, hunting and analysing scraps of early reactions from shady Reddit and Twitter nobodies 😄

2nd viewing. Ugh in the first 2 hours and 20 minutes is one of my favorite films EVER. But damn, other than Blunt's, does the final half hour drag and feel especially pointless with RDJ. 

 

Pugh is given nothing to do (verbally...) with the script so I won't judge Pugh the actress, but her character isn't memorable whatsoever. Damon has a few outright cringeworthy moments and just feels out of place. Murphy is a bit cold though still excels. Hartnett, Krumfield , and the guy who played young Han Solo will be added as center pieces to franchises in 3, 2, 1...

I do respect the likes of Nolan and Tarantino but I do think they've got rose tinted spectacles when it comes to film vs digital projection. Early digital projectors probably were inferior to films but now with laser projection, it's beats 35mm projection hands down.

All but those 2 are in digital train. But these 2(especially Nolan) being on film train is good IMO. Look at excitement around seeing it in 70mm Imax or non Imax as well. That has brought life to theatrical business. So I hope Nolan continues to shoot on Imax film for his next movie as well 🙂

I think for theater projection, high quality 4K/Laser projection is better than film projection. But for capturing the images in the first place? I think film cameras are still the best way to go, especially large format 70mm and IMAX 70mm cameras. The captured image trickles down into pretty awesome digital projection.

Spielberg still shoots on film too for the most part, though he has gone digital for his mocap-heavy films (Tintin and The BFG were fully digital, while RPO used digital for the Oasis scenes and 35mm for the real world scenes).

70mm IMAX is the highest quality format in filmmaking, so I respect Nolan aiming for perfection. That's something that the very elite can do the highest level. Reminds me of  Led Zeppelin when they said no to a 1 million offer for one gig that was meant to be broadcasted live on TV and they refused, because the sound quality would have been compromised.

 

OPPENHEIMER is the highest quality movie from a technical point of view in the history of film. So if you can watch it in 70mm IMAX, you better not think twice about it. The difference between 70mm film and digital is that film has a higher quality and is in 4:3 aspect ratio, while IMAX digital is on 16:9.

I don't really care whether a director prefers film or digital as long as the choice is still there which is why it's important we have people like Nolan and Tarantino championing the format of film.

Me too! We did that in the 90s on TheForce.com forums, AintItCoolNews, and the Time Pathfinder Boxoffice forums. Had conversations over scraps. So much fun when a film broke out in ways unexpected (Matrix, Sixth Sense, Titanic, etc.)

Barbenheimer connection:

* Barbie wears bikinis. The A-bomb was tested on Bikini Atoll.

* A post-nuclear dystopia of mutants with fixed plastic smiles and missing genitals.

* Further, Los Alamos' common abbreviation is 'LA', Malibu is in LA County. #OppenheimerFilm

so hearing some complains about the trinity test explosion scale. the REAL footage of the explosion done in daytime shows Oppenheimer movie did it more accurately than other movies before . the other movies explosion shows a HYDROGEN bomb not an atom bomb detonation done in trinity
