See How OPPENHEIMER 70MM IMAX Film is projected
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- There are only 50 IMAX theatres in the world that can screen 1.43:1 IMAX format, but only 30 of those cinemas, can display true IMAX 15/70mm film print. I visited IMAX Melbourne, in Australia, the second largest theatre in the world, to discover the process of how Oppenheimer, the longest IMAX movie ever is played.
IMAX Melbourne is the only IMAX screen in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 27,000 pre-sale tickets for Oppenheimer screenings with people coming all over the world to see the film. I had the incredible opportunity of seeing what the process looks like, in the projection booth and the experience movie-goers get to be apart of, when visiting this amazing theatre!

Apologies for some muffled dialogue with some of my audio. It was extremely windy outside because of how large the open spaces are surrounding IMAX, and inside, those projectors are extremely loud! Some say that I'm somewhat on brand with Christopher Nolan movies experiencing slight audio issues... anyway, I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes look of IMAX!
trule Nolan fashion
not an issue, but there is so much repetition of the same facts within the interview and with your pieces to camera - you need to paper edit likely answers beforehand then weave your pieces camera so they don’t overlap the same info
Notes for next time!
Really appreciated it!
@@richard7330 you're all very welcome, thankyou for watching, it means a lot!
I really wish I lived in a country with a 70mm IMAX screen.
I’m very lucky to have this nearby, I hope this is a sign for IMAX to contribute to more theatres around the world
We have one here in Indonesia but it's not used commercially anymore :(
@@bagasaperdanawhere? i live in Jakarta
It’s a pretty special thing
@@ibnu7942 Theater IMAX Keong Emas (15/70, 1.43:1) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IMAX_venues
Just watched Oppenheimer in dual laser 1.43 and again in 15/70. I highly, highly, highly recommend seeing it in film. The digital presentation was fantastic, but the 15/70 format just cannot be beat in terms of sharpness. It really is the gold standard.
Can I ask, with a choice between 70mm (not IMAX) and IMAX laser, which would you recommend?
@@jenniferzheng3907 IMAX laser every time. 70mm non IMAX is cinema wide, so you're going to have a lot of the IMAX content cropped, even if it's 1.90:1, since cinema wide is 2.35:1
@@acalora123 Thanks!
I disagree, I think 70mm non film is better. They said that Oppenheimer was shot with the non IMAX framing always in mind so you don't miss any crucial information when viewing in non IMAX cinemas. I also tried both and found the 70mm non-IMAX was more preferable for me as it seemed sharper, brighter, and have better colors
less chance of motion sickness like dunkirk on those obnoxiously large screens even back row lol
Saw this in Irvine, CA. in IMAX 70MM. Absolutely STUNNING achievement. People gasped when the first image came on screen. Just an absolute marvel to experience.
Nice! im so glad you enjoyed it!
Did you go to Irvine Spectrum?
@@Rex-sq2xs I did!
Same
Did they have any issues? About to go tonight!@@jasonclaros7073
I was at the Museum on opening day on 21st October 2000. Had no clue how special this theatre and screen was. It was the biggest screen in the world for a long time until IMAX Traumplast Leonberg Germany opened in December 2022. Crazy how long it's been around.
Wow that's incredible, I wonder how much it has changed since back then. I'll have to visit the Germany one some day!
Pretty sure Traumpalast IMAX opened way before December 2022 because I watched Top Gun Maverick in July 2022 😅
@@daftox3316 Yep, it was opened during last of September 2021.
But the German one is not 70mm imax
yes
This was incredible, Kirk! Such a cool behind the scenes, 11 miles is insane! Can’t wait to see this film.
Thanks mate! It’s truly an awesome experience!
this was my idea
I wish the Sydney IMAX was ready to go for this movie, but it’s still under construction. I don’t know if it will have a Film Projector or they will be fully transitioning to a Digital Laser Projection. Watching the Force Awakens on 70mm Film back in 2015 on the old Sydney IMAX was a legendary experience. I wish my first time seeing Oppenheimer was on IMAX. An incredible movie none the less.
I know! It’s been under construction for quite some time right? I wonder what’s going on with its progression, the more IMAX screens the better!
@@DesignedbyKirk That's what I remember and that's been going on for over 10yrs now. But they are saying at the tie it will be opening this year.
Exactly the reason I'll wait.. Not stream it etc... Myself and my Wife May head to Melbourne for a getaway weekend , and fit this film in....
Ill aways aim to see the way it has been intended .. As a Muso, listening to whats important in the studio, than other deliverable mediums... whether due to file/comp/types, or hardware consumer hardware...
This , in IMAX , is the reason it even exists. Hats off , and respect... Cant wait to see it... in IMAX!
I'm pretty sure they're transitioning to fill digital laser projection sadly
@@DesignedbyKirk it should of opened up like 2 years ago but the original building company went bust then covid etc. Apparently it is suppose to be open later this year
Great video. I traveled about 80 mins to see it in 70mm IMAX and it was so worth it
I'm very glad! Really quite cool to hear the lengths people go to, to watch this film in the best format
@@DesignedbyKirk I watched it yesterday here in prague, 10AM screening, 70mm IMAX (only one in europe) and the cinema was packed and LOADS of tourists too!
@@Vostoceq How was the experience at that cinema?
@@foarvad196 its a good cinema, sound was crips and so was the image
I always thought that all "IMAX" locations use the same or at least similar projection technology. I went to double-check after you mentioned that Melbourne was the only location with a 1570 in the Southern Hemisphere. I watched the film at my local IMAX and It still looked impressive though, especially the Black & White sequences, they were the best looking Black & White I've ever seen in a modern film. The movie was technically excellent, hope they get recognised for their great work during award season.
I worked for IMAX in the projection system technical services department. Still to this day one of the most interesting jobs I’ve ever had.
Neat video, love seeing the large rotor film projector beside the new digital models
That's awesome! Would be so cool to do work experience for that one week or something
What an amazing insight into something I’ve always wondered about. Huge appreciation for all the work you’ve put into this video Kirk, can’t wait to see more mini-doc content in future! 🙌🏼
Thanks mate, really appreciate you watching! Hope I was able to share an interesting new thing or two!
Native to San Francisco, I went to view this film this past Monday, and truly IMAX is the only way to see Oppenheimer.
You're watching a movie on a side of building.. impressive
that's amazing! hope you enjoyed it !
The movie was amazing on a normal screen , I can't imagine how good the movie would look in this screen
Absolutely! Just because it's shot on IMAX film, doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed elsewhere!
Absolutely insane, watched a few 1:43 films and it is something else! A great Canadian invention, IMAX.
it sure is! go Canada!
DBox was also invented in Canada 👍
This is such a cool fun fact; I didn’t know this. Go Canada!
I have a lot of nostalgia for IMAX Melbourne from watching documentaries from school excursions. I recently looked at what was showing at IMAX and nothing interested me. Now Oppenheimer is out and I already saw it at a normal cinema XD
I definitely frequented at IMAX Melbourne for school excursions, and have made it back so many times since, Dune is fantastic there, and Interstellar as well
Same lmao
Amazing video man! Ive read up a lot about IMAX Melbourne, but this video actually made me feel I’m visiting the theatre in person. Amazing job!!
Thanks mate! I remember you making an IMAX video with the iPhone, it's really cool stuff! You got to come down one day for a holiday or something, totally worth it!
Flying from Sydney to Melbourne for the weekend specifically to watch this on IMAX.
I cannot wait
now that's awesome! hope you love the movie!
@@DesignedbyKirk Thanks for the wonderful video!
I lived in Melbourne for 4 years, and my first time going to an IMAX theater was to see the movie "Gravity." This is the one I went to! Not until recently I got to know that this IMAX is one of only 30 theaters in the world displaying true IMAX. Now watching the behind the scenes is so cool!
gravity was shot digitally I think.
@@miz4535 I think so, but still I never knew I watched it on one of the biggest screens in the world.
I just watched it here in Prague in 70mm. incredible experience and the movie itself is awesome
Thank you so much for this video! You got me pumped up for my trip next month. Going to exactly IMAX Melbourne to catch Opennheimer in 1570 film! Coming all the way from Singapore..
you're very welcome! glad you're coming down here to watch it in 1570MM!
We actually have a 1570mm IMAX screen here measuring 21x29 metres, so along with the one in Melbourne I believe this is the second one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The theatre called Keong Mas (Golden Snail) is located in a theme park owned by the Government of Indonesia, so the movies on show are documentaries and educational topics for students. Really wish that movies like Oppenheimer can be shown there in the future so us mere mortals can experience true IMAX.
Keep up the fantastic content and cheers from your neighbour 🇮🇩
Don't forget about the one in Auckland New Zealand
Auckland IMAX has digital dual laser projection but not film projection
Amazing - Can’t wait to see this movie!
Definitely worth seeing in IMAX for sure!
I got to watch this in film yesterday at this cinema, hands down the best cinematic experience!
Amazing --- I have never seen any pictures of inside a projection room. Huge. Thank you.
very welcome! hope you learnt a thing or two like I did
It makes me sad to think that these cinemas and this format appear to slowly be on their way out. I got to experience The Dark Knight in the full on 70mm IMAX format along with a fair few other films and it was absolutely incredible. That cinema has since closed down (Millennium Point in Birmingham UK). My local cinema has an “IMAX” screen but it’s 4K and nowhere near as impressive size-wise. It’s very sad to see these disappear over time.
The good news is that as digital technology improves, we'll get superior quality. It's just going to take a few decades.
Millennium point was our go to until it closed down. It was either that or printworks in Manchester. Nowadays the BFI in London is probably the best shout
@@ehsansheikh5693 im pretty sure trafford has imax
@@indian-tech-supportTrafford doesn’t do 70mm
@@phillipbanes5484 On the contrary, film was shot in 4k or better resolution like 5 decades ago. The vast, vast majority of the world can't stream lossless 4k footage yet.
But you are right, the end is very near. I expect another 10 years or so.
Congrats man! This video was so informative and I can’t wait to see the movie 🔝
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed watching!
Watching Oppenheimer in imax 70mm on release night with a packed audience was a truly amazing experience. Will never watch it again because the experience isn’t repeatable.
Thank you for sharing this! I saw a 70mm IMAX screening in San Antonio and was fascinated to learn how they do it.
I'm glad that I live in Maryland, because the Regal in King of Prussia Pennsylvania is showing Oppenheimer in 15/70 IMAX, and I've never seen a movie projected from film before. And I managed to get a manager at my job to wanna do the drive with me to go see it. It's about an hour and a half drive, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. And honestly, I wish I could see Fantasia 2000 in IMAX 15/70. As a Disney fan, that'd be one hell of an experience.
LOL I live 20 mins from there. I saw Dark Knight..Dunkirk...etc in 70mm over the years. It's great but you guys are nuts driving that far. I saw people saying they were going to get on a plane to watch IMAX. And now know why all the showing are sold out for weeks. I just don't understand why the demand is for this film but all of the other Nolan movies we didnt see this crazy influx of out of staters coming in. IMAX has been out for a long time and I am not sure why people just caught on in 2023.
@@vlcthefish I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of it came from the barbenheimer meme. Where Warner Brothers decided to release Barbie around the same time as Oppenheimer as a "fuck you" to Nolan, but then it inadvertently ended up creating a ton of free marketing for both from memes. Kind of reminds me of what happened with Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal. I have family up in Pennsylvania so it's definitely not my first time going to the state, but as soon as I saw that King of Prussia was getting a 1570 screening I felt like I had to try to go there because by the time I started going to the theater everything already switched over to digital projection so it's nice to be able to go see a movie protected from film. Plus Maryland got robbed when it comes to IMAX screens, we only have the smaller multiplex style IMAX screens outside of the state science center. And they aren't projecting movies there, usually just IMAX documentaries. So I'm glad I have the opportunity to experience both the giant screen, and the film.
@@vlcthefish oh I forgot to mention, we're also going for an 11:10 p.m. showing just because that was the only one where I could get decent seats in row D. I ended up scoring D12 and D13.
That sure would be amazing! Absolutely worth every penny for the long drive!
@@chrisfratz D is the best row. You're a bit over too much but at least you are on the railing so you can get in and out for the bathroom easy.
Just crazy how you can't even get decent tickets for this movie 3 weeks from now on a weekday. I remember watching Dark Knight Rises maybe 4 days after it came out at that theater in 70mm in the best seat(like D17) and there was tons of room around me from lack of people. Last time I remember there was insane IMAX demand was the original Dark Knight in 2008 as that movie was really popular.
Just watched the movie earlier at my local IMAX, its still amazing despite not 70MM 🔥💣
glad you loved it!
still remember watching avatar on that screen back in 2009. sat right at the back in the centre. best view.
Honey can you rent Oppenheimer for tonight? Comes back with 280kg film reel.
There used to be 3 IMAX theatres in Ontario, Canada alongside the Mississauga and Vaughan locations. The Cinesphere, the world’s permanent IMAX theatre, at the Ontario place has been temporarily closed since fall last year due construction around the Ontario Place grounds. Hopefully it reopens late this year as planned.
I STILL fondly remember seeing some of the early 'documentary' IMAX presentations at Cinesphere when I was a kid. It was amazing how the First Person ROLLER COASTER footage actually PHYSICALLY made your stomach feel weird, just like if you were actually on a real Roller Coaster!
Great presentation, Kirk!! Killin it. I'd love to visit IMAX Melbourne some day. 😍
Thanks for stopping by mate, thank-you! You've got to come down!
Bought a premium seat (the last row) for my first ever 1570 imax and now I lowkey regret not choosing the middle zone instead. Still hella excited! Would love to be able to catch inception, interstellar or dunkirk again on 1570 someday here. Cant wait to be there already!
Very grateful to have a 15/70mm IMAX cinema in my home city.
Absolutely incredible. What an experience this might have been, the process looks so tough and yet passionate. Really wish if i could attend one Nolan movie in a 1570 IMAX film
100%, they work really hard there to get such a unique film out to the public, a lot of care and love!
How is this guy only having 4K subs? His content deserves much more subs.
you are far too kind, as long as I make a few people happy watching my videos, I don't care how many subscribers I have
We saw Dune 2 in IMAX 1570 in Melbourne last night and were blown away. It really is the best format for a movie of this sort.
I watched Oppenheimer in imax 1570 on Friday July 28, at 11pm. Incredible that the house was still sold out for a movie a week into its run and at such a late showing. True testament to what Nolan has achieved
100%! what a show it was!
I have my tickets for Oppenheimer 15/70mm IMAX at AMC Universal City in LA.
nice! I'm seeing it on Wednesday, very excited
Still don't understand why people hate Nolan. He's the pioneer of the usage of IMAX for commercial cinema
Love him or not, I just hope more cinemas around the world bring back film playback
It's mostly other jealous filmmakers who don't get to use 70mm film and an unquestioned budget
@@DesignedbyKirk most filmakers today hate film and prefer digital
@@laserfliptoboneless i agree. No wonder they hate Nolan and calling him old fashioned
@@laserfliptobonelessOppenheimers budget is actually smaller than barbie, at around 100m
Nice video! I'm so excited to have tickets to the 70mm IMAX version of Oppenheimer, I was a bit late with buying them so we got seats about 4 rows from the screen. I'm happy to see it probably won't be too bad. Also had no idea just how rare it is to be able to see it in this format, makes me doubly excited for it!! It'll be my first film ever in this format too, I thought "regular" IMAX was impressive enough already haha.
I saw Top Gun Maverick and now Oppenheimer at BFI IMAX Waterloo, London. Absolutely incredible. 12KW sound and the Europe's largest screen is a sight to behold. Love london.
that would of been awesome!
Watched Oppenheimer at an IMAX screen (1:90 format) and it was the best immersive experience I have ever had.. I can only imagine what would it feel like to watch it in 15/70mm
that's awesome! makes me very excited for the film!
@@DesignedbyKirk have you not seen it yet
There's a 70mm IMAX theater in San Antonio Texas where my parents live, I'm seriously thinking about flying across the United States just to watch this movie.
It’s all sold out. Unless you want to sit in the edge and front area
I saw it yesterday!! The print looks GREAT!!! It's at Rivercenter so you gotta pay for parking but get a validation for 3 hours free!!
Nice, hope you loved it!
Such an amazing video, Kirk!!!! Loved it! So incredible to see the behind the scenes. Congratulations!!!! 👏🏻
Thanks so much for stopping by and watching Marina!
Saw it in 15/70 in Vaughan cinema in Toronto. Amazing experience... a must-see film for those who have access
Crazy how many of the screens are in Canada considering the population
Quite a lot of venues indeed!
IMAX is a Canadian company. That's why.
I recently saw Mission Impossible in double 4K laser at IMAX Melbourne. Although a fantastic image and very clear, the image didn't reach the very top or bottom of the screen. I thought that this might be a limitation of the 4K setup there. I hope that when I get to see Oppenheimer there in 15/70 (if I can ever get tickets) that the picture fills the screen entirely. Are there any comments on this from those in the know that have visited Melbourne? Is the 4K image slightly smaller than the 15/70 or do neither of them fill the screen all the way to the four edges?
Save your dough. Poopenheimer is a snoozefest.
I went to a 15/70 Oppenheimer screening in IMAX Melb and can confirm that the relevant scenes do indeed fill up the entire screen. It was legitimately one of the best cinema experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life, anyone who is calling this film a ‘snoozefest’ either saw it in a shitty cinema or were expecting non-stop explosions for three hours lol
@@TheNikolaki8 there is no 70mm IMAX where I live (boo hoo!) So I wasn't able to see unnecessary nudity in the form of Florence's bwuubs (bawl!) But those are now Nolan's cheap gimmicks to get gullible folks go gaga (sob!)
@@gertrudfischer271 it's hyped up tripe.
So this is where it gets a little bit confusing and technical with the "IMAX" terminology. Mission impsossible expands to at most 1.9:1 or 16:9, which is the full width of the sensor available filmed digitally. This would take up approximately 70% of the full IMAX Melbourne screen. Movies like Dune, filmed in Opengate on the Alexa 65, are digital films, that also do take up the full 4:3 screen, alongside IMAX film prints 1570MM like Interstellar, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer etc...
So what you experienced wasn't necessarily a limitation of the IMAX screen, but more so the camera the movie was shot on. Most movies can only display at 2.39:1, which is less than 16 by 9, the graphic I showed at 3:45 perfectly showcases this!
Oppenheimer will be my first ever IMAX experience and I can’t wait
hope you enjoy the film!
@DesignedbyKirk thank you!!! excellent video by the way!
Saw it in 15/70mm in Calgary's IMAX. Nothing beats it! Visually stunning.
Glad you enjoyed it mate! Really glad! It's a wonderful experience
Thanks for using the metric system.
you’re welcome :)
i went to see this in "IMAX" and was like 'wait, i remember this being at least 2x as big as a kid'
and now i don't know if i've ever seen tru IMAX :(
Might be worth trying to watch it now for sure!
seems like you saw it in "Digital IMAX" - yes the original 70mm IMAX used film (Like Oppenheimer at the Melbourne IMAX) and the screen was bigger. "True IMAX" is called 1570mm IMAX because the film is 70mm wide (as opposed to conventional 35mm film) and it has 15 perforations per frame as opposed to 4 perforations per frame for 35mm film. I had a similar experience as you some years ago. I had seen original 1570 IMAX over 20 years ago and about 10 years ago went to an IMAX cinema again, thinking that digital IMAX would be so much better than 70mm film IMAX. I was so disappointed. And the thing is the exhibitors, while promoting "the all new Digital IMAX" didn't really tell people that the picture on the screen was actually smaller.
Film makers like Cameron and Nolan, know what it takes to innovate the movie going experience. I saw way of water in imax 3D and was absolutely blown away. 70 mm with a movie from Nolan has me very excited.
Absolutely!
Just seen Oppenheimer at the BFI IMAX in London, one of the 3 in the UK showing a 1570 print. The visual experience is totally overwhelming in the most sublime way imaginable.
I've heard about that theatre quite a lot recently, got to check it out some time!
@@DesignedbyKirk BFI IMAX well worth checking out. I lived in London in the 1970s when all cinemas had only one screen except for the Academy 1,2 and 3 in Oxford St which introduced me to arthouse and European movies. I first worked at the Classic Cinema in Piccadilly Circus which had previously been a "Circlorama" cinema in the 1960s. When I worked there (as trainee manager) the auditorium was still in a circular layout and the projection room, (which had previously contained 11 projectors), still surrounded the circular auditorium. Easy Rider had it's British premiere here in 1969 and ran for over 9 months, running continuous sessions over 10 hours every day. I saw a 1570 3D presentation at the BFI IMAX way back in 2000 when my friend was technical manager for BFI. I was lucky to get a private behind the scenes look at the 1570 projection system. I lived in Melbourne 1987-1997 (no IMAX then but my local was the Astor which was always a special treat - and luckily still is today after facing demolition a few years back). I was in Melbourne again in Jan 2020 when I saw 1917 at Museum IMAX. The trailer for Tenet was in 1570 but 1917 was in digital IMAX, which was great but a little disappointing watching the picture shrink down from 1570 to digital IMAX. It's heartening to see Melbourne has kept the 1570 projector and disappointing that our new IMAX in Wellington (Lower Hutt, NZ) is not 1570 capable.
IMAX destroyed its brand by dumping digital 2K theaters with IMAX name all over the place. Now that I know IMAX doesn't mean IMAX 15 70mm ... what a massive rip off I have been duped. Now I really wonder what a FULL resolution film would look like.
Here in Australia, there is no other IMAX co-branding out there, so it's quite clear that IMAX is a different experience, totally worth it in my opinion
IMAX Digital (2K), bad move IMAX Corporation!
And there's sydney still building our IMAX cinema 7 years running. SMH
... one day, in the meantime, another reason to visit melbourne
Just saw it last week in IMAX 70MM Tempe AZ. Incredible.
that's awesome!
I drove from Washington to Langley, BC to see it in 70mm. It was absolutely worth it!
so glad you loved it!
In my experience film is film and digital cant match film
let's hope the format makes a comeback in theatres around the world!
But with all due respect, will an average cinemagoer identify between a digital format Vs. Film? They can for sure understand High Frame Rate formats, but 70mm and 1570mm? I don't think so. All they care about is the story and some action & value for money. 🤔
believe me when you've seen it you see the difference.
i assume you haven't seen a 1570 film projected directly to the screen. you will be fascinated if you have the opportunity sometime.
Fair question, it’s one of the main reasons I wanted to make this video in the first place. To show people out there interested, what the difference is. And it’s incredible when you sit down to watch it. To me, the fact that they’ve already sold so many tickets for one month of screenings, (with only one screen in the theatre), demonstrates how many people love the format
The average cinemagoer probably hasn't experienced both. But once one does, you can see where there are differences. Film is warmer, more natural, and higher resolution.
Something that almost anyone will notice is the aspect ratio. In smaller formats, you're literally going to be missing parts of the background details. Obviously, Nolan would be cognizant of people not being able to see the full frame, so the details that are cut out by smaller aspect ratios won't be totally necessary, but they'll still exist.
Just got out of Oppenheimer (regular screen, but still a masterpiece) but now I want to rewatch it on Imax film
nice! glad you enjoyed it!
Can't believe we have an IMAX theatre in Prague. I will be going back to my country in a couple of months so I hope they keep playing it occasionally.
no gloves? human hands have been destroying prints for generations and i see we haven't learned any lessons. buy some damn gloves FFS
There's no need, because the film he's handling isn't the actual movie. It's blank film added to the beginning and end for the purpose of threading.
I've been told by their team that the opening hundreds of frames are "fillers" to accomodate for handling and threading the film, plus having a visual on the projector to test footage, prior to audiences entering the theatre. Gloves can be seen used in the initial splicing process.
i watched yesterday in Dubai Imax. The whole movie watching experience was next level.
hope you enjoyed the movie!
5:11 the blood vein on this dude's forehead is truly next level
under a lot of pressure to get the film playing properly!
Crazy how we have a 70mm IMAX screen here in Arizona of all places lol so grateful for that
It’s an awesome experience!
Great video! Really enjoyed seeing how IMAX is set up behind the scenes!
I'M SO HYPE
I CAN'T BELIEVE there's A REAL ONE in Georgia, USA
hope you enjoyed it!
@@DesignedbyKirk haven't yet but that's what makes me even more hype
It feels like a bucket list once in a lifetime type of opportunity that's how hype I am
Probably see it in the next week or so
Going next weekend in Philly PA to watch it in 70mm! Can't wait!
best explanation video of imax 70mm theaters!
thankyou!
The ending of this film was particularly powerful in IMAX, _especially_ the final series of shots. That alone justified going out of the way to watch it on film.
One of my favourite moments in cinema in recent time it's great
Thanks for making this video. I also got to see Oppenheimer in 1570 film and I believe I saw you filming this video (I was the one who asked if you were also a tourist)
Ahh nice!! Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you enjoyed the film at IMAX!
@@DesignedbyKirk I enjoyed both
I'm fortunate enough to have one of the 70mm IMAX screens here in Edmonton and just saw Oppenheimer on it on Saturday. What an incredible cinematic experience! Highly recommend anyone to do the same while they can. I've also had the pleasure of seeing Interstellar at the Melbourne IMAX back in 2014 and that might be my favorite theater experience I've ever had. The jaw dropping size of that screen truly puts you on a whole different level.
that's awesome mate, glad you enjoyed the film! and came to Melbourne to see Interstellar!
I live near the IMAX theater they just built in Pooler, Georgia (it’s really really close to the size of this one, 23.2m by 30.7m), and it’s one of two GT auditoriums in our state. They don’t have a film projector (theater itself is a “small” family owned and they probably couldn’t justify the cost of the film projector on top of the dual 4K projectors like in this video with how few films are released on film now). They do an outstanding job of taking care of their facilities though, which unfortunately the other GT IMAX in our state can not say… That one is owned by the Regal Cinemas (theater chain) at the Mall of Georgia and it does have the 70mm IMAX but Regal cheaped out and only put one of the 4K digital projectors in it (apparently that’s something regal has done with most of if not all of their IMAX theaters). That makes it incapable of showing digital only movies in the full imax aspect ratio, on a screen that’s significantly smaller (18.1m by 24.8m), in an auditorium that isn’t in as good of a shape as pooler (and doesn’t have recliners). So would have been pick either one of the biggest screens in the world in a nicer auditorium but it’s digital (still 1.43:1 though) or see it in a worse auditorium but it’s on film (but on a smaller screen)… No clear choice for movies like Oppenheimer, definitely a clear choice for digital only films like Dune though, since Pooler is the only one of the two that can do digital 1.43:1)
Man, there used to be five IMAX 15/70 theaters in Mexico, of which, three have already closed down... Two remain, but play only documentaries, whilst one of the two main and largest cinema chains in Mexico, Cinemex, has just opened three IMAX laser theaters in Mexico City.
Where I live, Monterrey, a museum called: Papalote Museo del Niño Monterrey, is currently playing Hollywood features, and there's where I saw Oppenheimer, the very first C. Nolan film I see, at least in real IMAX laser.
Great video, man. Hope to stay in touch.
I've watched imax films in Java (southern hemisphere). The definition is stunning
I live in Brisbane, and after watching this video I honestly want to fly all the way to Melbourne just to see Oppenheimer at this cinema!
maybe make a day trip out of it! expensive operation though, hopefully it's worth it!
So happy I got the opportunity to watch it in 70mm
Incredible. I had no idea that the projectionist had to stitch the film together after receiving 🤯. I love being able to see 70mm films but it's a real bummer when you are at the mercy of whoever AMC comes up with to project the picture.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, had no idea there was so much going on behind the scenes. Great video!
Thanks for watching terry! Glad you enjoyed it!
I am super lucky that our IMAX Prague is one of those 30 and I already saw the movie in this format. 🙂
Thankfully another great quick insight for people who don’t know IMAX 70 mm.
Needless to say, the IMAX 70 mm format has a quality which is way far ahead of 4K in in a complete world of its own, people have to know - and they will know it when they see it
1570mm Film, wow thats some really large frames
15 perf. 70mm :)
@@DesignedbyKirk :) thank you
And brilliant presentation Kirk! Kudos! 🤝🏻🔥
Thanks heaps mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
I really hope, that we get more IMAX 70mm films in the coming years, this is basically what i imagine will save the movie theaters, as you cant replicate that at home, and it surely is a different experience.
@@phillipbanes5484 You do know 1570mm IMAX film is far superior to Digital IMAX?
1570mm = 18K.
@@phillipbanes5484 I mean your wrong about the quality! 70mm imax is far better than imax digital or laser!
Absolutely Brilliant 💯
In Hyderabad, India we had a 110mm IMAX screen and the last movie in IMAX format to have played is Nolan's Inception. After that they've removed it. I truly regret for that decision. And I hope they'll open IMAX screens in Hyderabad soon.
Such an incredible video, Kirk! Loved learning more about how IMAX films work. Also.. Now I need to watch Oppenheimer again hahaha
Thankyou so much for stopping by and watching Marina, appreciate it heaps! Hope you loved the movie as much as I did :)
Got tickets to see it here in Melbourne IMAX.. on 70mm in August, cant wait!!
amazing! hope you love it!
I've been to two true-IMAX-sized screens in my lifetime. One was in Ontario, California, near where I lived, which I took for-granted until I moved away. The other was in New York, where I was with my brother for a couple of days, and we watched Avatar in IMAX 3D. Not normally a big fan of 3D, but that was an amazing thing to watch in 3D, let along, with IMAX. Last IMAX experience I had in Cali was The Dark Night--Nolan, of course, back in his early IMAX days. Also amazing!
Both wonderful experience!
If only IMAX theaters cared about viewers comfort. The seats looks like seats from a 98 Corolla. Whereas Dolby Atmos has full plush leather and reclining seats that give you your own space.
Seeing it for a third time in 70mm IMAX and I’m just as excited as the first time. Masterpiece.
ABD YOU EXPECTED DIFFERENT RESULTS EACH TIME YOU SEE IT?
@@tompsheridantsheridant7354 no? It’s just that good I wanna see it multiple times

Amazing Video! Thanks for sharing.
you're very welcome!
Great video mate!! I was literally having a picnic in front of this IMAX theatre a few months ago and really wished they were screening Oppenheimer haha :)
Thanks heaps for stopping by and watching it mate, appreciate it! It's such a nice space the parks around IMAX, so totally worth it!
I'm very blessed to be in Melbourne
The amount of hype this movie generated for IMAX film is unreal. Part of me hopes this encourages more use of film and maybe even leads to better theater attendance down the road.
I hope for both in the end!
Merci beaucoup from Paris France 👍. I'm a former 35 and 70 millimeters projectionist.
that's incredible! thankyou for all your wonderful work!
