Christopher Nolan truly is the pioneer of IMAX for commercial films after TDK success many other filmakers abandon 3d and started using IMAX for their films
Mark Kermode meets Oppenheimer, what a way to advertise the film. Can't wait to see the film but hopefully we'll see more content with Mark as he adds so much knowledge to the experience of cinema. Plus, you need an IMAX screen that big in Birmingham.
Plenty to chose from (i've pretty much watched ALL his IMAX movies in IMAX cinemas), but Bane hijacking and kidnapping Dr Pavel mid-air, at the beginning of TDKR, stands out for me. I really love it! I remember the first time i watched it....the entire 7 minute scene). It was introduced as a SURPRISE preview, while there at the IMAX to watch another movie....i think it was one of the Mission Impossible films. And i remember being reeeeeeeally surprised (because at this point, i dont even think the movie had finished filming) and giddy with excitement and thinking, WOW!!😍. But then i had to spend the next 6 months or so, waiting with anticipation (while watching every clip there is to watch about the movie), before it came out.
I'd love to see Oppenheimer on a large format screen, but apparently it's now Cineworld policy to leave the overhead lights on during films (not the full house lights, but the hundreds of little high-wattage spotlights in the ceiling). I've seen them claim on Twitter that this is for health and sefety reasons, but they're the only cinema chain that does it, so it can't be a legal requirement. Last four films I saw in Cineworld it was bright enough to read a book in there.
It's not a legal requirement, but enough gormless feckwits tripped and injured themselves that they keep the lights on to reduce the risk because they'd be liable.
For me, I'll never forget the way *Memento* made me feel the first time I watched it. How the sequences guided you along and made you feel sympathetic to main character, and incapable of trusting the supporting characters, only to show how not even the main character could be trusted, and how the supporting characters weren't really that bad to begin with. It tells a perfect story of vulnerability and exploitation, and grief - but also the grey areas in justice and revenge, and the good people can do, when they're motivated by the right cause. It's simple. It's tragic. It's gritty. But it still feels realistic, every single time I watch it.
Congrats Cineworld, you got me to watch one of your ads based on the fact I will watch anything that features Mark. If you know Mark and his views on food at the cinema, the ending is a very nice touch :)
Nolan's intent behind the colour and black and white sequences was the same in Memento as well. The colour sequences running backwards were meant to be subjective, presenting Leonard's perspective. Whilst the forward running black and white sequences were presented as being more objective.
BFI, London Science Museum, and Printworks Manchester are the only three cinemas in the UK showing it in IMAX 70MM. If you want to watch it the way Nolan intended, sadly, they're the only three options.
@@BoringThings2069considering there are only 4 "proper" IMAX theatres in Europe the UK having 3 of them is amazing. Japan, India, China, France, Germany don't have a single one.
@@BoringThings2069 Think I was just trying to provide some extra information for people in case they wondered about it, especially because it not stating this in the video is slightly misleading, but don't worry I'm sure your way of making friends is working really well
Curious to see Luddite (for all the right reasons), bigging up IMAX Laser. Yes, it’s going to offer the best digital experience, and having seen Fallout and some other IMAXish movies there it’s the best auditorium in the West End. But BFI IMAX is 20 minutes walk away and running the ultimate 15/70 print in the full aspect ratio. Better this this, for sure. Maybe MK has school bills to pay?
'There is a moment' through the no time for caution sequence to the end of interstellar and I mean after the credtis finished and everyone had left the cinema I was in pieces. The silent spitfre in Dunkirk also literally took my breath away.
@jacobmacdonagh4070 what's the difference if u dont mind me asking? Will the movie still be displayed by 70mm imax film, or is it digitally displayed. And do those two differ that much in quality?
They get paid for every movie they ever watch.It's different paying for each one and the family yrself.Probably Privately Schooled too but just guessing.
They lost me when he said "here, there's laser projection". Like dude, the whole reason this is a big deal is because it's on 70mm IMAX film, being projected off 70mm IMAX film. The whole point is that it's NOT a digital projection.
I watched it , first in standard ( last row) , then in IMAX ( 3rd row) and i will say i did not stay for the 3hrs on IMAX. Maby it was a seating issue (as parts of the screen were out of view from my glasses without turning my neck) as the seat choosing display at the register was placing your view as the "movie" and not as a "watcher" ( this happened to another group that was in the same C row ) as we were thinking we would be 3rd from the back of the theater. But to sum it up i did not see any reason to spend $23.00 at IMAX as for $8.00 I saw at a standard theater .
No, Nolan doesn't "refuse to use digital VFX". That piece of misinformation needs to die because it undervalues the incredibly difficult and laborious work done by highly skilled and passionate VFX artists who are so often treated like dirt in the industry. Of course it's true that Nolan tries to use practical effects when possible, but there are still thousands of VFX shots throughout his filmography.
People who say this seem to forget his past movies like Tenet, Inception and Interstellar all won oscars for their groundbreaking vfx and the recreated simulation of a black hole in interstellar literally produced a scientific paper from Kip Thorne that gave more insight into the nature of black holes. Christopher Nolan uses vfx but unlike other directors he know how and WHEN it should be used, vfx is in incredible tool but it should only ever be used for things that cannot be produced photographically, audiences have become so use to movies being 90% animation that they have forgotten a film can actually be made with just cameras and clever ways to get what you want IN that camera, nobody knows this better than Nolan and also Tarantino is a great example.
@@samirkel1 Not that bright are you? IMAX resolution is not only recorded with film, it's also recorded with digital cameras, which have been used in a lot of movies including films like Avatar: The Way of Water, Avengers Infinity War, Avengers Endgame, Top Gun Maverick, Dune Part one, Dune part two, Creed III, First Man and James Bond No Time To die to mention a few.
Lol, no Cineworld actually has an IMAX screen. They are all LIEmax. They are literally conning people into going to their screens who are expecting this amazing 70mm 1:43:1 IMAX experience that has been (rightly) hyped up to be an incredible cinematic experience. What they'll get is little more than seeing Oppenheimer on a slightly larger screen that IN NO WAY resembles genuine IMAX. It's not even close yet they charge almost the same price! If you are going to see Oppenheimer at a Cineworld location then you'd be much better off seeing a SUPERSCREEN showing as the screen is much bigger than LIEMAX and you get Atmos sound, which is more important than the average laser projection that LIEmax has to offer. Not to mention that is quite a bit cheaper than a LIEmax screening. If you want to see Oppenheimer in IMAX format then DO NOT GO TO CINEWORLD, ODEON or any other chain that claims they have an IMAX screen because they don't. It's all a clever marketing scheme to con the public into paying way more for virtually nothing. You need to go to the BFI IMAX or the Science Museum in London or Manchester.
Can you imagine what Jane Hill would've said: 'No Mark, I didn't like it. I walked out after 20 minutes because I couldn't hear what they were saying and the cinema staff said that all Nolan's films are like that'.
We recently lost our only IMAX screen when Empire Cinemas went out of business. Please make an IMAX cinema in Oxford, or add one to your Swindon cinemas, you could just remove the 4DX screen and replace it with IMAX because 4DX is such an unserious format.
No need for Oppenheimer in IMAX. 98% of this movie is people talking. The 5 mins of spectacular VFX-shots is not worth to pay 25$ for an IMAX screening. It's a great movie, definitely worth watching in theaters. But IMAX format to watch Robert Downey jr.'s wrinkles in supersize? No, thanks.
But the cineworld aren't showing the proper iMAX print. WTF are they seeing there? Only BFI IMAX, science museum and an IMAX in Manchester are showing that print.
Kermode morphed into a commode when he reviewed the Rise Skywalker SW film, he lost all of his credibility , he clearly hadn't watched it prior to discussing it. I've never seen a review so wide of the mark.
4:32 Every single man and boy on social media right now, moist in the pants, telling anybody that will listen that Nolan has re-created an atomic bomb for the movie. Don't be daft, it is marketing, and Nolan has categorically said it is not true.
U really don't need to see this film in imax. I saw it at the normal cinema & it was fine to watch all the talking in classrooms, lecture theatres, labs & other small & larger rooms. The Trinity explosion itself I didn't think was that well done. Better to watch the real old films of atomic/h bomb explosions. Thought it was a good film though. Interstellar would be good at Imax.
Totally agree. The explosion scene was being hyped like crazy, immersive and whatnot but what I saw was just some flashing lights, flames, smoke and a big boom. I had the impression some VFX-shots from the trailers was not even used. The real trinity footiga is way more impressive.
Reviewers are saying that the audio in imax makes it very hard to understand what the actors are saying (Tenet was worse). So in imax we sacrifice the story for the visuals. Don't understand the choice to make the dialogue barely audible.
Wish I had an IMAX screen near me.. Closest I have is a Showcase, with XPLUS. Which is decent.. THE ONE THING THOUGH. Which gets my goat, is the way each screen is set up.. We know Nolan's films have buttery biscuit bass on the ol'ear holes.. Well, that resonant frequency is the same as the actual screen. So it warbles. "oh but, c'mon, Nolan's films are bassy we all know that.. what's the prob-" I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE PROBLEM IS! The screen was flipping warbling during bloody Belfast as well.. NOT A BASSY film at all! Maybe I should call them and tell them to tighten down their screens..
As if it was possible to watch in IMAX. It was all sold out near me. Still haven't seen it, but at this point I'm just waiting for when it's $4.99 to stream.
But it's digital - rather than the full-on 70/15mm IMAX(which not only Nolan favours - but the BFI Southbank IMAX is only a short distance away), so why is Kermode promoting this?
There better be three amazing scenes of nukes going off in this movie after all the build up. And not some stupid game where the entire film ends a second before the first test. Or just shows you the observer's face expression. After all the drama, I need to see a desert turned to glass and two cities evaporated.
You will not see the Japan bombings in this film. If you were paying attention at all you would already know that. You will see the Trinity test. You should know that too.
Why would I absorb every detail about a movie and rob myself of the enjoyment of it unencumbered by having seen so many scenes already and heard so many details. Like to go into movies fresh and be somewhat surprised by what I see. If you like to spoil them for your self that’s your business. What do you mean ‘you should’ know that? It’s not an exam you twerp. There is no onus on a fellow to study every detail about a movie before seeing it. Only fools do that. And, unlike you and most people, I don’t believe Nolan to be a good movie maker. He makes spectacles with an over reliance on being ‘clever. I will enjoy the movie for the history and to some degree, the spectacle. But not showing the real-world use of the bombs is cowardice. And let me guess, there’s a ‘ticking’ soundtrack to add to the ‘mystique’ of Nolan’s obsession with ‘time’. Man you movie nerds are just sooooo lame.
Is this just laser IMAX digitial then as I don't think Cineworld Leicester Square is able to show the 15/70mm print? Theres two other location within 10 mins of this theatre that will show the actual 70mm release.
Would love to see this in IMAX, but our local IMAX is a run down dump of a theatre. Cramped old school seating, and an overly loud tinny sounding sound system (obviously broken). Not paying top dollar for that. The local multiplex it is then.
And further to previously: My only IMAXes have been: Matrix Reloaded Bradford Matrix Resurrection Bradford Polar Express also 3D Manchester Beowulf also 3D Manchester Dark Knight Rises Bristol
It's a digital image and projection. 70 mm film projection is incredible, but there are only three locations in the country. Two in London, and one in Manchester😭
No, there are 3 places in the UK that you can see IMAX in 15/70 film, 2 in London, the BFI and the Science Museum and I believe theres one in Manchester too, not Cineworld though
@@darrenwells2277 thank you - i had since looked and i was able to find there are a few places around, but the closet one was 50km away, unfortunately none in manchester - regular IMAX will have to do, but thank you though
I’m spoiled in California when it comes to IMAX, in SF, I got the AMC metreon IMAX, 75ftx97ft screen, the second biggest IMAX in the USA after the 76ftx101ft in NYC, I also got the Esquire IMAX in Sacramento and another IMAX in Dublin, CA. All of these are true IMAX theaters, I don’t have the lieMax problem. Can’t wait to get really high before going into the IMAX 70mm film, who knows when this phenomenon will happen again!
I’d rather watch a movie at a Vue Cinema and get really good recliner seats, then watch a movie at Leicester Square Cineworld IMAX cinema. The seats are so uncomfortable, with no leg room. Plus the cost is twice as expensive as a Vue ticket. 🙄
Sorry when the cut up screen one at the empire to install an IMAX screen which was probably the best screen in the country don’t mind IMAX why build it here
I dont understand why he shot the whole of Oppenheimer on IMAX. Really? 80% of that movie takes place indoors - the Trinity blast probably maybe would have looked great.
Sorry guys, but after all that you really didn't say WHY to watch Oppenheimer in iMax. Why this particular movie? My son and I just saw it, both being Nolan fans, but not in iMax but in VMax (which is simply a larger than average screen but the usual wide screen format), and both of us came out wondering why it would be a movie suitable for iMax. It is basically just a regular docudrama - a very good one, but hardly what you'd expect would benefit from such a huge screen (except for that 5 minutes or so of the bomb going off). Dune I would've LOVED to have seen on iMax, so too many other 'epic sweep' movies. But great big talking faces plastered across the screen? Yeah nah no thanks. PS. And one more small thing: though I really respect his choice not to use CGI for the bomb visuals....I kind of wish he did (gulp, sorry everyone), as it didn't really LOOK like a nuclear explosion. It looked simply like what it was - a very very big conventional one. Nuclear explosions look different - they're weird looking. But not this one. And to omit completely the incredibly iconic image of the mushroom cloud...I don't understand that choice.
How much did Kermode and Howard get paid for that? 😂 Sadly there isn't a Cineworld IMAX theatre near me (Glasgow) since you stopped operating the science centre theatre so I can only use my Unlimited card to go to my normal theatre. However if I get the chance I will attend another nearby IMAX if Oppenheimer is as good as I hope.
I saw Tenet next Thursday. I was so impressed I'm going to see it again last Tuesday.
🤣🤣🤣

My favourite Christopher Nolan moment is the bank robbery in The Dark Knight.
That entire sequence was what convinced me to make films.
Plenty to chose from (i've pretty much watched ALL his IMAX movies in IMAX cinemas), but Bane hijacking and kidnapping Dr Pavel mid-air, at the beginning of TDKR, stands out for me. I really love it! I remember the first time i watched it....the entire 7 minute scene). It was introduced as a SURPRISE preview, while there at the IMAX to watch another movie....i think it was one of the Mission Impossible films.

But then i had to spend the next 6 months or so, waiting with anticipation (while watching every clip there is to watch about the movie), before it came out.
It is a great sequence, but it is just a copy of the bank robbery scene from Heat.
Good to see the boys back together! Love the lighting in this
I’m so happy to see my boy jack howard working alongside mark kermode
I'd love to see Oppenheimer on a large format screen, but apparently it's now Cineworld policy to leave the overhead lights on during films (not the full house lights, but the hundreds of little high-wattage spotlights in the ceiling). I've seen them claim on Twitter that this is for health and sefety reasons, but they're the only cinema chain that does it, so it can't be a legal requirement. Last four films I saw in Cineworld it was bright enough to read a book in there.
I hate it when they have the aisle lights on, should be a lit up fire exit sign but otherwise complete darkness
iMax in Waterloo is best
I’ve always hated this as well. I didn’t realise it was just a Cineworld thing. How annoying.
It's not a legal requirement, but enough gormless feckwits tripped and injured themselves that they keep the lights on to reduce the risk because they'd be liable.
Boy that sucks
For me, I'll never forget the way *Memento* made me feel the first time I watched it. How the sequences guided you along and made you feel sympathetic to main character, and incapable of trusting the supporting characters, only to show how not even the main character could be trusted, and how the supporting characters weren't really that bad to begin with.
It tells a perfect story of vulnerability and exploitation, and grief - but also the grey areas in justice and revenge, and the good people can do, when they're motivated by the right cause.
It's simple. It's tragic. It's gritty. But it still feels realistic, every single time I watch it.

My gosh I love cinema (good cinema) and people who appreciate it the same way I do. F it, Im quitting my job and going to film school.
Watching it in Imax at Cineworld Ashford on Monday. 😎
We have a baby imax and a Dolby cinema. I’m going Dolby.
Saw it at the Basildon IMAX...nearest one to me. Not sure i needed to. Half an hour too long.
Simon Mayo looking different
Man I can't believe that I just got tricked into watching a seven minute advert.
but there is only 2 screen in the UK and they in London. Manchester is laser 4k imax not really 70mm right?
Manchester Printworks does have 15/70mm IMAX. I watched it there and I could tell it was a film projection.
As if it was possible to watch in IMAX. It was all sold out near me. Still haven't seen it, but at this point I'm just waiting for when it's $4.99 to stream.
But it's digital - rather than the full-on 70/15mm IMAX(which not only Nolan favours - but the BFI Southbank IMAX is only a short distance away), so why is Kermode promoting this?
Reminds me of my days workng in a branch of ole' Cineworlde. Oppenheimer looks better and better.
Would love to watch it in IMAX but I really don't think the Cineworld in Brighton has an IMAX
I thought Cineworld Leicester square was shuttered and boarded up by the landlord! You live and learn!
There better be three amazing scenes of nukes going off in this movie after all the build up. And not some stupid game where the entire film ends a second before the first test. Or just shows you the observer's face expression.
After all the drama, I need to see a desert turned to glass and two cities evaporated.
You will not see the Japan bombings in this film. If you were paying attention at all you would already know that. You will see the Trinity test. You should know that too.
Why would I absorb every detail about a movie and rob myself of the enjoyment of it unencumbered by having seen so many scenes already and heard so many details. Like to go into movies fresh and be somewhat surprised by what I see.
If you like to spoil them for your self that’s your business.
What do you mean ‘you should’ know that? It’s not an exam you twerp. There is no onus on a fellow to study every detail about a movie before seeing it. Only fools do that.
And, unlike you and most people, I don’t believe Nolan to be a good movie maker. He makes spectacles with an over reliance on being ‘clever.
I will enjoy the movie for the history and to some degree, the spectacle.
But not showing the real-world use of the bombs is cowardice.
And let me guess, there’s a ‘ticking’ soundtrack to add to the ‘mystique’ of Nolan’s obsession with ‘time’.
Man you movie nerds are just sooooo lame.
Is this just laser IMAX digitial then as I don't think Cineworld Leicester Square is able to show the 15/70mm print? Theres two other location within 10 mins of this theatre that will show the actual 70mm release.
He does not refuse to use visual effects. He's pretty much always used them.
Imax laser or (non imax) 70mm...?
Would love to see this in IMAX, but our local IMAX is a run down dump of a theatre. Cramped old school seating, and an overly loud tinny sounding sound system (obviously broken). Not paying top dollar for that. The local multiplex it is then.
Are you guys also going to talk about why not to watch Oppenheimer in Imax? For example the terrible sound system
And further to previously: My only IMAXes have been:
Matrix Reloaded Bradford
Matrix Resurrection Bradford
Polar Express also 3D Manchester
Beowulf also 3D Manchester
Dark Knight Rises Bristol
That was fun.
Can’t. Not a country wide available option
'Christopher Nolan doesnt use CGI'... unless they went to other planets on Interstellar I'm not sure how that works..?
Popcorn and drinks Mark…. Is that not against Wittertainment rules…
Arnt we supposed to watch it over the bridge at the BFI in 70mm imax instead
The cineworld closest to me is "Liemax" apparently so not sure how different it would be the screen that has proper 70mm projector
It's a digital image and projection. 70 mm film projection is incredible, but there are only three locations in the country. Two in London, and one in Manchester😭
@@IncognitoChild and none really in Ireland
is thee a way to watch this in IMAX, projected with film at Cineworld ?
is there a way to look this up for my closest theatre..?
No, there are 3 places in the UK that you can see IMAX in 15/70 film, 2 in London, the BFI and the Science Museum and I believe theres one in Manchester too, not Cineworld though
@@darrenwells2277 thank you - i had since looked and i was able to find there are a few places around, but the closet one was 50km away, unfortunately none in manchester - regular IMAX will have to do, but thank you though
@MrHaydnSir it's in its full glory at Manchester Printworks, travelling up from the Midlands for it.
If memory serves me well….PETER JACKSON’S KING KONG had a real time countdown
I’m spoiled in California when it comes to IMAX, in SF, I got the AMC metreon IMAX, 75ftx97ft screen, the second biggest IMAX in the USA after the 76ftx101ft in NYC, I also got the Esquire IMAX in Sacramento and another IMAX in Dublin, CA. All of these are true IMAX theaters, I don’t have the lieMax problem. Can’t wait to get really high before going into the IMAX 70mm film, who knows when this phenomenon will happen again!
Why would anyone in London watch it in "faux max" at a multiplex and not in glorious 70mm film at the BFI or Science Museum?
I’d rather watch a movie at a Vue Cinema and get really good recliner seats, then watch a movie at Leicester Square Cineworld IMAX cinema. The seats are so uncomfortable, with no leg room. Plus the cost is twice as expensive as a Vue ticket. 🙄
Lester Square IMAX is only 1.90:1?
Sorry when the cut up screen one at the empire to install an IMAX screen which was probably the best screen in the country don’t mind IMAX why build it here
Already pre-ordered my IMAX tickets. This movie will kick Barbie's ass
there is no IMAX nearby... :/
I dont understand why he shot the whole of Oppenheimer on IMAX. Really? 80% of that movie takes place indoors - the Trinity blast probably maybe would have looked great.
Sorry guys, but after all that you really didn't say WHY to watch Oppenheimer in iMax. Why this particular movie?
My son and I just saw it, both being Nolan fans, but not in iMax but in VMax (which is simply a larger than average screen but the usual wide screen format), and both of us came out wondering why it would be a movie suitable for iMax. It is basically just a regular docudrama - a very good one, but hardly what you'd expect would benefit from such a huge screen (except for that 5 minutes or so of the bomb going off).
Dune I would've LOVED to have seen on iMax, so too many other 'epic sweep' movies.
But great big talking faces plastered across the screen? Yeah nah no thanks.
PS. And one more small thing: though I really respect his choice not to use CGI for the bomb visuals....I kind of wish he did (gulp, sorry everyone), as it didn't really LOOK like a nuclear explosion. It looked simply like what it was - a very very big conventional one. Nuclear explosions look different - they're weird looking. But not this one. And to omit completely the incredibly iconic image of the mushroom cloud...I don't understand that choice.
Jack's laugh is same as Tom Cruise's laugh😅
It doesn’t help a great deal when the city you live in doesn’t have an IMAX Screen.
on cinema at the cinema
I'm pretty sure plenty of cgi was used in Interstellar and Inception.
🎥 🎞️ ✨
Wear radio active suits when you go see the movie. So I am told.
How much did Kermode and Howard get paid for that? 😂 Sadly there isn't a Cineworld IMAX theatre near me (Glasgow) since you stopped operating the science centre theatre so I can only use my Unlimited card to go to my normal theatre. However if I get the chance I will attend another nearby IMAX if Oppenheimer is as good as I hope.
If you live in Glasgow go see it in 70mm at the Glasgow Film Theatre.
Why watch it in theatres at all
Howard the loudmouth is BACK!!!
WELL AS I LIVE IN CORNWALL THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
