Full Spoiler LME for Dead Reckoning in the works. Also, a Big thanks to the channel members! Best of Film Fests video up now, going public before the weekend. ruclips.net/channel/UC3WGuV8xgGZAk2B2itJqgDgjoin
No doubt that this is the most problematic movie of Cruise's career. After everything that he worked for with a delay of 2 years; in the end his movie is released in IMAX for 1 week only. Cruise had every right to be furious.
He could have released the movie at a different time, and definitely, after removing the expanded ratio, he made the film basically unnecessary on IMAX screens. Who knows, maybe that made a difference at the box office, with people telling their friends that the IMAX screenings don't have expanded ratios and they should see it in a different (less expensive) format instead.
@@EdmundSnow98 The vast majority of general audiences go to Imax simply because it's called Imax, and have no idea about aspect ratios, even less so which films feature expanded ratios. But clearly from Maverick's performance, his films are very successful in Imax theaters, so I get why he would've been upset.
@@EdmundSnow98I've seen MI7 in both IMAX and ScreenX. Just like with Top Gun: Maverick, it seems like you may prefer the format you first watch it in, more. Last year, I saw Maverick in ScreenX (first-ever ScreenX viewing), and I was astounded by the movie in that format. I later saw it in IMAX, and it just didn't "do it" as much for me. To this day, I prefer seeing it in ScreenX and will probably rush to see it again if they do a limited release or "ScreenX festival" (like they had in April this year). This year, I saw MI7 in IMAX twice, with the first showing on the preview night in the perfect, close & center seat of my local IMAX theater. The sound and image was so engaging. I saw it this weekend in ScreenX and it took me an hour or so to get accustomed to the loss of the spectacular sound of the IMAX theaters. The side screens engaged in all of the points you'd expect, except it was not in use for the airport scene or (oddly) just a few mins of the yellow car scene. I think I'd still prefer IMAX for the premium sound, although the car chase and the train were fantastic with the side screens. If ScreenX theaters had premium sound to go along with the format, they'd give IMAX a real run for their money. But, Cinemark only has some in Texas, which I can't get to to audition, and Regal's implementation (the only one across the Nation) seems to be pretty bare bones other than the extra projectors. A real shame.
Just saw the movie an hour ago. Tom Cruise never disappoints and I absolutely love the man. You can tell he, the director Chris, and the rest of the cast had fun bringing top notch entertainment to the fans and for the fans. I highly recommend it!
@@thomaslok5808unfortunately I don't think that's even legally allowed. I think 3 hours in theaters is max. Outside theaters like Zacks JL on digital is fine
It'll take more than just Tom to save it, but him along with James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and Denis Villeneuve are definitely helping to keep it alive.
You need stop watching bad movies. Wow another mission impossible I wonder what is it about oh my a mission that seems impossible what a shocker I did not expect that look at that did tom just did that?! Who would thought of that my mind is just blown away!
@@Elchamuc020ou can do that to any movie and make it seem bad, it’s not good criticism. For example, here is one for Star Wars: Yay another movie where space geeks fight each other in wars and one side inevitably wins with some lame blast into the hole of a big rock oh my god they won!? Any premise can be made to look bad with rants like that. If you want to critique a movie or the people who act in it, you should come up with valid points. Something about Tom and Scientology or Alec Baldwin maybe? We should be able to critique movies for their positive and negative reasons rather than mock them, that’s the point of reviews and many video essays or documentaries. It’s why we watch them. You don’t need to go into every detail, even just simple points about these problems suffice. Sorry for the essay.
For the record, dead reckoning was shot with cameras that are meant to be able to switch between imax shooting and ‘regular’ digital shooting, while Oppenheimer was only shot specifically for IMAX
@@rohanthandi4903millennials and younger literally have no icons except some youtubers, everyone else falls off within the year they blow up. but cruise is beloved across all generations.
@@COSun25Blue Beetle is basically dead on arrival. Unpopular hero, unknown cast, the DC universe is a mess trying to transition itself. Blue Beetle is 100% a flop. Superman Legacy is going to have to do a lot of work to kick start this new DCU.
@@Aliens1337 DC has amazing comic book stories like injustice god's among us. They can literally copy it word for word and make an amazing movie. They should just adapt it for real. It' ll be better than even endgame
I think the best scene was the car chase honestly. I saw it twice, I also rewatched Fallout and it's clear that the covid restrictions really impacted MI7, MI7 was great, probably 3rd best in the series behind Fallout and Ghost Protocol but Fallout was the perfect movie. MI7 had some weird exposition scenes in between action cuts that threw off the pacing.
true. the bike scene is hard to really comprehend in a way because its so quick and he disappears quite quickly. The train sequence is fucking phenomenal, reminds me of Octopussy, just great choreography, a well-planned sequence, and the fighting on top of the train seems to have practical stuff, besides just being filmed really well.
Kinda sucks that Nolan took away IMAX screens for what's mostly a character drama. Mission Impossible is one of those action experiences that works far better on the IMAX
I watched it in IMAX three days ago and the experience is phenomenal. The sound is also so good with the whole theater shaking in several cool moments. I love it so much and can't wait for Barbenheimer this weekend
Movie theaters need to start showing multiple movies on their IMAX and Dolby theaters! They do it once and a while for family movies during the day, but they need to do it more. At least a few showings after the new release takes over the majority.
The tricky thing is how long movies are getting nowadays. Mission: Impossible and Oppenheimer are 2h 43m & 3h respectively, and I have seen so many others around that length, meaning fewer showtimes each day. The only day I've seen with both MI7 & Oppenheimer in IMAX is Thursday for pre-release screenings.
I live in Japan and, unfortunately, the new "Mission: Impossible" opened up the same day as the latest Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki. At least at the chain of Toho Cinemas, Miyazaki's film is taking up all the largest screens with "Mission: Impossible" relegated to the small crackerbox screens that are only slightly better than watching the movie at home. When I pay to see a "Mission: Impossible" movie, I want the biggest screen possible.
I gotta be honest. Whether it's 2D, Imax , Dolby or whatever SuperVision extravaganza theater movie experience...once the movie starts, I'm just into the story. I forget about all the tech stuff.
If we start thinking internationally, there's only a small amount of IMAX theatres (compared to theatres overall), most in the US. So, there is a really big chunk of people who can't watch films in IMAX anyway... and they all still go to the cinema, watch the film and end up liking it. I never watched a single film in IMAX and tbh, I don't get how seeing a bit more of the screen (where the action isn't even focused on) elevates the experience. Not saying IMAX is bad or anything, just facing the fact that it's not a make or break factor of a film.
If that's how you truly feel, you're better off just waiting to stream. You're wasting money going to the theaters lol. And that's perfectly fine, the theater isn't going to be for everyone.
@@121ATV I am unfortunately spoiled by IMAX. The IMAX in Regal New Roc, NY is 80 ft wide, 60 ft tall. When you sit dead center of the theatre, trust me there is nothing like it. it feels damn near 3D cause it takes up the whole space within your peripherals. I just found out the biggest screen is in manhattan which is 100 ft wide.... Oppenheimer is sold out for WEEKS! I want to see it their so bad lol but its a huge difference. Took my dad yesterday and first thing he said when he saw the screen was "oh shit! I like this"
None of these guys ever risked their lives for a screen stunt. It’s called a STUNT for a reason. About as much risk as a iron worker has everyday. Stop reading Hollywood press releases it’s all fake.
I fully expected the screen ratio to open up for the bike jump, it was begging for it. When it didn’t I was hugely disappointed, it was my primary reason for booking IMAX tickets. If I’d have known before hand it wouldn’t take advantage I wouldn’t have bothered paying the premium. One of my favourite IMAX experiences is for ‘Ghost Protocol’, as Tom initially approaches the edge of the Burj window, the camera pans to see the drop which made my stomach flip. Never experienced anything like it watching a film, the IMAX a format truly enhanced that scene.
Thanks for clarifying this. I watched it at an early fan screening in IMAX at a cinema where Tom himself actually showed up to surprise everyone (sadly that was the day after I attended), and was wondering why there were no IMAX shots in the whole movie. If there was any cinema where the movie would be in IMAX it would be that one, but nada. After seeing the ramp jump in full IMAX before a screening of Avatar 2, I was sold on seeing the movie in IMAX and got my tickets as soon as they went on sale. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when the entire movie was cropped.
it's crazy how everything is coming out in july basically the same week.... it's tough. out of everything coming out - MI7 is the one i will choose hands down!!!
Exactly. I’ll forever wonder why Dead Reckoning was chosen to be released just a week and a half before two other massive movies are to be released. DR would’ve annihilated the BO if it was released early June.
@@ComedyBros5really just a week early. They tacked on those unannounced showings earlier in the week to try and get as much as they could. I saw it on the 11th. My mom actually saw it on the Sunday before which is crazy.
The reason why a lot of studios do Imax now is because they make more money. The ticket prices are higher, so more incoming. It's all marketing. So I understand why Cruise is pissed. With Nolan it's a whole other ball game.
Think you missed an important detail. Tom isn't pissed because Barbie and Oppenheimer are coming just a week after Dead Reckoning Part 1 and it won't get enough IMAX screens. Tom is pissed because IMAX made a deal with Universal and Nolan that once Oppenheimer releases no other film can play in any IMAX theater for 3 weeks. IMAX theater Chain essentially refused Tom and MI:DR1 the premium Format the movie was filmed for, for 3 weeks after it's release. It wasn't Tom but IMAX itself that pushed MI:DR1 away from bieng an IMAX movie.
I don’t get it, why is he mad at Nolan when he probably should be mad at his marketing folks who didn’t secure enough dates for the imax theaters. Mission impossible is a huge franchise that I’m sure could have easily gotten a few weeks in a different month
Exactly. I’ll forever wonder why Dead Reckoning was chosen to be released just a week and a half before two other massive movies are to be released. DR would’ve annihilated the BO if it was released early June.
Tom Cruise was promised Imax screenings, but then here comes Universal Pictures who is way bigger telling him to basically move out of the way. Most films get at least 2 weeks, but Oppenheimer is getting three weeks, which is rare for Imax. Basically Universal got MI's extra week
@ComedyBros5 I don't know if it was ready. They had to premiere it in Rome a few weeks before it came out in the US. So that would have been sometime in May which would have also fought Fast X which premiered in Rome (both movies had a chase in Rome lol) I don't think anyone expected Fast X to be a flop. Thankfully, MI7 is doing very well overseas. It won't get the 900M they wanted but worldwide it will probably do 600M which is respectable for the series. There's no way the 290M budget went all to this film. I'm sure some of it was also allocated to part 2 which they shot parts of at the same time.
Tom cruise has ever right to be furious. I saw the movie on opening night in IMAX and it was fantastic. Really sad that he’s being done dirty, but hopefully part. 2 is done justice. Oppenheimer is the 🐐 tho, seeing it for the 3rd time tomorrow.
Done dirty? Dead Reckoning had 9 solid days to itself to fill theaters and it failed to do so, especially in the US where the response has been lukewarm at best; Even Indy5 tracked better here, which surprised even me. Aside from its horrible name, the marketing also failed to make a good case for itself as anything other than "more of the same" and as a result was simply not compelling enough to overcome the feeling of franchise fatigue with general audiences. It's in more than twice as many theaters as Dial of Destiny right now and is *still* behind. Almost all of its momentum has evaporated and at this rate it will fail to financially break even in its theatrical window.
I found out that MI:7 Dead Reckoning 1 only got 1 week to be on premium screens like Imax before bumped the following week for Nolan's Oppenheimer. So it's something that I know when studios announcement of release dates, they have months of possibly moving the date around so this shouldn't have been a surprise. I don't know of any theater that has 2 IMAX screens that can play 2 different movies. It's a bummer because not everyone can see a movie the first week if they have work or out of town. And Cruise is one of those rare actors that does as much as possible his own stunts and his vision is best experienced on a premium format. This Nolan movie is going to eat into MI:7 box office for the 2nd week big time without the premium screens.
@@blackdynamite_5470fallout was the best movie in the series. No question. I thought the Rome car chase was great though. Honestly, nothing is going to top Tom cruise flying a helicopter chasing Henry Cavill. There's no question that that was the most dangerous stunt in any of the movie's.
Though I have seen seen only Oppenheimer between these two movies, I can still say the Dead Reckoning deserves IMAX screens more because those screens are made for a visual spectacle like Dead Reckoning & we all can agree on the fact that Oppenheimer with very few scenes outside the court room.. Oppenheimer is not an action movie & is much deeper than that trinity test scene..
I didn’t know this would happen and was pretty bummed I could not see MI7 on the bigger screens. Oppenheimer didn’t need to take every time slot for three weeks. Saw Oppenheimer in the AMC imax and MI7 on a regular screen. I liked both but enjoyed MI7 more. Oppenheimer, while good, didn’t really warrant being in imax imo, outside of the trinity test scene and some New Mexico landscape scenes. I was hoping it would blow me away (no pun intended) and make me go see it again but at a 70mm imax as one is near me. But as it stands I’ll be happy with this one viewing. It is mostly a character driven drama and you’ll enjoy it just the same on a tv set. Edit to add: the visuals didn’t blow me away in Oppenheimer but the sound did! I imagine that would be a better experience in a Dolby atmos theater?
@@ryankennedy9703 you can watch it in IMAX for the 1 week till Oppenheimer releases, but even in IMAX it will only be 2.39 so might as well watch it in other PLFs instead unless you want the IMAX sound
The IMAX certified cameras (Sony Venice) etc do have 6K 2:3 open gate modes, but it's likely they only shot for 1.9:1. Since those sensors are not nearly as big and tall and IMAX film cameras any 1:43 presentations will also just be a crop on the left and right anyway. Keep that in mind.
The 1.43:1 theatres don't crop, they just leave it empty on the top and bottom. As far as I'm aware, there are no 1.43:1 movies that were cropped, the only thing that comes to mind is one shot in Dune where the 2.40:1 version technically has more because they digitally extended the image. Other than that IMAX film stock is exactly 1.43:1 and even Dune used a digital camera with a 1.43 sensor.
@@icydec3346 They leave it empty yes, but I mean that it's rare for films that shoot open gate to crop the sides in post to present in 143:1. Since they could, but choose not to.
I can tell u why, cause he’s in a Cult n cut off all contact with his daughter just because his ex wife wouldn’t allow her daughter to be part of a cult. So of course he won’t win any awards, he’s a trash human who chose a cult over his child!
@@jacksimmons537 in a sane world, the audience is World apart, but thanks to Twitter marketing grown ass people are getting dressed in Pink to see film based on 4 years old kids toy.
Same here - but it makes sense to me now that I see people saying Rotten Tomatoes is selective and biased in terms of which reviews it chooses to feature.
@@miked1869 Except the ONLY "RT is selective and bias" arguments I've ever heard tossed around is in favour of Disney and the MCU in particular. I mean, I know it was ridiculous, but seeing now just how ridiculous a notion that is makes it even funnier.
I was wondering why when I watched it in IMAX that it didn't truly utilize the IMAX framing we so often see, but that just gives me an excuse to go see it in dolby now
just saw it last night I was bummed waiting for those moments for the screen to expand only to never expand... I was like wtf is going on here? now I wish i saw it in dolby.
The new Mission (as well as the last one) were filmed using "IMAX Certified" cameras, not cameras designed by IMAX themselves. These are large-format digital cameras. Plenty of films are made using these cameras that are not released in IMAX (i.e. JOKER) because the filmmakers didn't make a deal to exhibit those films in IMAX theaters. Oppenheimer is truly filmed in IMAX, meaning that they were filmed using analogue 70mm cameras designed by IMAX themselves and used IMAX's proprietary analogue 70mm film. I loved, loved, LOVED Dead Reckoning but it is NOT an IMAX movie, neither is DUNE. No matter what the marketing folks tell you! Oppenheimer, on the other hand, is an IMAX movie!
@@dmy_tro1.43:1 will fill up much more space in an IMAX theatre that shows either 15/70 projections or IMAX Laser. It's all cropped, but it allows for the most of the screen to be used in certain theaters. So, Oppenheimer 15/70 film can be projected to 1.43:1 85x60 feet rather than being cropped to 85x35 feet.
@@dmy_tro If you go see a film like Oppenheimer in a true 70mm IMAX theater, then whether or not this makes a difference will be evident to you first hand. On your second point: cropping only occurs when IMAX film is modified to fit a standard screen, in that case the original 1.43:1 aspect ratio image is cropped to fit a 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio of a standard screen or a digital IMAX screen.
I saw Dead Reckoning in Imax and it was cropped and I expected full frame sequences - cause I thought it was shot in imax. It was like when I saw last Jedi for the first time and they hyped filming imax and had the cameras in the behind the scenes photos - but cropped it for the entire movie and only IMAX 70mm film - got the full frame sequences.
MI:DEAD RECKONING was shot 2.39:1 with anamorphic lenses. You could not show it in IMAX ratio without cropping the sides. (There is nothing above or below the 2.39 anamorphic image. (That would only be possible with non-anamorphic soft matte 2.39))
Thank you so much for covering this. I've seen M:I twice now, once on IMAX and once on the regular screen and admit that IMAX was...wow. Still great on the smaller screen, but epic on the biggggg screen. Oppenheimer showings just cannibalized all but one showing of M:I per day on IMAX. How can they do my boy Tom like that?? I also noticed that Barbie showings outnumber Oppenheimer two to one but figured it was because of Opp's run time.
I'm not a fan of this franchise but I can't deny how hard Cruise and the MI teams work to create something memorable and unique in this age of CGI-everything. It's hard not to wish them success.
Really? You wish him success when he basically cut his daughter off n hasn’t seen her in over 10 years just cause his ex wife wasn’t into the cult of Scientology n wouldn’t allow their daughter to be in the cult. You think this is a good man who deserves success? Yikes.
Hi. I have trouble understanding, why this Oppenheimer movie can't just be projected in all other/normal cinemas in the same aspect ratio as these special cinemas that project this IMAX 70 mm film. Why can't all cinemas just project it digitally in the same aspect ratio as Nolan intended - meaning in this more square format, closer to 4:3, or 1.43:1? Why not digitalize this 70 mm IMAX film - all the frames - in it's original aspect ratio, in a super digital resolution, and project it in every cinema in the world like that? If it is a matter of having Super Resolution on a big screen, than I can understand, that in original 70 mm IMAX film, with propper projector, it is noticeable. But for me, I would only want to see it in original aspect ratio. Just that. Aspect Ratio matters for me most. Resolution doesn't matter for me that much. Do you have any knowledge, if maybe ordinary IMAX cinemas will also project this movie in this original 1.43:1 aspect ratio? I understand that the resolution would not be that crisp as these 70 mm IMAX cinemas have (with their projectors), but do you have any knowledge if ordinary IMAX cinemas will also project this movie in the same aspect ratio as Nolan originally intended? This matters for me the most - original aspect ratio. I guess when there will be Blu-Ray or VOD release of Oppenheimer, we will be able to see digital version of this film in original aspect ratio 1.43:1 - like it was with Zack Snyder's version of Justice League for VOD. But why can't they do it now and play Oppenheimer like that in all cinemas in the world? I can't understand. If it's due to loosing resolution while digitalizing the movie - and they don't want that for big screen - then maybe they see it as a problem. But for me, not having super crisp resolution like 18k is not a problem. Having it like 4k is enough. I would more appreciate being able to see all image content in 1.43:1 than having it cropped. I can't understand why they won't do it now for all the cinemas. Why wait with this until VOD release or Blu-Ray release? Let's not forget, that the sound is also important. Thank you for this video. Please let me know.
I expect oppenheimer , because Mission Impossible dead reckoning had breaking our hearts : REBECCA FERGUSON'S ILSA FAUST CHARACTER BEING KILLED OFF AND BECOMING A CORPSE IN VENICE
I know a lot of people love IMAX but I rarely ever choose it because of how bad the sound mixing. Everytime I see a movie in IMAX it's way too loud. I much prefer seeing movies in Dolby since you get similar picture quality but with much better sound.
So the only thing that really bums me out about this situation is that I can't also see Oppenheimer in Dolby because Mission Impossible is keeping those screens. And there's no way in hell I'm watching Oppenheimer in IMAX because that'll blow my eardrums out.
Look this is mission impossible movie not 007 so she will be back I see the twist from a mile away 😂 but I love Tom cruise movies you know MI movies not like 007 they are just dum fun times if you watch the first mission impossible 1 this movie following the same steps 😂
Not a giant step down for me, but certainly a significant one. I still enjoyed this film a lot and would recommend it, but in many ways it was a bit of a mess. I do think that Fallout is at least the equal of Dead Reckoning Part 1 in terms of action and set-pieces, and is the better movie in several ways that really matter - screenwriting, story, dialogue, cohesion, believability.
I'm just pissed that they released FALLOUT in 3D, but went back to only 2D again for Dead Reckoning... The Fallout Helicopter scenes looked AMAZING in 3D, and I imagine all the TRAIN stuff & the dirt bike jump in Dead Reckoning would have looked EVEN BETTER in 3D!
And here I am, who doesn't give a shit on black bars, I mean as long as the story and charecters are good I'll watch it, even a 720p video with decent sound is ok in my books I'm not gonna spend 1.5x the price just to see 2.5 inch extra on both sides
GT Lasers are really expensive, the bigger screen size would also mean fewer theatres could fit in a venue. There's also still the distinction between the types of IMAX theatres, that being Duel GT Laser 4k 1.43:1, 15/70 Film projection, and standard 2k/4k 1.90:1 theatres.
People are shitting on Tom Cruise for getting 'angry' about IMAX, but seriously, he was working on this movie for three years during the toughest periods of COVID, especially fucking difficult on a huge blockbuster epic like Mission Impossible, with extremely difficult stunts, and one that got in the news multiple times, got delayed multiple times, where the budget raked up to near 300 million. And you can see the difference where that money went with this and Indy 5, although tbf those budgets don't always reflect the final picture as much as quarantine/delays costs. Still, some might say just becuz they worked hard for it doesn't mean it deserves more than other movies, and thats true, but if fucking Jurassic World Dominion and Super Mario Bros can make 1 billion, why the hell can't this movie? Though I have to admit, the screenplay was much poorer than Fallout.
So I got to watched the IMAX version, we know the sounds are great! Yeah, the screen ratio wasn't there especially scenery view, which puzzles me since the camera was shot on IMAX! I'm hoping it will be try again when part 2 comes out!
I remember the days when Widescreen DVDs were catching on so you could see the "whole picture" and now these mofos are out here pushing fullscreen again.
IMAX was always tall even before DVDs or Laser Discs were invented. The thing is these newer "IMAX" movies are wide enough that they would count as Widescreen, 1.90:1 IMAX is wider than 16:9 (1.78:1) TVs. So it's not 4:3 fullscreen.
I went to see this a week ago in IMAX and was rather annoyed the entire movie was cropped. This at least explains why it was, but still annoyed they made that decision (Movie was great BTW).
Funny i just saw a video explaining the reason why its only getting a one week is because Mission impossible was filmed on the Sony Venice and Nolan obviously filmed with IMAX cameras plus Nolan has a 100 day window worked out with theatres ( taking it back to the old days when you had plenty of time to view movies ) for his film another reason why Mission Impossible is only getting a week. I'm not sure what to believe here to be honest about the cameras.
With Dead Reckoning Part 2 filming on hold due to the strikes, it may not be a bad idea to do a re-release of Part 1 when Part 2 comes out since Part 2 will most likely be delayed. I'd 100% see it again in theaters.
This is tragic. I am Indian and I often hear of, and know about, big movie studios here coming to an agreement allowing big Bollywood releases to enjoy at least 2/3 weeks before another big one releases. Thus allowing the first movie to have a free, unopposed run. Tom Cruise is arguably one of the biggest entertainers ever, and his production should have more time unopposed on IMAX screens, and other ones too. Barbenheimer has thrown a massive spanner into the works.
Then there are those of us who don't go to theaters any more and watch movies, regardless of how they were done, on my computer monitor that measures inside of 18.5" wide by 11.66" tall, using VLC video/audio player, because I can speed the playback up to 1.3 or more. Thanks.
I think what also did not help was the church buying boat load of tickets to the ‘Sound of Freedom’ - what isn’t clear is how many actual church members saw that movie.
I love the mission impossible films. We support it and went to see it immediately as it came out! It must be seen in the theatres. I love each film. He tops himself every single damn time!
I bet his daughter who cut all ties with would disagree with you. Can u imagine a father choosing a cult over ur own flesh n blood? It’s absolutely disgusting he’s a disgusting human being.
Yes! I just saw it on Wednesday and I went to IMAX just because I was so sure it's going to have those huge format moments that previous M:I had...and I really liked the movie on it's own but I have to admit I was bummed out when that immersive moment never came :(
2.39 ratio is how 95 percent of modern films are shot. The IMAX screen is normally the largest screen in the Multiplex. 1.85 (1.90) is unsuitable for closeups of people in a dramatic scene does not work on a giant screen . The Anamorphic ratio allows a closeup but also has side information (like in real life) The IMAX ratio only works when it is used sparingly for scenes that are "big" not intimate. I have noticed that the same ignorant crowd who demand a full screen ratio are the same individuals who can not tell the difference between loud sound and good sound.
Full Spoiler LME for Dead Reckoning in the works.

I love big booty men
In my opinion says Rip that movie don't let Tom cruise's do sunt
Actually the movie was so mid, useless script, no soul..
No doubt that this is the most problematic movie of Cruise's career. After everything that he worked for with a delay of 2 years; in the end his movie is released in IMAX for 1 week only.
Cruise had every right to be furious.
He could have released the movie at a different time, and definitely, after removing the expanded ratio, he made the film basically unnecessary on IMAX screens. Who knows, maybe that made a difference at the box office, with people telling their friends that the IMAX screenings don't have expanded ratios and they should see it in a different (less expensive) format instead.
@@EdmundSnow98 The vast majority of general audiences go to Imax simply because it's called Imax, and have no idea about aspect ratios, even less so which films feature expanded ratios. But clearly from Maverick's performance, his films are very successful in Imax theaters, so I get why he would've been upset.
@@EdmundSnow98I've seen MI7 in both IMAX and ScreenX. Just like with Top Gun: Maverick, it seems like you may prefer the format you first watch it in, more.
Last year, I saw Maverick in ScreenX (first-ever ScreenX viewing), and I was astounded by the movie in that format. I later saw it in IMAX, and it just didn't "do it" as much for me. To this day, I prefer seeing it in ScreenX and will probably rush to see it again if they do a limited release or "ScreenX festival" (like they had in April this year).
This year, I saw MI7 in IMAX twice, with the first showing on the preview night in the perfect, close & center seat of my local IMAX theater. The sound and image was so engaging. I saw it this weekend in ScreenX and it took me an hour or so to get accustomed to the loss of the spectacular sound of the IMAX theaters. The side screens engaged in all of the points you'd expect, except it was not in use for the airport scene or (oddly) just a few mins of the yellow car scene. I think I'd still prefer IMAX for the premium sound, although the car chase and the train were fantastic with the side screens.
If ScreenX theaters had premium sound to go along with the format, they'd give IMAX a real run for their money. But, Cinemark only has some in Texas, which I can't get to to audition, and Regal's implementation (the only one across the Nation) seems to be pretty bare bones other than the extra projectors. A real shame.
I can imagine Tom cruise on phone calling up other theaters and talking like 'Les grossman' lol
Nolan had already set Oppenheimer's premiere date since early 2022. Cruise knew what he was getting into.
Just saw the movie an hour ago. Tom Cruise never disappoints and I absolutely love the man. You can tell he, the director Chris, and the rest of the cast had fun bringing top notch entertainment to the fans and for the fans. I highly recommend it!

Yay another movie where space geeks fight each other in wars and one side inevitably wins with some lame blast into the hole of a big rock oh my god they won!?

Sorry for the essay.
I agree 100% you can tell the framing was meant for imax during the jump scene.
For the record, dead reckoning was shot with cameras that are meant to be able to switch between imax shooting and ‘regular’ digital shooting, while Oppenheimer was only shot specifically for IMAX
That's irrelevant. Movies are cropped based on the screen they're shown on.

I actually thought the train scene was more gripping than the jump, but I admit I didn't see it in IMAX. The movie delivered.
I think the best scene was the car chase honestly. I saw it twice, I also rewatched Fallout and it's clear that the covid restrictions really impacted MI7, MI7 was great, probably 3rd best in the series behind Fallout and Ghost Protocol but Fallout was the perfect movie. MI7 had some weird exposition scenes in between action cuts that threw off the pacing.
true. the bike scene is hard to really comprehend in a way because its so quick and he disappears quite quickly. The train sequence is fucking phenomenal, reminds me of Octopussy, just great choreography, a well-planned sequence, and the fighting on top of the train seems to have practical stuff, besides just being filmed really well.
Well it didn't help that we saw the jump scene a million times before the movie even released.

Kinda sucks that Nolan took away IMAX screens for what's mostly a character drama. Mission Impossible is one of those action experiences that works far better on the IMAX
I watched it in IMAX three days ago and the experience is phenomenal. The sound is also so good with the whole theater shaking in several cool moments. I love it so much and can't wait for Barbenheimer this weekend
Movie theaters need to start showing multiple movies on their IMAX and Dolby theaters! They do it once and a while for family movies during the day, but they need to do it more. At least a few showings after the new release takes over the majority.
The tricky thing is how long movies are getting nowadays. Mission: Impossible and Oppenheimer are 2h 43m & 3h respectively, and I have seen so many others around that length, meaning fewer showtimes each day. The only day I've seen with both MI7 & Oppenheimer in IMAX is Thursday for pre-release screenings.
I live in Japan and, unfortunately, the new "Mission: Impossible" opened up the same day as the latest Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki. At least at the chain of Toho Cinemas, Miyazaki's film is taking up all the largest screens with "Mission: Impossible" relegated to the small crackerbox screens that are only slightly better than watching the movie at home. When I pay to see a "Mission: Impossible" movie, I want the biggest screen possible.
What?! Miyazaki made a new movie!?! I thought he was retired
@@Someone-hc8yi He keeps coming out of retirement because he's "bored".
I gotta be honest. Whether it's 2D, Imax , Dolby or whatever SuperVision extravaganza theater movie experience...once the movie starts, I'm just into the story. I forget about all the tech stuff.
If we start thinking internationally, there's only a small amount of IMAX theatres (compared to theatres overall), most in the US. So, there is a really big chunk of people who can't watch films in IMAX anyway... and they all still go to the cinema, watch the film and end up liking it.
I never watched a single film in IMAX and tbh, I don't get how seeing a bit more of the screen (where the action isn't even focused on) elevates the experience.
Not saying IMAX is bad or anything, just facing the fact that it's not a make or break factor of a film.
If that's how you truly feel, you're better off just waiting to stream. You're wasting money going to the theaters lol. And that's perfectly fine, the theater isn't going to be for everyone.
@@SonGoku-tp8gb I like watching films in cinema. I just don't care about IMAX too much.

I just found out the biggest screen is in manhattan which is 100 ft wide.... Oppenheimer is sold out for WEEKS! I want to see it their so bad lol but its a huge difference. Took my dad yesterday and first thing he said when he saw the screen was "oh shit! I like this"
That bike jump deserves to be seen in full IMAX glory. Probably the most dangerous/ballsy stunt done by an actor, in history of film.
Stop reading press releases.
Buster Keaton and his door frame takes the cake. Supreme confidence in geometry and balls of steel.
No one beats that.
I don’t think that tops anything Jackie Chan has done
None of these guys ever risked their lives for a screen stunt. It’s called a STUNT for a reason. About as much risk as a iron worker has everyday. Stop reading Hollywood press releases it’s all fake.
it was underwhelming, ruined by terrible cgi
I fully expected the screen ratio to open up for the bike jump, it was begging for it. When it didn’t I was hugely disappointed, it was my primary reason for booking IMAX tickets. If I’d have known before hand it wouldn’t take advantage I wouldn’t have bothered paying the premium. One of my favourite IMAX experiences is for ‘Ghost Protocol’, as Tom initially approaches the edge of the Burj window, the camera pans to see the drop which made my stomach flip. Never experienced anything like it watching a film, the IMAX a format truly enhanced that scene.
Thanks for clarifying this. I watched it at an early fan screening in IMAX at a cinema where Tom himself actually showed up to surprise everyone (sadly that was the day after I attended), and was wondering why there were no IMAX shots in the whole movie. If there was any cinema where the movie would be in IMAX it would be that one, but nada.
After seeing the ramp jump in full IMAX before a screening of Avatar 2, I was sold on seeing the movie in IMAX and got my tickets as soon as they went on sale. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when the entire movie was cropped.
it's crazy how everything is coming out in july basically the same week.... it's tough. out of everything coming out - MI7 is the one i will choose hands down!!!
Exactly. I’ll forever wonder why Dead Reckoning was chosen to be released just a week and a half before two other massive movies are to be released. DR would’ve annihilated the BO if it was released early June.
Cynically, it is done by design and is a deliberate self-sabotage of the movies. The strikes happening right on cue as well.
@@ComedyBros5really just a week early. They tacked on those unannounced showings earlier in the week to try and get as much as they could. I saw it on the 11th. My mom actually saw it on the Sunday before which is crazy.
@@VanquishedAgain It’s wild! It’s maybe gonna too $500mil now because of it. I hope it doesn’t affect whether we’re gonna get Pt 2 or not!
The reason why a lot of studios do Imax now is because they make more money. The ticket prices are higher, so more incoming. It's all marketing. So I understand why Cruise is pissed. With Nolan it's a whole other ball game.
Think you missed an important detail.
Tom isn't pissed because Barbie and Oppenheimer are coming just a week after Dead Reckoning Part 1 and it won't get enough IMAX screens.
Tom is pissed because IMAX made a deal with Universal and Nolan that once Oppenheimer releases no other film can play in any IMAX theater for 3 weeks.
IMAX theater Chain essentially refused Tom and MI:DR1 the premium Format the movie was filmed for, for 3 weeks after it's release.
It wasn't Tom but IMAX itself that pushed MI:DR1 away from bieng an IMAX movie.
That’s in the video
@@LetMeExplain I don't think you mentioned the 3 week thing in the video.
It’s displayed right in the opening
I don’t get it, why is he mad at Nolan when he probably should be mad at his marketing folks who didn’t secure enough dates for the imax theaters. Mission impossible is a huge franchise that I’m sure could have easily gotten a few weeks in a different month
We don’t know the behind the scenes info, maybe he was trying to get it but Nolan being the big guy of imax, imax prioritized him more?
Exactly. I’ll forever wonder why Dead Reckoning was chosen to be released just a week and a half before two other massive movies are to be released. DR would’ve annihilated the BO if it was released early June.
Tom Cruise was promised Imax screenings, but then here comes Universal Pictures who is way bigger telling him to basically move out of the way. Most films get at least 2 weeks, but Oppenheimer is getting three weeks, which is rare for Imax. Basically Universal got MI's extra week
@ComedyBros5 I don't know if it was ready. They had to premiere it in Rome a few weeks before it came out in the US. So that would have been sometime in May which would have also fought Fast X which premiered in Rome (both movies had a chase in Rome lol) I don't think anyone expected Fast X to be a flop. Thankfully, MI7 is doing very well overseas. It won't get the 900M they wanted but worldwide it will probably do 600M which is respectable for the series. There's no way the 290M budget went all to this film. I'm sure some of it was also allocated to part 2 which they shot parts of at the same time.
@@VanquishedAgain Here’s to hoping you’re right!
Tom cruise has ever right to be furious. I saw the movie on opening night in IMAX and it was fantastic. Really sad that he’s being done dirty, but hopefully part. 2 is done justice. Oppenheimer is the 🐐 tho, seeing it for the 3rd time tomorrow.
Done dirty? Dead Reckoning had 9 solid days to itself to fill theaters and it failed to do so, especially in the US where the response has been lukewarm at best; Even Indy5 tracked better here, which surprised even me. Aside from its horrible name, the marketing also failed to make a good case for itself as anything other than "more of the same" and as a result was simply not compelling enough to overcome the feeling of franchise fatigue with general audiences. It's in more than twice as many theaters as Dial of Destiny right now and is *still* behind. Almost all of its momentum has evaporated and at this rate it will fail to financially break even in its theatrical window.
I found out that MI:7 Dead Reckoning 1 only got 1 week to be on premium screens like Imax before bumped the following week for Nolan's Oppenheimer. So it's something that I know when studios announcement of release dates, they have months of possibly moving the date around so this shouldn't have been a surprise. I don't know of any theater that has 2 IMAX screens that can play 2 different movies. It's a bummer because not everyone can see a movie the first week if they have work or out of town. And Cruise is one of those rare actors that does as much as possible his own stunts and his vision is best experienced on a premium format. This Nolan movie is going to eat into MI:7 box office for the 2nd week big time without the premium screens.
Movie went hard, had one of the better car chase sequences ive seen in a long time.
Agree
Rogue Nation did a better car chase
The music in FALLOUT was better
@@blackdynamite_5470fallout was the best movie in the series. No question. I thought the Rome car chase was great though. Honestly, nothing is going to top Tom cruise flying a helicopter chasing Henry Cavill. There's no question that that was the most dangerous stunt in any of the movie's.
we need that imax double feature when part 2 comes out. tom bloody deserves it
Though I have seen seen only Oppenheimer between these two movies, I can still say the Dead Reckoning deserves IMAX screens more because those screens are made for a visual spectacle like Dead Reckoning & we all can agree on the fact that Oppenheimer with very few scenes outside the court room.. Oppenheimer is not an action movie & is much deeper than that trinity test scene..
I didn’t know this would happen and was pretty bummed I could not see MI7 on the bigger screens. Oppenheimer didn’t need to take every time slot for three weeks.
Saw Oppenheimer in the AMC imax and MI7 on a regular screen. I liked both but enjoyed MI7 more.
Oppenheimer, while good, didn’t really warrant being in imax imo, outside of the trinity test scene and some New Mexico landscape scenes. I was hoping it would blow me away (no pun intended) and make me go see it again but at a 70mm imax as one is near me. But as it stands I’ll be happy with this one viewing. It is mostly a character driven drama and you’ll enjoy it just the same on a tv set.
Edit to add: the visuals didn’t blow me away in Oppenheimer but the sound did! I imagine that would be a better experience in a Dolby atmos theater?
i'm seriously pissed for booking this movie weeks ago on IMAX and only to realize that it's a cropped movie

The IMAX certified cameras (Sony Venice) etc do have 6K 2:3 open gate modes, but it's likely they only shot for 1.9:1. Since those sensors are not nearly as big and tall and IMAX film cameras any 1:43 presentations will also just be a crop on the left and right anyway. Keep that in mind.
The 1.43:1 theatres don't crop, they just leave it empty on the top and bottom. As far as I'm aware, there are no 1.43:1 movies that were cropped, the only thing that comes to mind is one shot in Dune where the 2.40:1 version technically has more because they digitally extended the image. Other than that IMAX film stock is exactly 1.43:1 and even Dune used a digital camera with a 1.43 sensor.
@@icydec3346 They leave it empty yes, but I mean that it's rare for films that shoot open gate to crop the sides in post to present in 143:1. Since they could, but choose not to.

Why didn’t he just push it back 3 weeks. There is no competition in the whole month of august.
L marketing team
The new Mission (as well as the last one) were filmed using "IMAX Certified" cameras, not cameras designed by IMAX themselves. These are large-format digital cameras. Plenty of films are made using these cameras that are not released in IMAX (i.e. JOKER) because the filmmakers didn't make a deal to exhibit those films in IMAX theaters.
Oppenheimer is truly filmed in IMAX, meaning that they were filmed using analogue 70mm cameras designed by IMAX themselves and used IMAX's proprietary analogue 70mm film.
I loved, loved, LOVED Dead Reckoning but it is NOT an IMAX movie, neither is DUNE. No matter what the marketing folks tell you!
Oppenheimer, on the other hand, is an IMAX movie!
Interesting bit of info!
I really don't get it. Does it really make that much of a difference? To me it's just cropped in a different ratio, lmao.
@@dmy_tro1.43:1 will fill up much more space in an IMAX theatre that shows either 15/70 projections or IMAX Laser. It's all cropped, but it allows for the most of the screen to be used in certain theaters.
So, Oppenheimer 15/70 film can be projected to 1.43:1 85x60 feet rather than being cropped to 85x35 feet.
@@dmy_tro If you go see a film like Oppenheimer in a true 70mm IMAX theater, then whether or not this makes a difference will be evident to you first hand.
On your second point: cropping only occurs when IMAX film is modified to fit a standard screen, in that case the original 1.43:1 aspect ratio image is cropped to fit a 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio of a standard screen or a digital IMAX screen.
I saw Dead Reckoning in Imax and it was cropped and I expected full frame sequences - cause I thought it was shot in imax. It was like when I saw last Jedi for the first time and they hyped filming imax and had the cameras in the behind the scenes photos - but cropped it for the entire movie and only IMAX 70mm film - got the full frame sequences.

Right? Holy fuck what a waste.
MI:DEAD RECKONING was shot 2.39:1 with anamorphic lenses. You could not show it in IMAX ratio without cropping the sides. (There is nothing above or below the 2.39 anamorphic image. (That would only be possible with non-anamorphic soft matte 2.39))
Thank you so much for covering this. I've seen M:I twice now, once on IMAX and once on the regular screen and admit that IMAX was...wow. Still great on the smaller screen, but epic on the biggggg screen. Oppenheimer showings just cannibalized all but one showing of M:I per day on IMAX. How can they do my boy Tom like that??
I also noticed that Barbie showings outnumber Oppenheimer two to one but figured it was because of Opp's run time.
I'm not a fan of this franchise but I can't deny how hard Cruise and the MI teams work to create something memorable and unique in this age of CGI-everything. It's hard not to wish them success.
Really? You wish him success when he basically cut his daughter off n hasn’t seen her in over 10 years just cause his ex wife wasn’t into the cult of Scientology n wouldn’t allow their daughter to be in the cult. You think this is a good man who deserves success? Yikes.
It also supposed to be released in 3D, as Fallout was, but got cancelled. Brazilian posters say in 3D, but no show when it hit theaters.
Still hoping there'll be an end of summer re-release of MI7 in full IMAX.
Hi. I have trouble understanding, why this Oppenheimer movie can't just be projected in all other/normal cinemas in the same aspect ratio as these special cinemas that project this IMAX 70 mm film. Why can't all cinemas just project it digitally in the same aspect ratio as Nolan intended - meaning in this more square format, closer to 4:3, or 1.43:1? Why not digitalize this 70 mm IMAX film - all the frames - in it's original aspect ratio, in a super digital resolution, and project it in every cinema in the world like that? If it is a matter of having Super Resolution on a big screen, than I can understand, that in original 70 mm IMAX film, with propper projector, it is noticeable. But for me, I would only want to see it in original aspect ratio. Just that. Aspect Ratio matters for me most. Resolution doesn't matter for me that much. Do you have any knowledge, if maybe ordinary IMAX cinemas will also project this movie in this original 1.43:1 aspect ratio? I understand that the resolution would not be that crisp as these 70 mm IMAX cinemas have (with their projectors), but do you have any knowledge if ordinary IMAX cinemas will also project this movie in the same aspect ratio as Nolan originally intended? This matters for me the most - original aspect ratio. I guess when there will be Blu-Ray or VOD release of Oppenheimer, we will be able to see digital version of this film in original aspect ratio 1.43:1 - like it was with Zack Snyder's version of Justice League for VOD. But why can't they do it now and play Oppenheimer like that in all cinemas in the world? I can't understand. If it's due to loosing resolution while digitalizing the movie - and they don't want that for big screen - then maybe they see it as a problem. But for me, not having super crisp resolution like 18k is not a problem. Having it like 4k is enough. I would more appreciate being able to see all image content in 1.43:1 than having it cropped. I can't understand why they won't do it now for all the cinemas. Why wait with this until VOD release or Blu-Ray release? Let's not forget, that the sound is also important. Thank you for this video. Please let me know.
I believe there's going to be a re release
I didn’t understanding why the full frame was not shown during any of the scenes… makes sense now…
I expect oppenheimer , because Mission Impossible dead reckoning had breaking our hearts : REBECCA FERGUSON'S ILSA FAUST CHARACTER BEING KILLED OFF AND BECOMING A CORPSE IN VENICE
I know a lot of people love IMAX but I rarely ever choose it because of how bad the sound mixing. Everytime I see a movie in IMAX it's way too loud. I much prefer seeing movies in Dolby since you get similar picture quality but with much better sound.
So the only thing that really bums me out about this situation is that I can't also see Oppenheimer in Dolby because Mission Impossible is keeping those screens. And there's no way in hell I'm watching Oppenheimer in IMAX because that'll blow my eardrums out.
Big step down from Fallout for me.
Rebecca Ferguson, we love you!
Did her dirty 😔
Wouldn't call it a big step down...i still enjoyed the movie and had a great time. The final action scenes solidified the movie for me.
Look this is mission impossible movie not 007 so she will be back I see the twist from a mile away 😂 but I love Tom cruise movies you know MI movies not like 007 they are just dum fun times if you watch the first mission impossible 1 this movie following the same steps 😂
Not a giant step down for me, but certainly a significant one. I still enjoyed this film a lot and would recommend it, but in many ways it was a bit of a mess.
I do think that Fallout is at least the equal of Dead Reckoning Part 1 in terms of action and set-pieces, and is the better movie in several ways that really matter - screenwriting, story, dialogue, cohesion, believability.
@@manoftomorrow5987 yeah, good sequence, but even that went on way too long. A lot of scenes felt clunky and dragged out to me.
I'm just pissed that they released FALLOUT in 3D, but went back to only 2D again for Dead Reckoning... The Fallout Helicopter scenes looked AMAZING in 3D, and I imagine all the TRAIN stuff & the dirt bike jump in Dead Reckoning would have looked EVEN BETTER in 3D!
Same way I felt about Across the Spider-Verse
And here I am, who doesn't give a shit on black bars, I mean as long as the story and charecters are good I'll watch it, even a 720p video with decent sound is ok in my books I'm not gonna spend 1.5x the price just to see 2.5 inch extra on both sides
Most players remove black bars as you really see it in a full screen.
Why don’t they just make all these theaters iMax then? Then there wouldn’t be any beefing. I love both Nolan and Cruise’s work.
IMAX was killed in Chicago because of Covid. Hard to completely fill the seats.
Are you making a "why not make the whole plane out of the black box" joke?
GT Lasers are really expensive, the bigger screen size would also mean fewer theatres could fit in a venue. There's also still the distinction between the types of IMAX theatres, that being Duel GT Laser 4k 1.43:1, 15/70 Film projection, and standard 2k/4k 1.90:1 theatres.
Fallout is still my fave, but this was great and in my Top 4 MI
DR would’ve benefited greatly from being one whole movie, rather than split into 2 parts.

The Mission Impossible movies are not shot in IMAX cameras
People are shitting on Tom Cruise for getting 'angry' about IMAX, but seriously, he was working on this movie for three years during the toughest periods of COVID, especially fucking difficult on a huge blockbuster epic like Mission Impossible, with extremely difficult stunts, and one that got in the news multiple times, got delayed multiple times, where the budget raked up to near 300 million. And you can see the difference where that money went with this and Indy 5, although tbf those budgets don't always reflect the final picture as much as quarantine/delays costs. Still, some might say just becuz they worked hard for it doesn't mean it deserves more than other movies, and thats true, but if fucking Jurassic World Dominion and Super Mario Bros can make 1 billion, why the hell can't this movie? Though I have to admit, the screenplay was much poorer than Fallout.
You guys might be getting ripped off back in the states but I saw it opening night in IMAX here in Thailand and it was absolutely epic!
Went yesterday and loved it! Tom Cruise is the undisputed king of action
So I got to watched the IMAX version, we know the sounds are great! Yeah, the screen ratio wasn't there especially scenery view, which puzzles me since the camera was shot on IMAX! I'm hoping it will be try again when part 2 comes out!
Saw it this weekend with my off duty supervisor. Solid film, a great night out at the movies.
I remember the days when Widescreen DVDs were catching on so you could see the "whole picture" and now these mofos are out here pushing fullscreen again.
Most had both on disc like flippers .
IMAX was always tall even before DVDs or Laser Discs were invented. The thing is these newer "IMAX" movies are wide enough that they would count as Widescreen, 1.90:1 IMAX is wider than 16:9 (1.78:1) TVs. So it's not 4:3 fullscreen.
I went to see this a week ago in IMAX and was rather annoyed the entire movie was cropped. This at least explains why it was, but still annoyed they made that decision (Movie was great BTW).
Funny i just saw a video explaining the reason why its only getting a one week is because Mission impossible was filmed on the Sony Venice and Nolan obviously filmed with IMAX cameras plus Nolan has a 100 day window worked out with theatres ( taking it back to the old days when you had plenty of time to view movies ) for his film another reason why Mission Impossible is only getting a week. I'm not sure what to believe here to be honest about the cameras.
Heads up, rogue nation doesn't have any imax scenes, but it did have an imax presentation
I am quite sure that we will get the IMAX version on blu ray when the disc is released
He is legend, he is alone in the Hollywood 💯💯he will win in part 2 of dead reckoning
Saw the movie and the car chase scene makes fast and furious car chases seem like child play
With Dead Reckoning Part 2 filming on hold due to the strikes, it may not be a bad idea to do a re-release of Part 1 when Part 2 comes out since Part 2 will most likely be delayed. I'd 100% see it again in theaters.
Just saw the film today and it was a great film it gets you pumped as soon as you hear the mission impossible music wow
This is tragic. I am Indian and I often hear of, and know about, big movie studios here coming to an agreement allowing big Bollywood releases to enjoy at least 2/3 weeks before another big one releases. Thus allowing the first movie to have a free, unopposed run. Tom Cruise is arguably one of the biggest entertainers ever, and his production should have more time unopposed on IMAX screens, and other ones too. Barbenheimer has thrown a massive spanner into the works.
Barbenheimer?
just watched the movie on imax but the imax scenes were not present
Tom Cruise: "teh scene takes place at night, as the sun is setting" So dusk then.
Then there are those of us who don't go to theaters any more and watch movies, regardless of how they were done, on my computer monitor that measures inside of 18.5" wide by 11.66" tall, using VLC video/audio player, because I can speed the playback up to 1.3 or more. Thanks.
Hey ur talking about me.😂
I remember when Risky Business came out and people laughed at the pretty face who can't act and wouldn't last. Well, touche, Tom Cruise. Touche!
the joey beat in the background of the commentary makes it all the better
I wonder why Dead Reckoning didn't release in the first week of June. It could've done a billion then. Now it seems bleak tbh.
I plan on seeing it in IMAX if possible. So excited. I just feel like the trailers and bts stuff is giving it away a bit but still excited.
I can make you a spoiler free trailers from my Torrent HD version
I see petty things all around hindering the greatness of spectacle that the cinema provides.
I think what also did not help was the church buying boat load of tickets to the ‘Sound of Freedom’ - what isn’t clear is how many actual church members saw that movie.
A lot. Films a 100million into profit. For some reason the media doesn't want you to know slavery is higher than it's been.
I literally booked M:7 IMAX two weeks early and I was so disappointed when that movie didn’t change their ratio
I wanted to see the new movie in IMax but I couldn't find it anywhere in IMax, I was really surprised they didn't have it.
Bruh it's Oppenheimer not openheimer 😂
MI7 was a masterpiece. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. If you're reading this comment go see it, IMAx or not
will get the fuller screen in the 4k blu-ray no ?
I love the mission impossible films. We support it and went to see it immediately as it came out! It must be seen in the theatres. I love each film. He tops himself every single damn time!
No he didn't. Fallout was a vastly superior film.
I bet his daughter who cut all ties with would disagree with you. Can u imagine a father choosing a cult over ur own flesh n blood? It’s absolutely disgusting he’s a disgusting human being.
The Little Mermaid was in the big theater and I had to watch MI on a smaller one. Going to go again to see, but this time the Imax
Yes! I just saw it on Wednesday and I went to IMAX just because I was so sure it's going to have those huge format moments that previous M:I had...and I really liked the movie on it's own but I have to admit I was bummed out when that immersive moment never came :(
Good idea to sell part two .
2.39 ratio is how 95 percent of modern films are shot. The IMAX screen is normally the largest screen in the Multiplex. 1.85 (1.90) is unsuitable for closeups of people in a dramatic scene does not work on a giant screen . The Anamorphic ratio allows a closeup but also has side information (like in real life) The IMAX ratio only works when it is used sparingly for scenes that are "big" not intimate. I have noticed that the same ignorant crowd who demand a full screen ratio are the same individuals who can not tell the difference between loud sound and good sound.
Not correct. Nolan, Villeneuve, Chazelle along many others have all have stated the opposite of your statement.
The promotion was so bad for this movie that I didn’t even know it already came out. I thought it was going to be released later this year 🤦🏼♂️
