I don't know how IMAX work, but question for the experts : if in this video we are able to see/display the "wide" version on a Twitter video, why we can't do it it in a (classic) cinema screen? Maybe cause in cinema the film is prjected on a screen otherwise to be display on a digital screen like the ones on our TV or PC monitor?
Beside, if it's seems easy to project the wide version in a Twitter video, should we hope to can see the "wide" one too on blu-ray ? I mean I can watch the Twitter video and the Blu-Ray one on the same exact screen of my TV, so? (Here it's the same type of screen).
Because IMAX would prefer to keep the expanded image exclusive to their cinemas - you can only see more of the picture by going to an IMAX showing. (and should clarify, though this social media graphic shows 26% more image - expansion to 1.90:1 aspect ratio which is what most IMAX screens are; in select few 'real IMAXes' like the Manchester Printworks and the Science Museum in the UK, you will get 40% more image in a 1.43:1 aspect ratio.)
When the film hits Blu-ray it will likely have the expanded image for the IMAX sequences, much like on the Christopher Nolan films like Tenet, Dunkirk etc. Ultimately a decision for Cary/EON to make creatively if they want to keep the IMAX footage on the home entertainment versions. But the regular cinema versions of the film will 100% not have the expanded footage, it will be fixed at 2.40:1 like the trailers.
Think they will stay in the croped one too, but maybe thay can offers the 2 possibility (I don't know giving the two options how many space it would takes on a blu-ray disk).
I don't know if they'd go all the way down this road since the average filmgoers may be confused with an absolute conclusion like that and may also think that series is over, something the filmmakers wouldn't want to do.
There is one venue in France which is the "real IMAX" - the Pathe in Montpellier! And of course you can try make it to Brussels.
And I don't think having both cropped and uncropped versions on the same disc would be possible. The way the Nolan releases are is that the DVD and digital copies (iTunes, Google etc) are cropped, while only the Blu-ray disc itself has the IMAX footage.
I have an another question about IMAX, sometime they talk "IMAX 3D" (remember in one of the country of the old East block, a poster of the NTTD movie had this mention. What is the differences with the "classic" IMAX and do you need special glasses ? (For exemple for the new Marvel Shang-shi, all IMAX theatres in France says "IMAX 3D").
Thanks, now I see more clear in that shadow things.
Here's to it's show the limits of the thing, using great technologie for the movie is great but if 97% of the people can't benefit of it, it's...
For all we know maybe FR/BE won't have the 3D at all!
In Montpellier for Dune, I saw that VO is listed "IMAX" while VF is "IMAX 3D" each time... (If NTTD is like that, maybe the solution for me is to "make profitable" the 7h of road driving by go to see the 2 version the same day?).
Will be great to have more infos on IMAX edition of NTTD around the world soon, maybe a guide, I'm sure lot of people like me were/are lost.
Yeah absolutely. There's also a flicker of recognition on Bond's face in the trailer which seals the deal there for me.
For some reason my cinema has it listed as "3D"
I assume it's a mistake or?
Loved this shot as well!
Which country are you in?
@matt_u It's been post converted like most 3D releases - and is the first time that's been done for Bond. The 3D release is only for select territories though, the US and UK are 100% not getting it. Others though...might.
Which always means the effects will be poor and not worth it. I suppose they made use of all the extra post-production time they got on their hands due to delays to add this for certain releases.
It was announced as 3D in certain territories in March 2020 before Covid.
So the 3D-thing was planned before.
Aha. News to me.
The opening titles will be trippy!
Actually yeah, that would be unreal. Glasses off for the rest of the film though.
(I don't think 3D glasses could be good if you have glasses cause you have problems to see without).
