If it's real deal IMAX it can be pretty cool.
Speed Racer
It's the real deal for certain movies. MCU shit will NOT benefit because it's a bunch of sloppy Pajeet CG. Meanwhile watching Oppenheimer 70mm at imax was insane. And watching it again at the Universal Studios Imax was even better with the 1.43:1 aspect ratio and 70mm.
I can image Speed Racer being absolutely amazing in IMAX because even on TV it's a pure visual spectacle. Again, boring shit like MCU that is forced "epicness" wouldn't feel the same. I bet DUNC was great too.
>watching Oppenheime
why should I watch this movie, far more an IMAX version? A bio-pic about a israelite? Why?
It's literally a capeshit movie dressed as a biopic. It's edited non chronologically with an intense soundtrack as the movie builds up to the detonation test, which becomes a psychedelic vision. I was going to skip it until Nolan and Warner Bros said announced the 70mm (literally 16k resolution or higher if it was converted digitally) screenings. There's so much detail in it like being able to see Cylian Murphy's iris detail in NON close ups and New Mexico pollen/dust floating in the air and the texture material of the men's suits.
Yes, I am, too, fascinated by the tech and the beauty of the visuals, but, is the movie any good and worth its salt?
Is you like historical pieces it's pretty good. Lots of great actors also support Cylian in the scenes. I watched it 3 times during different 70mm screenings at 3 different theatres just to see if IMAX was worth it.
this is your brain on Cinemaphile. absolute brainrot
>Guy watches movie and talks about the movie
>ABSOLUTE BRAIN ROT
I mean yeah it coulda had more like the black hole shots but otherwise it was edited so well with the audio and breathing.
>which becomes a psychedelic vision
The test was a lame mythbusters stunt. Psychedelic vision would've been an upgrade.
I'm really only interested if it's filmed with Imax cameras. There are some exceptions, seeing an ambivalent A24 drama like Beau is Afraid bleown up as if it was a Marvel movie was a novelty I enjoyed. I've rarely been disappointed with seeing an Imax-specific movie in this format. Gravity in Imax 3D and Oppenheimer 70mm Imax like were unbelievable.
I saw the new Avatar in IMAX 3D and I got seats right in the middle, it was amazing.
Interstellar.
dolby theaters beat imax to death
Depends on the movie imo. For stuff still shot on imax film imax seems like the best. For almost everything else, including the last avatar film, dolby cinema is kino.
>For stuff still shot on imax film imax seems like the best.
So pretty much just Nolan and Jordan Peele flicks.
depends on movie, you can get a good feel if its worth by producers and such. Same goes for 3d.
>can't fully lean back, only awkwardly half lean
>cant lift legs all the way instead hanging
dolby seats suck and people that praise them should be shot for being midgets.
>dolby seats suck
compared to Igay the seats dolby are like sitting on gods scrotum in heaven.
Imax is still better since you don't feel like youre going down a slide or crunched up if you wanna use the lean back or anything. You'd know too if you were over 6ft.
Roman J. Israel, Sicario: Day of Soldado and Interstellar. Some of these IMAX releases are in 4K and 1080p I've learned. BraviaCore has them at lossless UHD.
To some it may not be the best but personally of the coolest uses of IMAX I've seen was in First Man where 90% of the movie is shot in 16mm, with the last 10% in IMAX to match the reported "heightened senses" that astronauts had on their first walks.
Yeah it's cool
Tron Legacy
I've been 3 times over the past few weeks as one opened in my city and I'd save it for big blockbusters, top gun maverick was insane , killers of a flower moon not so much and the marvels was just a shit movie
you went to see the marvels in imax? lmao
I'm a brie head, what can I say
>a frickin homosexual
She's got rockin' breasts
>She's got rockin' breasts
that we never get to see because disney puts all their female superheros in a burka
She is flat.
I was going to post that picture of her on the balcony to prove you wrong, but I must not have it saved.
Hopefully some Anon who sees this and does has it saved posts it...
>top gun maverick was insane
Yeah, but the movie is absolute trash.
I saw Fast Five at a real Imax not a Liemax. When the Rock lifts his machine gun to fire in the underground parking garage it literally sounded like a shooting range. Was a kick ass experience. I saw Skyfall at the same one and it wasnt as good neither was Furious 7. If the movie is good its worth it.
>Liemax
wtf is that?
Not every Imax is a real Imax with a five story screen. Some say Imax but no five story screen. And i wouldnt bother going to any of those fake ones because whats the point? I think AMC has a lot of LieMAXs. There used to be a website that listed if it is real or fake but cant find it.
>five story screen
Frick off. I refuse to believe you.
That's not how big an IMAX screen is.
Its true. But they say six stories high. Ive seent it.
Look up the list of Imaxes showing Oppenheimer in 70mm and those are probably the real ones.
And that is a very short list.
holy SHIT
Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining. Do you think the IMAX experience can be had at home with a high end OLED TV?
Real IMAX is all about the gigantic size, so not really.
No but a high end OLED is kino. Most movies are shit now anyway. If you have a high end tv look into Next Gen tv Over the Air 4K broadcasting. You might have the Atsc 3.0 tuner and your area might be broadcasting in 4k. But if you like to try and replicate movie theater at home they have decent projectors that are probably cheaper than your tv and can do 120" screen projection.
I have a basic projector and its kino. But your tv sounds like it looks top notch.
>You might have the Atsc 3.0 tuner and your area might be broadcasting in 4k.
I do, but I don't watch TV. I have an 83 inch A90J
Is thay Sony? Have you watched 4K discs on it? How kino does it look? I cant afford a 4K tv right now. But if you have a top notch picture quality it is very comfy im sure.
Yes it's a Sony. No, I haven't watched any physical discs on it, but I surf the high seas and download losless and remuxes. It's top notch shit and this is why I am hoping Oppenheimer is worth the bandwidth. Too, late. I already downloaded it.
Nice. My dad has a basic Vizio 55" 4K and i watched a 4K disc of that Goose film First Man and it looked incredible compared to my projector and 1080p Samsung. I cant even imagine how good it looks on a $5k Sony OLED.
Oppenheimer (2023) + Disk Bonus IMAX 2160p H265 HDR 10Bit
>H265
You know that algorithm is only good for the decreased filesize, right? H264 is still the king.
All 4K Blu-Rays are encoded with H265, so that's the best you can get in a home theater.
IMO real cinemas died with the switchover to digital.
Not because digital is inherently worse, but because the image quality of an average cinema is now worse than that of an average HD television in most people's homes.
To see a real cinema experience now you have to go far out of your way and plan it like a trip to an amusement park.
In my whole state of KY I think there are no more than 5 places I would consider a real cinema. Compared to probably the 150 or so small town and strip mall cinemas that have a sub-par 2k (and sometimes worse) presentation.
There's got to be a perfect size ratio of viewing room size and television size.
>Last True IMAX theater in my country stopped using film projections after Dunkirk
I wish at least IMAX Laser and Dolby Cinema were more common. I don't give a shit about reclining chairs give me an HDR screen instead it's 2023 for frick's sake.
I saw that Mission Impossible movie this year and they were serving people food and drinks 30 minutes into the movie. It was the most annoying shit. I hate movie theaters now.
Watching movies at home on a great DLP projector is still the best way to go, because of how absolutely dogshit the motion rendition is on OLED and LCD screens. OLEDs that include BFI are a bit better, but BFI has the problem of dimming the picture, and the motion still isn't as good compared to DLP projectors, CRT TVs or Plasmas.
BFI with raised Gamma fixes this "problem", for me.
It's better, but not quite there yet for me. Modern screens just make all movies look like video instead of cinema, due to the horrible motion.
True. I want them to make a comeback more than any other display tech, but it'll never happen.
Preach.
That's why Plasma was the best. Perfect black levels and great motion. Shame we never got 4K Plasmas.
DLP rear-projection televisions are the single most underrated piece of display technology on the used market today.
I hate LCDs so much. They are soulless.
>CRTs = shit picture quality
>LCD = shit quality
>OLED = poor motion
I'll go with OLEDs any day, beause the motion blur and judder isn't a deal breaker as some people make it out to be.
Not a great movie in retrospect but Gravity was the last movie I saw in IMAX and was sure it would not be nearly the same if I hadn't.
all 24fps cinema is shit. high fps is the future.
Sure, bro. Call me when that happens.
avatar..... and also zoomers will demand it after growing up with high framerate tvs and games.
>avatar
And pretty much nothing since.
>and also zoomers will demand it after growing up with high framerate tvs and games.
Zoomers are everywhere online and only a tiny minority of them cares about it.
shut up zoomer
Ironic, coming from someone wanting higher framerates kek
Just played the Oppenheimer film on myA90J and holy shit! It looks incredible. It needs calibration, but I'll do that in the morning.
Is 6MB Bitrate on an AV1 file, shit? I like the mkv x265 at 16MB.
>Is 6MB Bitrate on an AV1 file, shit?
Yes, it's not really comparable to a 16MB file using 265. AV1 is only about 30% more efficient than 265. Of course a lot depends on whether the encoder knows what they're doing.
