See Why DUNE: PART TWO on 70MM IMAX Film is so rare
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 06. 2024
- There are only 12 theatres in the world that can screen Dune: Part Two in true IMAX 15/70mm film, and I'm visiting the IMAX theatre with the largest screen in the world to do so at IMAX Melbourne, in Australia, to discover the projection process and learn why this film version is so rare.
IMAX Melbourne is one of only two IMAX screens in the Southern Hemisphere, and the only with 1570 film and 4K IMAX Digital projection capabilities, with movie-goers coming from all parts of the world to see Dune: Part Two in this exclusive format.
I had the incredible opportunity of seeing what the process looks like, in the projection booth and the rare experience movie-goers get to be apart of.

He's done it again! Another IMAX behind the scenes masterpiece. Nice job Kirk!
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
Driving with a friend 3 hours to Indy to see this 3 hour movie and then 3 hours home, WORTH IT.
Hell yeah! Now that’s dedication?
I drove to Indy as well! Four hours there and back was totally worth it.
Same drove about 3 hours to see it. Saw it twice.
now just imagine if we had rail service return back to the midlands of america ...
@@meesalikeu we have a nice Amtrack service in Illinois but sadly nothing from where I live to Indy…
Cinema is finally healing.
Long live cinema
Indeed the insane madness that was the health ‘ pandemic’ tried to break us up and divide us. Stop us being close to each other, shut down movie theatres etc. then we all sheepishly stayed home and supported the one streaming world . Just watch out the idiots don’t try and do it all again. Not going to accept the BS next time it happens. Being together in a movie theatre will others is bloody powerful stuff, when we get that taken away from us-right! 🤘
i just couldnt get behind watching movies on streaming sites and in my home, especially for movies like Dune 2. it's just not as fulfilling as watching them on the big screen like the IMAX; the sound, the atmosphere, the rumbling, the experience, the planning stage of not drinking too much water an hour before the movie so you won't get interrupted when nature calls lol.
Why? Healing of what and with what? This year is way poorer than last and Dune 2 is not excellent?
I dont agree. The human factor has become too unpredictable. You can wind yourself up for aa movie you've been witting 25, or veen 75 years to come out and end up sitting next to a guy with severe turrets, like I just did yesterdday. A guy who's phone went off during the final scene of the movie. Lockdown taught us to fear each other. Re-upping lockdown for a second year took away all our manners and sanity. Paying more to see a better finished product wont insulate you from a dumb, diseased, abhorrent audience. The future of cinema means relocating that experience into the home, which we;re already starting to see with Apple's Vision Pro and similar prodcuts, which are actually Telescreens: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescreen
I'm glad Denis filmed dune part 2 specifically for IMAX!!
Me too! It's a joy to experience!
You just need to ensure that the IMAX screen you view it on is the correct format.
Dune is an absolute must see in IMAX!!
I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do some work with IMAX & the 1.90:1 format is not the true / classic IMAX format.
The aspect ratio of true IMAX is 1.43:1, nearly square in format, which is unique and differs from standard cinema formats. This shape and size enable directors to use the space creatively and in a way that cannot be replicated in a regular theatre or home viewing context. It also allows films shot in the IMAX format to be displayed with significantly higher resolution than standard projection systems.
True IMAX theatres have a distinctive screen that extends to the edges of your peripheral vision, creating an immersive experience unlike any other. The seating arrangement is steep to ensure that all viewers have an unobstructed view of the screen. These screens can reach a size of up to 72 feet high and 98 feet wide, which is almost like watching a film on the side of a seven-story building.
The classic or ‘True IMAX’ also uses a 70mm film format, the largest in practical use. With IMAX format, each frame is 15 perforations wide, and the area of the frame is about 52mm high by 70mm wide - almost 9 times larger than the conventional 35mm frame used in traditional movie theaters. This full frame IMAX format produces images up to 18k resolution, far superior to the images seen in most digital cinemas.
On the other hand, Digital IMAX, or what some have taken to calling ‘Fake IMAX,’ was introduced as a more cost-effective alternative to the traditional 70mm projection system. These theatres use two 2K resolution digital projectors with proprietary IMAX post-production techniques to enhance the image quality. The screens are smaller, typically 28 feet high and 58 feet wide, which is much smaller than a True IMAX screen but still larger than a standard theatre screen.
The aspect ratio of Digital IMAX is 1.90:1, which, while it offers more height than standard theatres, does not quite match up to the traditional IMAX ratio. Digital IMAX systems also utilize a different sound system and can offer a great auditory experience but fall short of True IMAX’s patented sound technology which delivers laser-aligned digital sound.
Digital IMAX theatres were introduced primarily due to the lower installation and operation costs compared to True IMAX.
They can fit into traditional multiplex theatres without major structural modifications, making them an attractive option for many theatre owners. While they don’t deliver the same level of immersion as True IMAX, they still provide a superior viewing experience compared to regular screens, making it a ‘better than standard’ option for many viewers.
Here in the UK we have only three ‘True IMAX’ screens with the correct 1.43:1 format; those being The National Media Museum in Bradford (interestingly the first IMAX location in the UK when it opened in the 1980s), The Printworks in Manchester & finally The Science Museum in London. Even the British Film Institute doesn’t run the true IMAX format screen!!
Can someone explain to me. Dune 2 was shot using Arri LF. Not IMAX camera. Why is this not a lie max? Yes you see more top and bottom, but not cause it was shot on IMAX but cause of open gate in arri. In theory they could have shown in regular theatre. I also understand that this was digital transfer to film stock to get the film look and halation. I still don’t understand why people need to see this in true IMAX? This isn’t Oppenheimer where the actual footage was shot on IMAX camera. Can someone explain to me?
@@zoneVgroup Great question, and this is worth a whole video in itself. So this is how I see it:
Original 'True' IMAX = Shot on 15/70MM FILM IMAX, this is the highest quality image ever divised, and also the largest FOV per focal length as the IMAX film frame is larger than any digital sensor out there
Digital 'IMAX' = A newer terminology, deriving from digital cameras that the IMAX corporation deem to be 'IMAX worthy'. These are classified as any "Large Format" camera sensors, that ultimately film in a 1.43:1 aspect or 'Opengate' Ratio. They get quite close to the relative field of view a 15 perf 70MM IMAX filmstock would get, but not to the relative quality. You ultimately get more field of view hitting the sensor versus regular 16 by 9 full frame sensor, and even more so than a Super 35 or APS-C sensor
Lie-Max = Now this is where it gets hotly debated, however, I see as like so... "Lie-max" is marketing terminology used to generalise an expanded aspect ratio viewing experience. I.e; a film shot digitally frame at 2.35:1 in most theatres, but having a "16 by 9" aspect ratio in select theatres. This is by far, furthest from the IMAX experience, and yes... you do see more, but it does tarnish the IMAX true name in my opinion.
However, alluded to in this video, IMAX film and if the company solely relied on it, would not be a successful business today. Hence exploring the opportunities elsewhere.
In short, TRUE, original IMAX is shot on 15/70 and projected that way. Digital 'IMAX' is shot on digital large format sensors, that do provide a closer to FOV as IMAX 15perf, a similar format look too, but lacks the resolution and film quality. Lie-max... really just limited to an 'expanded aspect ratio'
Worth seeing Dune in IMAX, for the 1.43:1 sequences, it still makes a visual difference despite not being shot on film.
@roup I think this movie is best in 1.43:1 because as you said there will be more top and bottom but I don't think IMAX70 or IMAX Dual Laser projection is that important. Since it's a digital-to-analog conversion, I think the max resolution is still topped at 4k, unlike Nolans's films which theoretically can be up to 18K.
Saw Dune 2 in 70mm at this very IMAX theatre yesterday, lucky to live in Melbourne! It was an incredible experience, the screen takes up your whole field of view and the bass shakes the seats, you could almost feel 'The Voice' going through you, amazing.
But it was filmed digitally .., so the 70mm is just a copy wich doesn’t make sense in my opinion .. I saw the 2019 40Y anniversary of Apocalypse Now wich was shot on Film in 35mm and 70mm and they used the original negative to creat a native True 4K scan wich they showed in theaters and it was mind blowing ! The details where phenomenal ! I saw last weekend At the same screen Dune 2 and it was meh … it looked good but no comparison to the Apocalypse Now film from 2019 ! I also have at home a true 4K disc from Alien and it to looks so much better than Dune 2 that I think why are they doing this ? Seeing that they shot digital and than it just gets transferred on a film seems like a scam to me
exactly, it's better to keep it digital, that way it doesn't lose quality, if it's filmed digitally there's no point in all the manual work, it was just putting it on the hard drive and that's it, but I think the point is to avoid piracy, since no one In addition to cinemas, there are players, if you use a hard drive, someone can copy it and in 1 day it will be out in high resolution on piracy sites.@@Harrock
@@JCproTTI believe my man was pointing out that because the 2019 _Apocalypse Now_ was sourced at least in part from 70mm film, it managed to provide the kind of "wow" factor that IMAX has been traditionally associated with, whereas _Dune Part Two_ did not. It _was_ filmed "digitally", but unfortunately, the cameras they used cap out at roughly 35mm of effective detail. If one had the opportunity to compare _Dune Part Two_ directly against _Apocalypse Now_ or any other true 70mm presentation, the former would come up very lacking, because it possesses only about 1/10th of the resolution.
Eventually, there will be digital cameras capable of nonchalantly filming 18K by 12K and this whole discussion will be moot. But in the meantime, unfortunately they chose to film with cameras that can't do better than 35mm, and that opens them up to this kind of criticism. I personally wonder whether they tried AI upscaling the footage so at least some of the potential of the 70mm prints could have been filled out. But I'm leaning towards: no. Because that would have taken a lot of time and would have required some close scrutiny, just for a dozen prints. Anyway, the guy was questioning the legitimacy of porting a ~35mm production over to 70mm and pretending like it's actually 70mm. That's completely fair. In IMAX's defense, the end result is still better than the comparatively miserable resolution of 4K projectors.
Which seats would you recommend?
@@parabelli as close as you can to the middle I think, but if the middle isn't available try further back rather than closer. The screen is so big that the closer seats make you crane your neck to be able to see it lol
One of Twelve - just like the heptapods in Arrival LOL
Wow what a connection! Perhaps Denis did have an influence here
JUST TWELVE??? WOW. I saw it at the Metreon last Sunday. I have never seen anything as immersive as I did with Dune Part Two in 15/70. This sets the bar in film making and I hope that more talented directors are given the freedom by the studios to make more epic films like Dune.
I know, it's wild and a bit sad, but I hope we see more in the future for upcoming releases. Better than none like Dune 1 that's for sure!
There is at least another one in Berlin, Germany which also shows in 70mm that isn't on the list
Is that IMAX 15 perf 70MM though?
If you’re talking about the fan preview screening, I don’t believe that was 1570 at any AMC. They’ve been showing Tenet in 70mm IMAX, so it’s not like you can swap in another movie. It was still full-frame 1.43:1, and I agree that it was immersive experience. I’m going back to see it on 70mm film to see the difference.
@@KonohasYeIlowFlashyes no one has seen the film in 15/70 publicly yet. All the fan first showings were in laser
Super lucky to see it in 70mm Imax here in Arizona. Super surprised we even have this screen here but im very grateful for that. Saw Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX and cant wait for Dune Part 2
Definitely seeing here when I’m in town!
I live in Boston and had to go all the way out to Providence, Rhode Island to see “Oppenheimer” in IMAX70mm. It was totally worth it.
I will do it again for Dune.
The Providence Place mall IMAX in providence is my local theater. I’ll be going this weekend can’t wait to see dune.
Nice! I hope you love it as much as I do, seeing Dune tonight on my end, will be keen to compare it to my Oppenheimer experience
The IMAX in reading, MA is also incredible. I would check out the specs, it’s much closer to you and it also has the but kickers!
@@brianbodedelacruz8741that theater is not 70mm. Providence was the closest option for New England to see Oppenheimer in a true 70mm projection
I don't think Providence had the 70mm IMAX
Saw Dune at AMC Metreon in San Francisco. The theatre was packed….at 6am. Just goes to show there is an audience out there who is hungry for this type of cinema. Let’s hope this opens a path forward for fellow filmmakers to try the same!
More original content and less woke garbage would bring back ticket sales.
🤣 i just bought my ticket to watch metreon, 3 weeks from now because all imax show times are sold out until then. I got my seat right in the middle with my buddies
I might have to head down and see it again, I just saw it here in santa cruz, absolutely amazing, would love to see the difference
@@dayjeremycope
@@dayjeremyjust say you discriminate people and are sad you can’t anymore
I am so lucky to like close to one of the few IMAX locations with a film projector. It's such a treat to be able to see these special movies in such a format
I’m a 45 minute subway ride to the AMC Lincoln Square in New York- so happy and surprised to see that it’s one of only 12 theaters in the world in true IMAX 15/70. I’ve already reserved seats for 2 showings of Dune: Part Two. Just went to see the reissue of Dune Part Two and Tenet- and both films still wowed me even though I’ve seen them multiple times. Thanks for the video!
I fly from where ever I am in Australia to watch 1570 mm films at Melbourne IMAX. I love the format and how they’ve kept film alive in a world that has become so digital. 4K laser 3D is also the best at IMAX too
That’s dedication! Nice! Hope you enjoy it when you visit here
It was so amazing to be at the early fan screening seeing Dune: Part Two front and center, just absolutely life changing of an experience. It was well worth the largest screen possible
So cool, glad you enjoyed it!
Just saw it in 4K digital IMAX version near Boston Massachusetts. Spectacular!!! I have no problems with this format. And the Audio was amazing.
Incredible work for such a small channel.
Very kind, in the end, trying to get more awareness to this incredible format
In Melbourne for a vacation. Watched Dune Part 2 in 1570 Imax, and by extension, my first and probably only 1570 Imax experience.
Will not be forgetting this experience.
omg i am super jealous, i live in New Zealand... not gonna make it over
im sure they'll do 're-runs' in the future!
Crazy never thought that Film were still a thing in theaters. Saw Dune Part 2 today, in an IMAX probably not true IMAX but the bass and all was crazy never felt so much and so strong bass. At one scene, not mentioning wichone, the bass was so strong it felt like the atmospheric pressure increased and I felt my eardrums move with it, never have I ever felt something likes this. It wasn't just vibration but realy like the feeling you get when you go up a mountain or into a tunnel. IMAX is just crazy.
I saw this at IMAX Melbourne. It was exceptional. I preferred Laser. The sound had more channels and had more contrast.
The quality wasnt as good as Nolan IMAX films as the digital intermedate is a 4k digital file. Then transferred onto 1570.
This tends to be forgotten by many folk leaving comments.
But the audio and overall presentation was stellar.
Nothing beats shot in 15/70 then projected in 15/70
100%, shared my thoughts as well recently. We're quite aligned here
@@DesignedbyKirk also agreed here. What did you think of the shots Denis opted to shoot in 1.43? I was personally disappointed and thought he made poor choices when changing aspect ratio.
The big action set pieces or the best looking shots weren't in 1.43, instead a bowl of porridge or a very quick few frames zoomed in of Paul's face were in 1.43. The amount of switches was jarring.
It's better to reserve the 1.43 for the big set pieces like No Time to Die/Batman v Superman/Force Awakens in my opinion.
I imagine the Nolan films do also go onto digital for various effects and such before being printed to film for viewing?
just watched this at AMC Altamonte which is a laser theater. Just wow, easily one of the most stunning films both in plot, sound, narrative and acting I've seen in maybe the last decade. D/V's DUNE has earned a place among the stars of best Sci-Fi films of all time.
I really hope more true IMAX screens will get built around the world. In Los Angeles, there’s a theater that still has its IMAX-sized screen but ended their licensing with IMAX, which is mind-blowing to me. Instead they show their own large screen format. I asked the manager if they could make it an IMAX screen again, and she said there aren’t enough 1.43 films to make it profitable and they currently don’t have a film projector. Seems like they’re leaving a lot of money on the table, especially with Oppie and D2.
Me too mate. Well said. My goal with these videos is to drive more awareness to the format. A small contribution to the big scope that is the cinema world, but hoping it makes a difference to encourage more to open up around the world
Which theater are you referring to?
Sadly it is highly unlikely. With more and more streaming service market size, it is pointless to have many cinemas, not even talking about imax, which is not good for the average cinema movies, only the premium ones that are not as common.
I am going to marry a multi-millionaire and build another one in Europe. Wish me luck. 🤞🏻🙏🏻
@@researchBuilding7 good luck! May build one in hungary? Lol
This is fantastic, thanks for making this!
You’re welcome!
Another great and super informative video mate! I have to go and check it out next time i'm in Melbourne :) Dune Part Two would be the ultimate experience!
Thanks heaps Flo! For sure, although I'm keen to give the new Sydney IMAX theatre a spin as well
So happy I live close to the only imax theatre w/ the projector in Canada to catch Dune 2 this week. But the screen is not wide, would love watch anything on that Melborne screen if I ever visit one day.
The Kramer IMAX Theatre in Regina Canada still uses 15/70mm film. It had a very successful run of “Oppenheimer” last year, but ran “Dune”, Pt. 2 in laser digital.
Laser was better in my opinion
I am lucky to live in San Francisco and was able to watch it in 70mm IMAX and it is definitely worth the hype. Denis took advantage of every inch of that massive format to showcase EPIC scenes. I already bought tickets to watch it again! 😅 👍
Just back from Dune Part 2 IMAX and it was mind-blowing experience
I saw Oppenheimer at West Edmonton Mall in IMAX 70mm was an amazing experience! Was disappointed (and jealous) we didn't get a Dune screening in 70mm film again but the IMAX digital was still a great experience.
It's the better experience
I just saw it at the SF Metreon in 70mm and it was insane! I did not realize there were only 12 theaters showing it in that format!
Thank you for doing this!
You’re very welcome!
I still love my local 4 screen theatre. Still uses gen 1 Dolby digital from the 90s
Didn't get to see it in 15/70, but still saw it in 1.43 GT Laser and it was absolutely incredible.
I love IMAX Melbourne - thanks for taking people inside!
Me too! You’re welcome!
I saw the 1570 version on the Thursday Dune 2 came out at the Melbourne IMAX. Absolutely incredible and made my trip to Melbourne much more special.
Wow that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed the whole experience and the trip to melbourne too!
I'm very fortunate to live near Irvine, didn't have to go too out of my way to see Oppenheimer, can't wait to see Dune next week!
I’m very privileged to have just seen it back to back days in both IMAX 70mm and IMAX Laser in San Francisco and Emeryville.
I would go see it two more times, it’s that special. Just astounding. We’re truly witness to our my generation’s Star Wars moment.
We had it in spokane until about 8 years ago they removed it.
Did you have a preference/ notice any differences? I’m keen to see the 70mm version myself but booking a ticket for a 70mm showing at IMAX Melbourne is tough at the moment, tougher than Laser
@@297fihsylaser was brighter I think, and it seemed to have a bit better sound system.
The 70mm theater is much bigger and I believe the screen itself has a taller aspect ratio so it’s truly the “full shot” as it was intended.
Overall I don’t think you’re going to notice it all that much, other than how striking the screen size is for 70mm (at least at the San Francisco location).
I feel very fortunate to live near a 15/70 theater, even more so after learning there are only 12 screens in the whole world showing it on film. Can’t wait to see it on March 1.
Im in Canada and i Just so happen to be within 1 hour of the one and only theatre in the whole country that is playing in 70 MM. Cant WAIT!!!!
Only 12 (IMAX) theater's, there were 30 theaters in the world are showing 'Oppenheimer' in Imax 70 mm.
@@andriandrason1318 are you just repeating what we already said?
My first time at the Melbourne IMAX was for Dune Part 1. It was near the front. It was a trade off of maximum immersion for quite a bit of neck pain haha. Worth it though. That viewing turned IMAX Melbourne into my designated movie cinema. Already booked in to see Part 2 three times on 1570 film, for the limited edition collectible filmstrips!
Nice! You’re very right in my opinion. Middle up the back is where it’s best
We always sit front and center
Im lucky enough to live in Vaughan Ontario. They use a 70mm film projector there instead of the 4k laser. Film looked and sounded amazing. Best IMAX experience I've ever had.
Im glad I watched this video. been wanting to see this and I am one of the lucky ones where there is a theater near by lucky enough to get 70mm
I saw that movie like 1 week ago in Leonberg, Germany and I must say it was really crazy. If you are ever there check that cinema out, especially because the seats are really really good.
Agreed. Saw it on tuesday in Leonberg, too. Before IMAX I very rarely watched movies, haven't been to a cinema in years. But this is exciting.
Watching it next week at this very venue. Looking forward to it!
Enjoy mate! It’s a blast!
I saw it at the Autonation Theater in Ft. Lauderdale, the only 70MM theater in Florida. And... my god. I'd seen it twice before in IMAX, but this felt like a whole other experience.
I'm going to New York this Saturday just to see this film in 70mm It's going to be epic
Saw dune at the irvine spectrum and it was insane had to go back and see it again because the first time we had the 2nd best seats and had to get the best the second time around
Didn’t realize that it was so rare. I just causally booked an IMAX session in Melbourne randomly because I live close to the area and got good seats.
Saw it in IMAX at Irvine Spectrum in Orange County in Southern California. Dead center in Row D. Absolutely worth it.
Nice! It sure was a delight!
Seeing it there next week, can't wait!
Videos like this make me proud that here in Germany in Leonberg we have the biggest screen in the world at 39x21m. Been there over 15 times. Imax is just different!!
Would love to see it one day!
@@DesignedbyKirk we can switch cinemas, I need the 70mm imax 🫶😂
Great video, Kirk. Thank you.
You’re very welcome!
Nailed it again Kirk!
Cheers! Hope you enjoy the film!
I was lucky enough to watch it in 70MM at BFI in London. Absolutely phenomenal. I make a pilgrimage to London every once in a while to watch films that are displayed in 70MM and it’s always special
Nice! I've heard a lot of that theatre, keen to watch it there
That was brilliant!
Thankyou!
I saw this in "IMAX" and was completely dissapointed they did not have the true IMAX experience like this. This is IMAX!!!
Great insight, thank you! :)
You're welcome!
That would be so awesome
I used to run a 70mm theater at a theme park, those reels are unbelievably heavy.
That’s awesome, I’ve heard they are insanely heavily. Even broken down
@@DesignedbyKirkI wonder if one copy will be cut up for sale to the public. I’d love to put a frame or two on my wall.
Kinda hoping Dune Part 2 stays in cinemas for a while. Getting a BFI Imax ticket is so tough in the UK - i've never been
You have to book a month in advance, I managed to get one around when you commented this for an early April screening. Did you have any luck?
@@Foxtrot5 unfortunately I didn't but I was able to finally see it at a Cineworld Imax. I saw Interstellar is re-releasing again later this year so aiming to get a ticket for that hopefully
@@GoogleMeFC I saw it at cineworld the first time too. Honestly I preferred that to BFI.
So proud to live near one of 12 1570 showing dune pt 2
Likewise, very grateful
Yeah I live near the 70mm IMAX in King of Prussia, PA - just like Oppenheimer the Dune 2 IMAX screenings at this theatre have been sold out for weeks. People traveling from other states to watch it here. Amazing film in the very best format.
I was able to see Dune in IMAX 70MM yesterday in King of Prussia .
And this was my first IMAX 70MM movie . And I was blown away that one was on film. And the sound system was freaking amazing . Before the best sound mix was the David Bowie 2022 Bio pic . Best visual Top Gun
Same. So good I had to watch it twice
@@forest5306 I'm still hoping Mad MAX is getting getting huge IMax release
It was such an amazing experience, i watched in AMC Lincoln Square yesterday on a 8:30AM screening. I remember the first goosebumps inducing scene and i thought to myself... "would it be as effective if i watched this in a regular imax showing?" i actually don't know, kind of tempting to find out.
This was really cool and interesting. Next time I'm in Melbourne I'm gonna plan an IMAX film in
Definitely give it a go!
06:33
I agree with the cameraman. IMAX Countdown trailer sets the mood for an epuc experience. I love the trailer for it's amazing sound.
Watched Dune 2 at IMAX (Liemax actually) 😂 but I really loved the film as well as the experience. The theatre opened a week before the show & the theatre was at it's full glory.
Luca definitely makes a good point! It really sets the mood
I traveled from Brisbane to Melbourne to see openheimer and it was absolutely worth it. The text in the credits was taller than me
That's dedication! Totally would of been
Love IMAX Melbourne…Dune 2 was just an insane experience
It sure was!
Saw it at Universal city walk 70mm. Amazing film
Saw it in 70mm IMAX in NYC. Also saw it in Dolby dual laser. They both have pros and cons. But from what I’ve seen online more people prefer it 1:43 Dual Laser IMAX. Guess it makes sense since it was shot digitally unlike Nolan movies which are shot on film.
I just got out of my fourth viewing of Dune 2 in 15/70. Takes my breath away every time.
Looked fantastic on IMAX 70mm in NYC . 70ft screen was epic . Preferred to laser. Movie Trailers were on laser projection and there was an annoying glare/reflection. Once movie started , that glare went away. Much much better. Looked fantastic on film
saw Dune 2 in IMAX and its amazing
It sure was wonderful!
2:28 lists the 12 theatres and I was thrilled to see where I am seeing it on Sunday in Indy has this print. It is a 2hr drive each way but I think it is going to be worth it.
Enjoy!
Is there a video essay explaining the benefits/processes of converting natively shot digital footage into film? I would LOVE to see it! 🤩
There is not! It was very hard to find info on, I’ll see what I can find!
@DesignedbyKirk , looking forward to it. 👍🏾
I would love to see this on film. Loved it with Oppenheimer, watch it in 70mm twice!.. but i did live pretty close to the cinema.
first tome ever watched 70mm today and it was out of this world
Great Video!
Thank-you!
Didn't understand a word ...but wonna see it because it sounds cool. 😊
Seeing Dune Pt2 on 15/70mm at the BFI IMAX Waterloo. London next week........ Cannot wait!!!🤤🤩
Enjoy!!
Saw it at the science museum a few days ago and it was insane, my first imax screen. Mind blown.
Hopefully this and Oppenheimer bring back a resurgence of film projectors. The audience clearly wants it and will sell out every show for weeks.
Saw it yesterday in hamburg on a 70mm projection in Savoy cinema!❤
Nice! Hope you enjoyed it!
The projectionist is MVP
They sure are!
I would have loved to seen this on 70mm but Even in Digital IMAX it was insane.
Just gonna save this for whenever Dune 3 is close to coming out XD I would like to see this in 3D this time
🎥🏜 Discover the allure of experiencing DUNE: PART TWO on 70MM IMAX Film! A rare cinematic treat that promises unparalleled visual grandeur. Don't miss this immersive journey! 🌟🎬
I got to see The Batman at Melbourne Imax in 2022. Incredible experience!
I saw Dunkirk last year at the reopened Sydney Imax and was wholly underwhelmed by the digital projector quality.
Hopefully, there will be a 15/70 showing of Mad Max Furiosa that will be worth going to Melbourne for.
So awesome! Yeah I feel the Sydney one is a bit too commercialised
I am going 10 a.m. to see it in 15/70 in San Fransisco. Row B, wish me luck.
Long live the front row!
I watched Dune in the largest cinema in the world (also an IMAX). It's in a little town in Germany, 20 min away from where I live. I feel so lucky :)
I've read about that record imax screen
I'm jealous. I paid extra to see the IMAX Laser at my local AMC and there was a terrible screen door like effect over the entire screen during any high contrast movement. It was distracting to say the least.
I would have LOVED to see it on 70mm film.
Ah what a shame. Maybe see it another time later!
Saw it yesterday :)
my family's going to Melbourne + Gold Coast this June for a 2-week holiday so i hope the screening of Dune 2 is still available lmao.
hopefully they'll be doing more runs then!
I saw it in 70mm in Indianapolis, looked great! Can you go into the differences your perceived between 70mm and the laser projection?
Dolby Vision experience is nasty .. I had the opportunity on Disney Springs OMG!! Planning to go and try what Imax can bring to the table with Dune 2 .. cause the experience with Dolby Vision the whole room trembled and the audio is nasty asf 🔥🔥
Nice👍 job sir😊
Thanks mate!
You lucky people, my country doesn’t have imax. Can you imagine my sadness? I watched it in regular cinema, will watch again
We are very lucky, I dope they open up more theatres throughout the world
Sane envy of you, fortunate Aussies. Let's hope we get this IMAX beast on my country in a not too distant future.
I hope so too!
After the recent transformations in the world we all know (problems, covid, etc), and how good one can have of a experience inside their own home, it really became this situation where, at least personally, I just really consider going to the Cine if it is an Imax screen.
And we have to drive One hour and half even from here to the nearest one. I will grant that the normal Cine Screens in my city are decidely a tad below average in quality, so there's that.
It is, and its feels like a blessing really everytime.
What a weird thing I just wrote 😅
Great video
You’re very welcome!
The IMAX theater I watched it in had a very soft picture. I was so underwhelmed.
I seen it in IMAX it’s amazing
Sure is!
I watched this in IMAX, was an INCREDIBLE experience.
Digital imax is inferior to 35mm projectors.
all comes down to personal preference
Mannnn would be awesome if they had another one for The Netherlands or Belgium
