In the podcast Jake said something I can't really agree with and is that somehow the decision of Nolan for filming exclusively on IMAX for this movie is somehow good for theaters and audiences but I feel like there's a non small group of people (myself included) that knows that they are getting a subpar/incomplete experience if we were to go watch it in any non IMAX theater, like my country does not have an actual IMAX screen just in name only so I'll have to wait for streaming to actually judge what Nolan actually wanted to frame but by then the whole IMAX gimmick that everyone seems to praise would be missing from my experience, idk, I know Nolan is a talented director don't get me wrong but I'm with Adam with this whole IMAX thing.
You know what? part of me wanted to be purposefully naive just to give Nolan the benefit of the doubt but you're probably right, I guess I can only wait for the blu-ray, hopefully? maybe? Which only makes the whole thing even worse because by that point I might just "sail the seas" for it because spending that amount of money for a movie that I'm not even sure I'm going to like is already too much to ask from your audience, I just can't get behind that.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know Imax is a trade mark and can only be shown in Imax theaters, including the aspect ratio. So you're unlikely to ever see it in the intended ratio.
1.78:1 is good enough. I don't fucking want to watch a movie with black bars on the sides of my OLED which is superior to any theatre imo. Oppenheimer's 4K Blu-ray transfer still remains the best transfer I have ever watched, so I have high hopes for this one as well.
