No one else does, either.

Just wait until he finally becomes the man to give as the definitive DUNE adaptation.

Indeed, despite my worst fears of Ridley acting as reverse Midas and potentially meddling his way trhough.

In addition to the expanded AR IMAX created a custom countdown for the movie too.

Because people are dumb.
Star Wars isnt even science fiction its space fantasy filled with mysticism and mythological heroes and villains.
Also, smart people can enjoy both without feeling the need to bash one for the sake of the other.

Damn, those impressions are nice. The last trailer was making me start to worry a bit.

Hell yeah hell yeah! I saw Dunkirk in 2D IMAX and it was pretty great, looking forward to this! I saw some movie in 3D IMAX a few years back and it wasn't great, so I've avoided it ever since.

I was always confident Villeneuve would deliver but these impressions are even more positive than I was expecting,

Completely forgot about that. Hmmmm. IMAX has re-entered the battle.It's gonna be like Skyfall where the AR will be opened up to 1.9:1
True IMAX vs Dolby Cinema...
EDIT: YO Ashhong that's weird.

Do I need to watch the first Br to watch this one?

Shot on Alexa Mini digital camera, no film.
It's kind of annoying how IMAX is trying to make it look like the framing of the 'scope version will be substantially compromised; I'm certain that is not the case. It will be interesting to see the differing composition choices.

Stoked beyond belief. Watched the first trailer and I've been in the dark since then. Got tickets to watch this on premiere day, so needless to say I'll be there day one.

I would say so just based on the trailers.
I don't know what that means. But looking at that GIF above, IMAX seems to be the way to watch it. Would a Dolby theater have that "standard' aspect ratio?

One of the tweets says that you don't need to, but it'll aid in your enjoyment.
It's a direct sequel. Not a reboot. So, I'd go ahead and watch the first one. It's one of the greatest sci-fi films in history.

Well I'm confused now. What's AR?
Just trying to figure out if going to the IMAX experience is worth it or not.

That's a marketing GIF, don't get too worked up about it.
I'm going to ATMOS for my first screening and then I'll probably check out the IMAX digital version for my second screening.
It is a damned shame that ATMOS and IMAX can never be combined.

Aspect ratio.

I actually think the biggest obstacle to the film will be people judging it by the standards of the original, which was made in a different time and place.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

It's not lost per se, but something was lost. For example, the smoke, humidity and heat of the city street sets of the original were inhuman conditions, and that influenced the tone and performances of the film. Scott would have a fiasco on his hands if he pulled that today, he nearly did then. A lot of this argument is self evident, which makes this point annoying to myself as much as it is to those who want modern filmmaking to be just as meaningful.

One of the greatest sins of ONLY GOD FROGIVES is that Gosling is barely sexy af at all in it.
But the IMAX will have a bigger AR right? I'll probably try that first and then Atmos after

Man, art doesn't become meaningful because of the circumstances of it's creation. It becomes meaningful because of the completed work, that's it. 'Lest we consider The Revenant the greatest film this decade (it's a bad movie).
There's any number of wonderful, meaningful, nuanced films coming out every year.

It will have a taller aspect ratio. Which means the composition will be different, not necessarily better.

You're falling for IMAX's marketing bs. The film is not shot in Imax nor is it designed for it. The aspect ratio might be a little different but more != better unless it was intentionally designed.
