2nd viewing tomorrow in Digital IMAX. Let's see how much of a drop in quality this is from 70mm IMAX.

It's won't be as good, but it still looks stunning in Digital IMAX. I'm doing my second viewing tomorrow in 70mm.

2 x 70mm / 2 x IMAX. A nice balance.

I'm probably going for a fifth viewing sometime next week to end it all.
Which format did you like best?

Yeah I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts on this Bacon. I did that with Interstellar, watched first in 70mm and then Digital and it was a pretty significant difference for me.

Just finished seeing Dunkirk for the first time (in IMAX laser) and I honestly don't know what to think of it. I was kind of underwhelmed though, probably because I was expecting it to be more like the prologue. I felt as though some scenes were completely unnecessary, like
when Tommy prepares to take a dump on the beach? Like I didn't wait three years just to see that
But I'm not going to draw conclusions just yet until I see it again in a few hours (in 1570 film) and have time to process what I just witnessed

Edit: I take that back, a second viewing helped a lot. I now think this is up there as one of Nolan's best

It will settle at like #13
I don't know, didn't Interstellar debut super high and then drop?

Sounds like me after my first viewing. :lol:

It gets better the second viewing; the film is a masterpiece.

Yeah, did he go or not?

If he went, then that means he didn't wipe, which he went through the entire movie with leftover poo on his butt.

If he didn't go, then that means he probably went when the torpedo hit, which is even more gross.
It's one of those things where I understand why it's in the film, but I personally would have preferred if it hadn't been.

And LOL yeah, the video doesn't explain crap.
