To be fair I prefer the Dual 4K IMAX with Laser over 70mm anyways.

I had planned to go to IMAX Melbourne to see it in 15/70 but not sure if the state borders will be open by then. In any case, they're still running the projection systems through their paces during the closure.

Isn't 70mm and 1570 IMAX the same thing?
There's 70mm IMAX (aka 1570), but there's also non-IMAX 70mm

Holy shit I never knew it was gonna be that much different. So I don't think there are any real IMAX theaters in my area. All digital IMAX I'm pretty sure. So would that mean it would look like the top right pic? (Regal theater)

Back when there were still very skilled projectionists, I adored 70mm. TDK and TDKR were great on 70mm.

My viewings of Interstellar and the 10th anny of TDK were exhibited very poorly. Prints weren't taking care of, dust was constantly in the gate, etc.

Dunkirk on Dual Laser was near godly. A pristine presentation of 70mm is superior, but Laser would probably beat 9/10 presentations. Plus Laser has the better sound system.

Well that infographic leaves out IMAX with Laser (which wasn't a thing for Interstellar)

Question for those who live in the Orange County, CA area...
My plan is to watch Tenet in 70mm IMAX @ the Regal in Irvine Spectrum.
However, after doing some research, is it true that Regal removed the 70mm IMAX projector?
I know there was a major renovation to the theater (I went to a screening of SW: TROS; really to watch the Prologue) and it looked pretty incomplete. I'm not sure if they finished or not. You know, COVID happened...
Then I found this link: https://www.change.org/p/help-save-the- ... e-spectrum
So... yeah. :(
Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

If so... *sigh* ... well, at least I got to witness "Dunkirk" in glorious 70mm IMAX.
Regal Irvine Spectrum definitely renovated and installed laser, most likely single laser that is limited to 1.90:1. :judge:

Unless... do you remember the Tenet prologue filling the entire screen?

Does IMAX 70mm and IMAX Laser have the same aspect ratio?
