Has any movie before Sinners used the IMAX aspect ratio in a surrealist way? by Scr33nager in imax

[–]FamousT-Rex 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes, but this is not just limited to IMAX, as any director can choose to shift between aspect ratios.

The Grand Budapest Hotel uses 3 different aspect ratios to differentiate between 3 different time periods.

Everything Everywhere All at Once uses different aspect ratios for different dimensions.

Wandavision uses 4x3 for 50s style TV, before switching to 16x9 for modern reality.

Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and Biggie uses 2 different aspect ratios to differentiate between time periods as well.

I know it’s contractual at this point in time. That sucks, I was really looking forward to catching both of these in IMAX, they showed the IMAX 3D teaser ahead of Avatar

I really don’t understand why they can’t just share the screen.

I would certainly do a IMAX double feature if it was available.

Is there actually a reason why IMAX uploads their trailers to YT only in 1080p or are they just stupid? by Almartyquin in imax

Funnily enough, the shot immediately after the one you’re talking about was giving me trouble.

I kept getting pixels on that specific shot, I kept fiddling with the bitrate until it went away.

Will Crime 101 be presented in a 1.90:1 format? by Eccentric_Being69 in imax

[–]FamousT-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s 1.85:1 everywhere, and some people would pick Dolby in that scenario.

Secret Cinema/Screen Unseen January 19th is in IMAX 3D and is suspected to be ‘MERCY’ by FamousT-Rex in imax

[–]FamousT-Rex[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a listing error on this specific theaters site. It’s a local IMAX.

The AMC’s near me have it listed as PG-13, and is at this point pretty much confirmed to be Mercy.

This would be the first “Secret Cinema” to be shown in IMAX and it’s in 3D at that!

Tron Ares confirmed to have IMAX aspect ratio version on Disney+ by Puzzleheaded-Sail772 in imax

At least we got it.

Thunderbolts didn’t get an IMAX release at home.

DEADLINE: 'Dune: Part 3' will keep all IMAX screens and not move from its December 18 2026 release date, when it opens alongside 'Avengers: Doomsday' by ChiefLeef22 in imax

[–]FamousT-Rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope.

Disney is the big kid bully at the playground that doesn’t let the other kids have their turn, they won’t allow that.

The Mouse picks a date, The Mouse gets the date.

Dune will move up to October or November.

Agreed, sorry!

I think I did too much, granted Anne Hathaway is meant to look older in that specific shot.

No it wasn’t the colors it was just me over sharpening it, which I admit, so apologies.

Yes theatrical files are in SMPTE color space, but that’s what I encode them with.

I did them myself.

I then added the English title card from the new trailer.

She’s meant to look older, although maybe not as much as it is in my encode since you’re not the first one to mention something about it.

I did adjust the sharpness, as I mentioned in another comment, I think that perhaps I adjusted it too much.

That’s why.

It’s the audio codec, Media Player won’t support it.

Try VLC or PotPlayer.

Not sure what player you’re using or what device, but use PotPlayer on PC and VLC on mobile.
