Sa tingin niyo ba mapupuno yung IMAX ng MOA sa sabado dahil sa Oppenheimer? Balak kasi namin manuod and doon na mismo bumili ng tickets.
Unlikely. Not all of us, cinephiles, want to spend ₱600+ for a dimly-lit, Xenon-projected digital LieMAX we mostly have here. Isa lang ata IMAX dito sa Pinas naka-Laser projector, and somehow I recommend it.
I've watched a couple of films in local IMAX before (Inception, Monsters vs Aliens, Megamind, Doctor Strange) and I didn't think it was all that superior to just normal cinema. That's why I'm not that enthused when a new movie has that option.
I remember back then when Interstellar was released here on IMAX, and it was a really good-looking film. Maybe because that was actually projected on IMAX film format and updated projectors. I noticed the dimmer projection when I saw another Nolan's film Dunkirk on IMAX, and since then it went downhill, except Top Gun: Maverick.
These films were not made specifically for IMAX, though.
Ito ba yung nasa Vista Mall? I have heard it na rin kaso mas malayo na sa amin...
Yes :). Their IMAX are much taller than most IMAX screens here, and Nolan shots his recent films on 1.43:1 aspect ratio.
Sorry for late reply pero thank you sa info! Will consider this sa next film ni Nolan after 3 years hahaha
Hindi naman siguro. Then again, not everyone knows that our IMAX are incapable of playing Oppenheimer as intended and will troop to those theaters anyway.
Edit: I stand corrected. MOA can play Oppenheimer as intended BUT it's unknown if the strip they're receiving is exactly how Oppenheimer should be viewed.
