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
