unlike most conventional film projectors, the film runs horizontally so that the image width can be greater than the width of the film stock.
Nolan could have filmed in any ratio he wanted. Choosing 4:3 is not a technical constraint.
OtakuAllTheWay@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
It’s the IMAX aspect ratio 1.43:1 to be precise. He just wants to fill the entire screen for the immersion. They still frame it as a 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 when they shoot it but in IMAX it just doesn’t show black bars and your entire peripheral vision is filled. Most of the on screen action still happens within that framing in the center.

Reminder that he didn’t give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.
You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.
I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.

Brother he’s a film director not a politician.

Following a negotiation between Nolan and Warner Bros. executives, the studio arranged for the film to be released in seventy countries, with a run time of 150 minutes, on August 26,[105][106][107] following preview screenings in Australia and South Korea on August 22 and 23.[108][109] The film opened in select cities in the United States on September 3, gradually expanding in the ensuing weeks.[105] On September 4, it was released in China.[110] The lack of available movies afforded it more screens per multiplex than would otherwise have been possible.[111]

them dates are before the vaccine became available. He drove a bargin as hard as he could, to get as many people to see the film as he could.
Yeah, he’s not a politican, but neither was Typhoid Mary.

Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And isn’t a tiny screen how Nolan watched the dailies while filming? He certainly didn’t have a 50’ screen in his trailer on the beach in Greece.
You are watching it exactly how Nolan watched it.
Glemek@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Since it was shot in film he probably watched it on a projector in a theater.
DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 month ago
You do realize he watched the dailies after seeing the filming live, right?

Normally I would agree, but if this is a bedroom and they’re lying down, I think the angle works. I actually want to raise my living room TV a bit (it’s on an entertainment stand, not the wall) because when I fully recline my recliner to stretch my legs, I’m looking down too much to be comfortable.

Needs a projector that can be rotated to project onto the ceiling.

I’ve been working my way through it via YouTube Shorts. It’s honestly not as epic as everyone says.

I think I’ve watched the entire thing once, but it was a struggle to get through it. So boring.

Different strokes for different folks. I actually liked Oppenheimer and have watched it once or twice at home after seeing the Barbenheimer double feature in the cinema. At the same time, I could see how you might find it boring. I just really like slow burn movies and shows
Hiro8811@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It doesn’t stand up to other Nolan films and the casting is shit, my opinion is to watch Project Hail Mary if you haven’t and rewatch if you did saw it
TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’m in a similar boat in I don’t think it was Nolan’s best work (at least, not my favorite of his works), but I don’t see where you’re coming from about the casting. Care to elaborate?

Not good enough, he demands people watch this film on a 70mm screen. So get out your GBA SP.

What is this shit with IMAX in The Odyssey etc? Can an American explain us?
If they need a new ratio why they don’t make it a new standard?
My CRT TV back then was 4:3 but for some reason it was too square for the modern industry…
RogueAozame@programming.dev 1 month ago
First off theres like 4 different versions of IMAX I’m not gonna get into the nitty gritty of each one and just talk about the relevant one. “True” IMAX is a proprietary film standard that needs a specific projector, screen, film, and theater size to be properly displayed. The projectors are no longer manufactured and there are an extremely limited amount of true IMAX theaters in the world like double digits limited. The big draw for IMAX for someone like Nolan and viewers is how much detail on a massive screen you can get. As to why they dont make a new standard theres a meme you can search for that summarizes when you make a new “better” standard it just becomes a standard. 16:9 is afaik a middle ground standard that most industries have settled on. Aspect ratios are a complicated topic with a lot of subjective expression especially in the world of cinema. In my opinion the outrage is a nothing burger cinema is art if Nolan wants to display it a certain way its his prerogative if someone feels that it diminishes the experience for them imo just dont watch it. They can also complain its none of my business what people do I just find it a bit ridiculous to complain about.

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
the most common type of IMAX nowadays is just running two 4k laser digital projectors, overlapping eachother so you get double the pixel density, at a much better contrast, and at 60fps.
Unfortunatly, that’s still less than half the resolution of the “old” 70mm horizontal film projector. But it gets rid of the absurd arc-lamp they have in the film projectors, which would be the envy of ww2 searchlight operators.
