So does anyone have any solid info about how much of the film was shot on 70mm IMAX film? Also, has anyone found a list of which imax theaters in the U.S. will be showing what version? I found a list naming the 10 theaters that will show it on true imax film projection, but there’s a full sized imax laser that is SO much closer to me. As much as I’d love to see it on imax film (like I did for TFA) I’d be happy to settle on the imax laser experience if I know I’m getting the full image (some imax laser shows open up to the full frame equaling the 70mm film projection, while others only open up to the same size image as “liemax” digital shows which are still cropped vertically compared to 70mm imax film. The parts shot on 35mm will always be shown in scope, no matter which theater you’re in).

I saw Dunkirk on the full size imax laser and as much as it pains me to admit (because I’m a big nerd who loves the actual medium of film), I’d have a hard time telling the difference between it and imax film. It was really good.
