The IMAX place here just reopened after months of renovation. Should I see Solo there, or not worth it?
Meh. I saw it on a small screen and it didn’t seem like I missed out on much.
There were no scenes shot in IMAX that I noticed. If you don’t have to go too far out of your way to get there it’s a fine way to see it. I don’t think the sound system at my local IMAX is up to snuff as it was the when I saw the first Abrams Trek movie there. Almost like they’ve dialed back the subwoofers.
Really blows there were no IMAX film prints made this time. I worry they aren’t going to bother for Episode IX now. 😕
Solo was an Alexa 65 production like Rogue One. They shot with spherical lenses, which means they could have opened up the frame for the IMAX version for any scene in the movie if they’d wanted to.
As far as I know, they kept it at 2.40:1 for the entire movie in the Imax version.
I guess there would’ve been something wrong about shooting parts of The Last Jedi in actual 15-perf 65mm film only to keep everything at 2.40:1 in the Imax version and then opening up the frame in the Imax version of the movie that didn’t even shoot on actual celluloid.
