I finally got to a 15/70 presentation of Oppenheimer at the Regal Cinemas Irvine Spectrum.
I had the best seat in the house. As the projector spun up I knew I was in for a cinematic experience I had not had since 2001 (The year, not the film)
The presentation was excellent. bright, rock steady, zero scratches, only the occasional bit of dust. If this is indeed the print they've been running since July, it's amazing how well it has held up. Much credit must go to Kodak, PhotoKem, Imax, and Regal.
I was hoping for Lawrence Of Arabia with nuclear physics.
I didn't get either.
However, I do hope the commercial success of Oppenheimer will make big film presentation available to movie makers with vision to match the grandeur and richness of the format.
