In Praise of IMAX and 70mm

Thanks to Laura for helping to get tickets early (saved $3 service charge on $15 tix) and Linda for dropping us off (saved on parking fees) for opening of Dunkirk in Imax and 70mm at Maryland Science Center which sold out quickly.  (I had never been there before, and it is a pretty cool place for kids and adults.) This was by far the best format for experiencing this tribute to the participants in a monumental event at the beginning World War II.
The images were stunningly sharp and the film aspect was way taller than anything normally projected, so you had a remarkable, full view of much more than even widescreen.  This was how director Christopher Nolan intended this film to be seen, and it is worth it.  This is the kind of film event that justifies the format. There is nothing quite like it especially for those who appreciate film or desire a unique cinematic presentation. I will review the film later this week.
