I could make a 2 hour trip to see it in 70mm, or see it in IMAX in my neighborhood. Is the difference significant enough to warrant a special trip?

I’m driving 2hr to see it in 70mm imax. Closest screen is in Vancouver, so we’re making a long weekend trip out of it. I think if you like movies a lot and you want to make your own event out of it, go for it.
We used to have a 70mm theatre in my city and when they’d do events like for epic movies it was incredible. I feel like Oppenheimer might be similar
I saw the Hateful 8 in 70mm, and it was totally worth it. But, it had an intermission, and dialog was easy to follow.
But Nolan films are a different verse l beast, I’m going to wait to watch it at home cause, pause, rewind and subtitles.
Hateful Eight was shot and presented on 5/70 mm film. That’s a frame that is 5 perforations tall and 70mm wide. That gives you about 3.5 times the surface area of standard 35mm film, though at a much wider aspect ratio.
IMAX is 15/70, so the same frame width as 5/70 but three times as tall. Though you actually inverse the width and height metrics because IMAX film is run through the projector horizontally rather than verticallly.

I’m so glad I watched Hateful Eight in 70mm. That was one experience I’d love to repeat.
I hope that you enjoy it! I’ve heard that the Vancouver screen in Langley is a bit iffy.
Uh oh, I haven’t been before, hope that it’s good enough🙀
