70/65 mm films on Blu - Blu-ray Forum

Buffalo66 · 10-14-2010, 11:26 PM

I'm really interested in buying some blu-rays with films shot on 65 mm film. Maybe we could list films that are released in the U.K. I recently bought Baraka and it took my breath away in regards to picture quality. The sound and the film itself was also superb.

2001: A Space Odyssey: Panavision 70mm.

Baraka: Todd-AO 70mm

The Dark Knight: IMAX Sequences.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen: IMAX Sequences (US Big Screen edition opens up to 1.78:1).

I know there are a few more, but these are the ones which I have in my collection. The follow up to Baraka is again, shot in 70mm, but its still under production: Samsara.

I already have 2001 on DVD but will get the BD soon.
I didn't know they are making a sequel to Baraka. That is fantastic news!

2001 on blu-ray is amazing. At its current price, its a steal.

Hopefully it will be just as breathtaking as Baraka. PQ should be better, as it will be a brand new negative, straight from the camera

Sadly the STUNNING picture of Grand Prix is not available on blu-ray, but only the late format HD DVD.

I'm sorry I can't show you any screenshots of this. I did own it, but have sold all my HD DVD's and player and this title was absolutely the king! So sad it is not available.

Could it get any better than Baraka though?

Well Fantasia 2000 will be coming in November as a bundle with the original Fantasia, so if you are into some animated IMAX, heres your chance.

Theres also a few documentaries out for it, like Blue Planet if you want that.
