Chinese megahit Wolf Warrior 2 is taking over some U.S. IMAX locations this weekend. It's an IMAX 2D release, but since it's that way in China as well, and in fact seems like there is no 3D release at all in America, plus perhaps due to the Russo brothers influence there is a lot of handheld and fast cut action sequences (which wouldn't aide 3D), seems like a pretty ideal way to see the movie.
As often is the case with the Chinese blockbusters I've seen, there could be more nuance and subtly in the story, and the CGI is very dodgy (probably due to the lower budget), but the action sequences definitely deliver, and actually has a very 80's R rated action movie feel. Aside from the CGI, image quality was very nice in IMAX, and while it was maybe too loud in a couple scenes, really nice sound mix (saw from the credits that it has an Atmos mix as well).
