Default Oblivion (Joseph Kosinski, 2013) IMAX aspect ratio poll




This movie is being released in Digital IMAX. I just came back from a Digital IMAX screening. The entire movie is framed in approximately 1.78:1, though there are brief
[Show spoiler]black-and-white memory flashbacks
that are framed in 2.40:1. (This is the opposite of Tron: Legacy, which was primarily 2.40:1 but switched to 1.78:1 for the action sequences.)

Do you want Universal to release the IMAX version on Blu-ray? If yes, in which configurations?

First of all I will see in both presentations and enjoy both for different reasons.I have never seen a major motion picture in true IMAX 15/70 EVER.
I found the Pacific Science Center here in Seattle that exhibits true IMAX.

Secondly please change the title of the tread. The wording on the front page makes it look like a dolt made a duplicate thread.


IMO "Oblivion Aspect Ratio Poll IMAX" would have fit.

BTW I am not sure and always wondered how members view thread titles.
I am purely front page Blu-ray.com, I never dial down to sub sections. I just play with what is most popular unless I want to revive my own thread or post on a movie I have never seen.

Many of the reviews say the visuals are the best thing about the film. But they also say it's rather pedestrian and takes liberties from better movies before it. I want to see it, but will wait to see if the RT meter inches up above 70% by Friday.

I'm just glad that I am getting out of here soon, the people aren't exactly the nicest either.

Oblivion does look really good though. I don't really care what reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes have to say about it to be honest. If they like it that's great but if they don't I will still watch it sometime. I like to form my own opinions.

+1

I thought it was a very good film, if I concentrated on movies on taking liberties and borrowing from other films I probably wouldn't have watched hardly any films in the past 30 years !!!

Well, if a night out at the movies wasn't so darned expensive, maybe I could afford to not care. So if the consensus of a wide range of reviewers from various media platforms is positive about a film, it's probably a safe bet it's not going to suck. I'd never make my decision based on just one reviewer.

Being shot in 4K with the Sony F65 was definitely going to make this film a visual masterpiece I'm curious how M83's score turned out?

Music score is online:

The best track is "Canyon Battle". The whole sequence was over-the-top intense.

Super cool thanks, quality too on my HT.


a bit Zimmer-ish
