What option when the changing AR is the only thing available in a disc?

Buying already released material in an Open AR is not hurting you, your wallet or your feelings. Let people have their IMAX ENHANCED movies, if you don't like them then don't buy them. No one on this thread has advocated for only Open Matte films and incorrect AR. This is only you needing to be upset by something.

Are you bothering to read what sapiendut is saying?

Yes, I don't think he is reading what everyone else is saying on this thread. Pitchfork and torches for who?? Who is demanding and wanting only open matte and not OAR here? Explain?

[sapiendut]

Uou guys just don’t get it. Studios will not have both imax enhanced and scope only version of the same movie. Mark my word.

I doubt it. Any reason a Studio can get a fan to double dip they will. $$$ is king.

I think he’s referring to variable AR films that are already released. Which is fair if one wants a consistent ratio.

Studios rerelease films all the time, it’s not crazy at all. Directors cuts and unrated cuts were also a thing for a while and there’s only a few films that would have an open matte Enhanced release. Most Enhanced titles won’t have an expanded ratio.

Having watched A Beautiful Planet this is easily reference and one of the best looking titles I own. I love the IMAX DTSX HDR10+ package. I hope more are released soon.

Where can I buy this in Canada? I’ve checked Wally World, Best Buy and Amazon.ca but still can’t find it anywhere.

From all 5 Best Buy’s in my area, I was only able to find 3 copies of each at one of them so it may be harder to track down unless you’re willing to check each one. Weirdly, when I try checking their site, the pages for the titles go to error pages.

Also I have to +1 that these discs are great. I don’t have DTS:X capability at the moment so I can’t speak to that but visually, these were a treat!

"IMAX Enhanced" announced by DTS and IMAX this September will be fully operational from 2019. Partner companies and others will release IMAX Enhanced certified devices, and will release both distribution and package (4K Ultra HD Blu-ray) sequentially, and will have 20 to 30 titles in 2019.. Delivery is targeted for the first quarter of 2019 in North America and the second quarter of 2019 in Europe and Asia. Specific distribution service companies, etc. are scheduled to be announced at CES 2019 to be held in Las Vegas, USA at the beginning of the year."

Interesting! I wonder how many of those titles will be documentaries versus features and how many will be previously released versus being in “IMAX” for the first time ever.

I can't wait. Personally love DTS over Dolby and I believe DTS X sounds better. Plus more HDR10+ content is only a better thing.

Not necessarily because, all TVs may not adopt and support HDR10+. HDR10+ is not going to benefit the consumer, if their TV won't support it, and will never be updated by firmware.. LG is not going to support HDR10+ for sure because, HDR10+ is a replication of Dolby Vision develop by Samsung, which is LG's main competitor. LG is currently supporting and has implemented Dolby Vision on their TVs, and they will not support HDR10+. The only brands that's onboard to support HDR10+ as of now is Samsung (themselves) and Panasonic. Vizio, TCL and Sony are basically economical brands, and I doubt they're be willing to pay a license fee for HDR10+ to Samsung because, they don't want the extra expense, and it will defeat the purpose of their TVs being an economical product. I see that you have a Samsung TV, so you should be HDR10+ ready.

It's the mix more than the format at 7.1.4. I've heard true Atmos object mixes (no Disney print-outs) with Trinnov and JBL multi-speaker demos that absolutely kicked the stuffing out of DTS:X mixes I've heard.
