There is more than one OAR

Ready for pre-order at Walmart.com. Starting price of $30.06 is not too bad. It will probably go down before August.

It's there, but I suspect the UHD BD will be 'naked' and the supps all on the 1080 BD.

How could they include any IMAX scenes since no part of this movie was shot on IMAX cameras?

It was released in IMAX through the super power of upscaling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IMAX_DMR_films

That's the resentment with Digital "IMAX" or "LieMAX" these days. You don't need an IMAX camera to have the IMAX aspect ratio.

Joe Kosinski's previous movie, Tron Legacy also featured IMAX AR, even on Blu-ray, but no IMAX camera was used.

In Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn shot the whole thing with the ARRI Alexa at 2.8K resolution. But he decided with the IMAX 3D release, he would expand the image, even for the Blu-ray release.

Transformers: Age of Extinction used the Phantom 65, 4K 3D resolution. Captain America: Civil War's airport battle was shot with Alexa 65 at 6K resolution. They're "IMAX" cameras, but they're really just digital cameras with a larger sensor.

So even for Oblivion, even though no IMAX cameras were used, but there exists a version with an expanded image. And we want that for home viewing pleasure!

If they actually make a 4K master of it...

Aaaand that's another thing. Digital IMAX is just 2K+ resolution only. Not the most ground breaking technology.

The 12 or so that exist out of the hundreds of theaters.


RIP 15/70 - the highest res projection we will likely ever see in a theater.

The whole film was finished in 1.9:1 ratio for IMAX digital exclusive. Otherwise known as Open Matte.

My 1080p copy on my tv is not that dark. Looks like they've got the brightness cranked down.
