That is indeed the case. I'm more flexible than some on here though-- the likeliest scenario is being able to get it on digital, or it could possibly end up as something to exclusively stream on Paramount+ or something (do they even do 4K? Not sure). I'd go for that if nothing else.

But yeah, I'm not holding my breath or anything.

^ for anyone curious, if the Burj khalifa scene is all u care for to watch in expanded IMAX ratio, that particular scene in IMAX enhanced is there on Youtube but obviously on inferior/compressed resolution

Anurag1700 · 07-17-2021, 10:26 AM

^here is the YouTube link for the Burj scene in opened up IMAX Aspect ratio

Agent Kay · 07-17-2021, 11:33 AM

Wrong ratio, just the HDTV open matte

Anurag1700 · 07-17-2021, 03:10 PM

^interesting. Just wondering and excuse me if dumb question. Is there a sure shot way to identify if the opened up aspect ratio is because of hdtv open matte or is it imax source reformatted to 16:9 tv ?

Ghost protocol for 30 mins filled an IMAX screen, the best comparison is the new Batman v Superman disc

It's a shame the UHD of Hunger Games: Catching Fire didn't use the expanded ratio for the IMAX sequences, otherwise that would probably hold the record.

Agent Kay · 08-01-2021, 07:55 AM

Yeah, that's why I never upgraded the series.
That was an awesome transition

Hydra Spectre · 08-25-2021, 05:55 AM

We have a new 4K UHD release with EVANGELION:3.333 YOU CAN (NOT) REDO., but this only has SDR and LPCM 5.1, even if King Records and Studio Khara consider it an IMAX Enhanced 4K UHD release.

Maybe we can get the rest of the Rebuild of Evangelion films (or maybe just Shin Eva) in IMAX Enhanced 4K UHD.

I take it Disney will use lossy Dolby Atmos instead of lossy DTS: X, I would assume.

Agent Kay · 11-08-2021, 07:03 AM

Yes they are DV and Atmos

Well, at least we’ll know that the DNR on Iron Man 1 won’t just be a Disnee thing this time lol

The marketing has come such a long way that open-matte is now called Imax!

IMAX has to find some way to stay relevant. I guess with DTS, especially their DTS: X format, that ship may have sailed.

MattPerdue · 11-08-2021, 01:20 PM

Gonna be neat to see the open-matte versions of Infinity War and Endgame but man it pisses me off these weren't made for disc either. Guess I shouldn't be surprised though.

avs commenter · 11-08-2021, 01:35 PM

Hell yeah, this is awesome news.

I know it's only like one scene, but would still like to see TFA in Imax
