They're still just fun spy movies. Even the most high quality ones (From Russia, Spy Who Loved Me, Goldeneye, Casino, etc.) are just fun spy movies.

Shouldn't have gone to the SPECTRE Wikipedia page. They plastered a massive spoiler in the very first line. And I don't mean the plot summary. I mean at the top of the page. Granted it was a predictable spoiler everyone was guessing nearly a year ago, but I could've done without having it confirmed. Avoid that page at all costs til the movie opens.

Let me guess, Waltz is playing

[Show spoiler]Margaret Thatcher?

I saw it yesterday I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall

[Show spoiler]It was obvious from the announcement of Christoph Waltz and that the film is called Spectre that he was going to play Blofeld to thats hardly a spoiler. I thought the end was cheesy with Blofeld being arrested and Bond walking away with the girl, Blofeld should have just disappeared. But what do I know

Yep. It's the ending of For Her Thighs Only all over again.

Based on IMDB, the aspect ratio of Spectre shifts on some scenes. Can someone who has seen this in IMAX confirm?

Mexican Government slammed for paying $28 million to Spectre makers to make Mexico city look like something its not.

Aspect ratio was constant when I saw it, no shifts.

It's a James Bond film, not bloody Amores Perros. Who the **** cares?

Meh, I see where the critics are coming from. I dunno how much tourism Mexico City typically gets but I'm sure the government is trying to help that industry. It's a Bond movie though, not a documentary.

London does not look like Skyfall either

So, still worth seeing in IMAX?

The film has only a 5.1 track no Imax 12 channel, 7.1 or Dolby Atmos.

I think it was too late for anything but a 5.1 mix.

Great movie as well.

Wrongo! DCP details are up and the film is actually in 7.1! Seems like Sony decided not to be lazy this time around.

I assume still in 2.4:1? The 1.9:1 version of Skyfall was painfully bad all that dead space at the top.

Meanwhile, it's nice that it's in both 4k and 7.1. Theatre where I'm seeing it on Thursday is set up for both so it, so it should be great.

Finally a 7.1 track for a James Bond movie.
