It's a pretty standard theatrical release for Oscar season, limited release (mostly New York and LA) in December, wide release in January.

I could see it now, but I'm waiting till it shows up.in IMAX or Dolby Cinema.

Indeed, it's a truly great film. Saw it a second time yesterday, this time in IMAX (first time in Dolby Cinema). Definitely recommend seeing it on the biggest screen you can find. It's a technical masterpiece for sure, but it's also an incredibly impactful and emotional film too.

[imsounoriginal]

Tentatively planning to see it in IMAX next weekend (assuming it's still there).

Already saw it once, standard DCP with Atmos, but IMAX is its own beast.

[LordoftheRings]

This one is going to big big in UHD 4K Blu-ray. ...The biggest one ever, bigger than Apocalypse Now Final Cut...Altmos.

Indeed -- and a must-own on video release day, which I guesstimate will be in early April ...

[LordoftheRings]

April is perfect...Easter (April 12).

Although I wasn't a huge fan of the film (I mean, I was impressed, just not over-the-moon about it), that really does look gorgeous. I may have to pick-up the 4k -- heck, maybe giving it a second chance would alter my reaction to the film in the end.

Blu-ray.com review

[MifuneFan]

Bit of a low score for extras in my opinion. It has 2 commentary tracks, one being from Roger Deakins, which is awesome, in addition to about 35 mins on the making of the film.
