I could make a 2 hour trip to see it in 70mm, or see it in IMAX in my neighborhood. Is the difference significant enough to warrant a special trip?

    I’m driving 2hr to see it in 70mm imax. Closest screen is in Vancouver, so we’re making a long weekend trip out of it. I think if you like movies a lot and you want to make your own event out of it, go for it.

    We used to have a 70mm theatre in my city and when they’d do events like for epic movies it was incredible. I feel like Oppenheimer might be similar

      I saw the Hateful 8 in 70mm, and it was totally worth it. But, it had an intermission, and dialog was easy to follow.

      But Nolan films are a different verse l beast, I’m going to wait to watch it at home cause, pause, rewind and subtitles.

          You can’t get the experience of watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent with a packed house of strangers who all had no idea what they were in for. Or Everything Everywhere All At Once.

          I go to theaters for the social interaction.

      What if OP doesn’t own a TV or wants to experience the film “properly”? I’m sure there’s a reason they’re asking instead of just staying home.

        For a biopic of that length, “properly” includes a pause button. And with Nolan’s sound mixing probably a rewind to figure out what someone said.
