How do you find a film-IMAX theatre these days? Is this link accurate?

Because if so, almost all of us are shit out of luck. I live in DC and I'd have to drive 2hr or so.

King of Prussia seats (center-ish and towards the back) are basically reserved out until August. Even if you want to drive out there you'll have to wait. That's how rare these projectors are lol.

My cousin is flying across half of Canada to stay at my place so we can watch it on 15/70.

What is 15/70? It's not a date, not a time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

15/70 is the IMAX film format, using horizontal frames, 70 mm tall and 15 perforations across, in comparison to regular 70mm (large format) film which has much smaller frames turned vertically that are ~5 perforations tall.

Thinking about it now, I probably should have guessed it given the context. Hindsight and all that. 😆

I'm going to make a 3 hour drive to my closest real IMAX. Haven't had the pleasure to even see a mini IMAX film and am a fan of Nolan's work so I'll make the time.
