The vague part is 100% intentional imo, the point of making "hypothetical civil war" is to level it with natural disaster. If you look at it like it and a accept it all as "It just war cuz war" you'll understand the plot differently
I fully understand and acknowledge that it is intentional, but I think it is still a mistake. The story, which was already gripping, would have been even more intense and memorable if they changed it slightly.
If someone told me after watching it that it had been made by "the asylum" I would have believed them. It was the worst movie I have ever watched in the theatre in my 50+ year life.
This movie was not shot in IMAX not even portions of it. So going to see it in IMAX is kind of a waste of money. If you want to have a better theater experience go watch it on 35mm if you can find it.
Interesting. My understanding was that it was shot "for IMAX" even though it wasn't shot "on IMAX" the way Dune or Oppenheimer were. Is that what you are referring to?
@@perligo okay so you need to be careful when you hear the term “shot for IMAX” which basically means it wasn’t really shot in IMAX but it was shot in a way digitally that it can be blown up to scale on an IMAX screen. Now Dune for example in my opinion was not shot on IMAX either. Real IMAX is 70mm film. Dune was shot on digital cameras with IMAX “sanctioned sensors” which means the IMAX company okayed these cameras. And it seems more and more every day they’re okaying more cameras. But to me the resolution of these cameras still doesn’t match the 70 mm film IMAX.
Interesting, I didn't realize Dune was being misleading with that. Because it's showing on 70mm, no? Also, my understanding is that true IMAX cameras shoot on 65mm, not 70mm, is that correct?
@@perligo I do remember Dune being shown on 70mm which I would have jumped on the chance of watching it that way. Even though Dune and Civil War were shot digitally they did make film prints of them either on 35 or 70mm which in my opinion it’s just my opinion improve the quality of the image. That’s why I recommend watching it that way. So that’s sort of correct yea true imax cameras shoot on film. Now when it comes to the difference between 65mm and 70mm it’s a little confusing to me because it sounds like it’s the same thing. But one explanation that I’ve heard is that when the film is being shot it’s 70mm but when it’s printed it’s printed on 65 mm in order to make room for the optical track. I remember going to see Joker (which was shot digitally) in 70mm. But back to Dune. So even though there are 70mm print versions of Dune out there it’s not the same as IMAX 70mm. What’s the difference? Regular 70mm runs vertical just like 35mm. IMAX 70 runs horizontal through the projector. Also one frame on an imax film print is equal to two frames on a regular 70mm. One more thing to note. It’s important to know and understand that not all theaters are true imax theaters. Some people like myself call these fake theater. LieMax. If they do not project in the horizontal 70 mm film and of course have a huge screen then it’s not a real IMAX theater 😉
