While I appreciate the effort, what's even the fucking point, when there are only a handful of real IMAX theaters left in the entire world? (Less than 30 that still have real 70mm projectors, last time I checked.) Everything else is digital LieMAX bullshit.
Hell, most people who aren't tech-minded don't even know what the hell I'm talking about. Very few people have the opportunity to see a real IMAX film, and even fewer would appreciate the benefits of 70mm film over a digital 4K projection (or 2K if it's an older theater, which is literally 1080p). That's the main thing I'm upset about, that there's almost nowhere left to see a real 70mm projection (and none of the remaining locations are anywhere near me), all because theaters want to save a little bit of money by replacing their projectors with cheap digital garbage with an inferior resolution.
Shipping massive film rolls is a logistical problem. And you can't infinitely copy film rolls either. 70mm in theatres is an outdated format that's not scallable for the future. Although I can see how 70mm improves picture quality even after digitizing to 4K: colors, contrast and dynamic range is much better.
