You're missing a huge thing for this video. Films like Force Awakens only employed 1:43 for one scene around ish 1 minute seemingly for marketing purposes. The rest of the film was shown in a normal aspect ratio. It's rare for a film to actually be shown in 1:43 all the way through

[@KDCloudy]

Cool list! Love that you guys are making more IMAX content lately. One more film (and interesting trivia) to note in the “shot on 1.43 but never released list” is The Prestige Nolan liked working with IMAX for Batman Begins’ DMR process (whose few minutes were upscaled to 6K and then printed onto 70mm film, rest in 4K) and wanted to try out working with an IMAX camera for TDK The Prestige turned out to be the testing grounds for it, and they shot the finger cutting scene on IMAX 65mm film, but downscaled it to 35mm just to see how it would intercut with the other filmstock. This was also the first time IMAX film was downscaled to 35mm This was said by IMAX CQO David Keighley on few interviews.

[@jmalmsten]

One niggle I have is that aspect ratio isn't always inherently related to size. Scope is wider than 1.43:1 and therefore can be projected bigger, same thing with 4:3 or 1.33:1. It's taller but not necessarily bigger. I love movies shot for 1.43:1. But I also love movies shown in the intended ratio. The ratio the image was composed for. And I therefore love movies in 2.40:1, 2.76:1, 1.90:1, 1.67:1, 1.50:1... Etc etc So... I just love movies, I guess.. and I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about their shapes.

[@FrameVoyager]

Oh, I love movies too in any ratio. IMAX is just a fun one to cover because it seems to get people so riled up haha. I've actually considered maybe doing some aspect ratio series and making lists of films in weird formats.

Yeah this hype for IMAX is just weird, 1.43:1 might look better for some movies but definitely not all. But people often fall for he hype that IMAX is supposed to be better because the marketing says so, so therefor 1.43:1 is the only way to go apparently..

[@HeroesReforged]

IMAX is also releasing a ton of their documentaries on the Apple Vision Pro in 1.43:1. I wonder if some of these narrative films will be remastered with the 1.43:1 sequences restored to their full AR. At the very least, these should be included as special features on the Blu-ray.

Aspect ratio shouldn’t have anything to do with the size of the screen. If they want the movie to be 1.43:1 then release it in that format on all screens.

[@Drknnja]

1.33 used to be the dominant format before the wider screen formats of 1.66, 1.85 , 2.35 - 2.40 . To be true the aspect ratio should fit the subject matter of the film. The stupid trend of constant width wall to wall screens have destroyed the magic of the wide screen where the wide screen ratio makes the screen smaller destroying the reason for the wide screen format in the first place. Aspect ratio has nothing to do with the size of the screen. And shouldn't be what we are talking about. As a large number of theaters have these constant width wall to wall screens , the most sensible aspect ratio to present is the 1.85. A couple of big movies used the 2.1 to split the difference and IIRC Oppenheimer provided theaters with dual aspect ratios and instructed to play the version that make the most sense for their auditoriums.

100%. They needed to use existing gauges so labs could process it. No reason to get Kodak to make a new format that would have been much harder to get processed and handled.

Although in the end they did come up with their own splicing method to increase durability.

If is shot by IMAX cameras what diference it makes the format really dont understand. This big formats are as powerful as every big one,

[@chasx7062]

So basically its just TV 4:3 format on steroids overhype???

[@VariTimo]

IMAX theaters have different geometry. The point of IMAX is extra footage for the peripheral vision. All the important part of the image is the center. The framing is very different. The only thing IMAX 1.43:1 and 4:3 have in common is the screen shape. That’s why Nolan’s films are 16:9 on the Blu ray.

[@keaton718]

Wonder if AI will one day let any movie be IMAX framed with generative fill. I guess not true max if each shot wasn't framed like that by a director, but still why's stop at IMAX, generative fill every shot in a movie to full 360 VR.

[@FrameVoyager]

Honestly, probably a thing that will happen at some point. AI is going to change a lot of stuff good and bad

[@Sneedles]

Thumbnail is a bit misleading btw

[@lukasaumuller9811]

What countries have a cinemas with 1.43:1 screen ? I know mine doesn’t

[@Stryker580]

This aspect ratio sucks😢 It just buggs me, because we are regressing

[@Drknnja]

Since most theaters are 1.85 / 2.39 capable, these are the best formats for mass distribution. However every auditorium has a dominant format that provides the best experience. Unfortunately the constant width wall to wall cinema is better suited for the 1.85 ratio. The public became fooled by the megaplex adverts of wall to wall screens, which destroyed the visual impact of the wide screen formats in those auditoriums. Auditoriums designed to play 2.39 are the best to view the wide screen ratio. Unfortunately the constant width screens in many multiplexes damage or completely ruin the viewing experience.

[@zukacs]

Any chance someone shoots in 1:1 in future? :D

[@FrameVoyager]

Probably at this point haha. I know the lighthouse was really close at 1.19:1

[@mtvisionary]

Nope was 1:43.1 and godzilla full ratio seemed to have been reduced after checking latest wiki update but then again it's wiki so I can't really trust that

[@FrameVoyager]

Yeah nopes exclusion was an editing hiccup. Was in there but accidentally cut it out lol But yeah, information on this is all pretty suspect anyways 😅

[@jerichojeriel4983]

I think Zack Snyder’s Justice League had a limited release in Imax Theaters with it’s 1.43:1 ratio.

[@FrameVoyager]

I've looked into it, Zack Snyder even has an interview saying he shot 1.43:1 scenes but the process to get there sounds more like it ended up at 1.33:1 and they cropped the edges in. And while I've seen photos of this being shown in IMAX theaters, it's unclear if it's 1.43:1 or just 1.33:1 or maybe a slight zoom in. If someone can find me any technical specs that show that it was I'll be sure to add it to the pinned comments! I've just never seen anything definitive about it and most technical details or articles about the IMAX release don't say. 😅

[@jerichojeriel4983]

@@FrameVoyager ohhh, maybe because they shoot it in open matte Super 35mm not in IMAX camera that's why it's 1.33:1.

You forgot planet of the apes is also being shown in imax this year

[@FrameVoyager]

But not in 1.43:1 ratio. It's only been reported at IMAX:s secondary 1.90:1 ratio

[@scott9235]

@@FrameVoyager ohhhh ok that's funny how they advertise it is gonna be imax but not true imax 😂

[@FrameVoyager]

@@scott9235 Well technically it is still "true" IMAX. It's an expanded ratio they say you can only see in IMAX theaters. So you still do get more out of it, it's just not their like premiere version. Which honestly, most films rarely even release in that format.

[@scott9235]

@@FrameVoyager oh wow ok thanks for the info that's good to know

[@kalyanvejalla]

lol so unfair to call old IMAX DMR movies Liemaxes. They still got 15/70mm prints and played in GT venues. 99% of IMAX movies are DMR -- sure they aint as good as IMAX filmed movies but they are still phenomenal on that large GT screen! Also WW84 never got a 1.78:1 aspect ratio release, it was only 1.90:1 at home release and at all IMAX venues including GT dual laser. Also, Amazing Spiderman did not have any 1.43:1 scenes in IMAX. I saw in on IMAX film back in the day.

[@FrameVoyager]

Oh I didn't call those liemaxes 😅 but they didn't go to full 1.43:1. Liemax is also super tongue in cheek and more of just being sarcastic haha. Also, we didn't say Amazing Spiderman did release any of them, only there had been reports that there were potential scenes they never released.

[@ali_isaweeb5056]

You forgot nope (2022)

[@kalyanvejalla]

You missed Nope! That was shot in IMAX film and released only digitally to IMAX in 1.43:1. I saw it in 1.43:1 in dual laser IMAX and it was fantastic! Also Godzilla v Kong is not going to be 1.43:1 in IMAX, only 1.90:! There has been no official confirmation (from studio or creative team or from IMAX) that it will be 1.43:1. Do not use IMDb as a source for aspect ratios, its a terrrible source for aspect ratio details especially when the movie hasnt even released yet.

[@FrameVoyager]

Yep! We have that pinned on the comments above. Just an accidental cut while we were editing. We didn't use IMDb for Godzilla x Kong, had a different source. I don't generally trust IMDb haha but yeah looking like they either sidestepped doing that or it was just a rumor. We'll add a note

[@kalyanvejalla]

@@FrameVoyager Oh I see. Great video nonetheless I loved it. Where did u hear Joker 2 will release in 1.43:1? This is news to me and I'd love to know where you heard this. If what you say is true, I am so damn excited!

[@FrameVoyager]

@@kalyanvejalla I'll have dig up my source on that. Half the time they tease it but never release it 😅 but they're likely using the alexa65 which can do that format

[@arindraputri9368]

I thought justice league is one of em

[@gossymer.]

I was obsessed with IMAX until I realized I never paid attention to the top and bottom of the screen? Ive been enjoying screenx more since it feels more immersive and watching Dune 2 was so awesome

[@FrameVoyager]

I would say it's a different kind of immersion. ScreenX is pretty cool though, just not as prevalent

[@Bluboy30]

I saw OBLIVION at a 70mm IMAX theater and the expanded footage was shown at 1.90:1, no 1.43:1.

[@FrameVoyager]

That's what I thought. I had someone in the comments say they saw the 1.43:1 showing but it's hard to tell if any of that is accurate.

[@Bluboy30]

@@FrameVoyager Of course, I can't speak for that person's experience but the film was shown at our local true IMAX theater and there's only 1.90:1 aspect ratio for the "IMAX" sequences. It's been over 10 years since the film came out, maybe that person's memory is a bit mixed up? 😆

[@avdpost]

I saw it too. But it’s hard to remember, it did look incredible though since it was capture at 4K with an 8K diagonal bayer sensor , yay Sony

[@kshmr_k9]

Please let go of the term liemax. Your precious 1:43.1 is only available like 40 places on this planet. Only 30 of them show commercial movies. "Liemax" (digital, xenon, 2k) is available in 1500+ location. You really think the 1:43.1 generate more revenue than xenon? Yes, IMAX is at fault for not marketing the term properly but with dual laser it's time to let "liemax" as a term go

[@FrameVoyager]

It's literally just a joke 😅

[@tanakax25]

I feel like I've heard about IMAX being talked about more than I've actually ever watched IMAX footage, even in 1.90 😂 Fuck the IMAX hype I'm fine with Dolby Cinema.

[@rubendeschepper8514]

Godzilla is not confirmed for 1.43. Probably 1.9. Joker is also not confirmed for 1.43

[@FrameVoyager]

Currently listed on IMDb as well as a few other places. m.imdb.com/title/tt14539740/technical/ IMDb is generally about 90% accurate. But both show it has at least the ability to show in that format.

[@united6329]

NOPE

[@OtmanChh]

they need to start building these screens all over the world what's the point of a movie coming in that ratio if no one gets to even see it in said ratio

[@pwnwin]

Lmfao it doesnt matter. You're just stretching it up so it can be compressed with black bars on the side again. All that matters is the whole movie fit on your screen.
