By the time you’ve gone from the box office to the ticket taker to the concession stand to the actual auditorium, you’ll have passed so many IMAX logos and IMAX movie posters that you’ll never watch an Image Minimum movie again. So just let that IMAX propaganda pour over you. If you must spend roughly twice the amount of a standard movie ticket, this is the best way to experience Dead Reckoning. An acoustically refined IMAX theater absolutely envelops audiences in dialogue, sound effects, and score. None of Tom Cruise’s death defying acts in Dead Reckoning were filmed to fill a several-story screen, but there’s another selling point to the IMAX experience: the sound quality. (Just take a look at this press release explaining Dune’s two very different IMAX experiences or this interview in which Christopher Nolan details the many ways to see Oppenheimer!) The catch: only films shot on IMAX’s 65mm film were actually meant to fill that very tall IMAX screen. So which M:I movies were intended to be experienced in IMAX? Some, but not all, of Ghost Protocol and Fallout, was shot on 65mm film and so the movie is described as “filmed for IMAX.” Dead Reckoning used IMAX-certified cameras, but not 65mm film, and is therefore described as “shot for IMAX.” Rogue Nation was only “digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of an IMAX Experience.” It’s all a bit confusing. The resulting images aren’t just clearer, thanks to the film stock (65mm, as opposed to traditional 35mm film), they are taller (IMAX screens take up a more square-like 4:3 ratio, as opposed to a wider, more typical 2.39:1). IMAX was primarily used for short documentary films until Christopher Nolan decided to shoot roughly half an hour of 2008’s The Dark Knight on large, loud, unwieldy, and expensive IMAX cameras.
IMAX standing for Image Maximum is as ridiculous as the IMF standing for Impossible Mission Force.
Why Shouldn’t I See Dead Reckoning in Standard Digital Projection?īecause a Premium Large Format (PLF) screen like IMAX, RPX, or Dolby Cinema is nearby. No crew needed, no threat of mass death, and you’re lowkey impressed when he does the part recommended for two people … all by himself. It’s like asking Ethan Hunt to build an IKEA bookshelf. The rate of failure on this mission is low. There are no upcharges and no surprises when you use your Regal Unlimited Pass to see Mission: Impossible on a regular big screen. Why Should I See Dead Reckoning in Standard Digital Projection?īecause the price is what you expect it to be and the experience feels like a movie has always felt, only with significantly less film grain than you remember from your childhood. You know when it’s Saturday afternoon and you go to a movie, one in which Tom Cruise isn’t running through a city on the other side of the world to stop a baddie from blowing something up? Or, how about this, you know when you buy a ticket for whatever’s playing and the price is what you expect it to be and the experience feels like a movie has always felt, only with significantly less film grain than you remember from your childhood? That’s standard digital projection. Here’s what I learned, five screens and 14 mostly wonderful hours later. To help you avoid choice paralysis, I spent the better part of one week watching Dead Reckoning in every format available to me in New York City. Today, with the seventh M:I movie upon us, there are myriad options: you can see Dead Reckoning Part One on a big screen (Standard Digital Projection), on a gigantic screen (IMAX), on a really big screen (RPX), on a stretched (ScreenX), or in pure chaos (4DX). But Ghost Protocol and its antecedents - 2015’s Rogue Nation and 2018’s Fallout, the fifth and sixth entries into the franchise, respectively - didn’t just propose audiences watch the savior of cinema dangle from various extremely high things on any screens, they suggested audiences do so on the biggest, most dynamic screens they could possibly find. In 2011, the Mission: Impossible films shifted from action story vehicles of varying quality and narrative coherence to unapologetic stunt spectaculars with one clear reason to see them: Tom Cruise risking his life to entertain you.
