Every Movie Released in IMAX 1.43:1 - True IMAX

VIDEO NOTE: Like an idiot I cut out the "Nope" in the edit for some reason. That was also released in 1.43:1

It's very annoying that they almost never release the larger versions on 4K Blu-ray.

We need more 4k blurays with the expanded ratio. Not 1.43:1 but 1.78:1 like Nolan does

Watching Dune Part 2, never seeing a SINGLE black bar scene, and it was all 1.43:1, it was insane.

I’ve only seen 4 imax 70mm films oppenhiemer, interstellar, tenet, and dune 2. They were all some of the best movie experiences I’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend 1.43 imax enough

I used to work in the DMR department at IMAX! Nice to hear someone actually talk about it.

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

THE FULL LIST: NOPE The Dark Knight (2008) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) The Dark Knight Rises (2012) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) Interstellar (2014) Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) Appears to have been released in some sense in 1.43:1 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Dunkirk (2017) First Man (2018) The Lion King (2019) Tenet (2020) Dune (2021) No Time to Die (2021) Eternals (2021) 1.43:1 aspect ratio (IMAX GT Laser venues only) Lightyear (2022) Oppenheimer (2023) Dune: Part Two (2024) The ant bully Happy Feet Kung Fu Panda (2008) Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Watching First Man in IMAX 1.43:1, was amazing. The transition to the big screen, perfectly timed wenn the door opens and the you where able to see the Moon. The whole cinema was quiet, except for my little Wow. Also seeing Nope, with its transition through the window. Those where two awesome Cinema Moments.

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.

Fun little video of a question we asked ourselves after watcing Dune Part 2 in IMAX. Just how many films have actually been released in FULL IMAX? Let us know if we missed any!

This is such a niche but well done video, with great detail and concise information. Subbed! ❤

Damn, never realized it’s iPad screen ratio too. I’m happy now.

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.

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.

I am saving this video to watch later in a VR chat world that has a giant 1.43:1 aspect ratio screen.

The ONLY film actually released in 1.43:1 is Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021).

This vid could not be more my jam, I love us aspect ratio nerds

I agree with the idea of including the IMAX version on Blu-ray, but I think it's even more important to screen the IMAX version on a regular basis.

Lion king I believe was blown up to fit 1:43 1 because I saw it at the massive Lincoln center imax on release and it was pixelated as hell. It looked like one of those David attenbourogh docs where you could see where they where obviously cropping in lol
