The 5mm difference goes back to when extra space on film had to be reserved for the soundtrack. Nolan explains that because audio is now digital, the extra space is “purely a visual enhancement.”“The headline, for me, is by shooting on IMAX 70mm film, you’re really letting the screen disappear. You’re getting a feeling of 3D without the glasses. You’ve got a huge screen and you’re filling the peripheral vision of the audience. You’re immersing them in the world of the film.
The IMAX film resolution is almost 10 times more than a 35mm projector and each frame has some 18,000 pixels of resolution versus a home HD screen that has 1,920 pixels. Clearly, Nolan favors the IMAX 70mm film format but is conscious that it still has to be translated into different aspect ratios. “We have to plan very carefully because by shooting an IMAX film, you capture a lot of information,” he says.
“Your movie is going to translate very well to all the formats because you’re getting the ultimate amount of visual information… What you have to plan is how you then frame your imagery so that it can be presented in different theaters with equal success.”
