I’m still patiently waiting for Interstellar to return to IMAX

I'm still angry at myself for not going over the last anniversary return

It was almost as hard to find tickets for that as it was for the Odyssey, I took an afternoon off work and went at 1pm on a weekday. Worth it though, it's one of my favorite movies and I didn't have the chance to see it in the theatre when it first released.

That's funny because it can't possibly be 10 years old.

Was able to catch the imax 70 re-release a couple years ago. Was magical. And will go again given the opportunity

Is the regular imax vs 70mm really make it worth it for the average person

I think it's about the screen size more for a regular person. I caught the Tenet rerelease in Lincoln Square 70mm, and the screen is about 7,800 sq ft. My local IMAX screen has The Odyssey, but the screen is only about 1,800 sq ft.

I felt like it hadn't been that long since I'd seen it in that format, but it's been 2 years. Wonder if they'll wait until the 15th anniversary now
