Now that streaming is in the doldrums and everyone has returned to theaters to see first-run movies, just going to any theater is no longer enough. You have to enjoy them in the best possible conditions. In what kind of movie theater do you have to see oppenheimer and Barbie?
The problem is that many production companies insisted until a few months ago on discredit going to the moviesfavoring simultaneous releases or streaming only, because they wanted to promote their own platforms.
The best rooms to see Oppenheimer and Barbie
Now that the box office is essential again, the problem is that many cinemas have closed in times of a pandemic, or due to the pressure of streaming premieres, they have removed their best roomsthe most expensive to maintain.
That is why one thing is the rooms that the directors recommend, and quite another, that they exist in your area…
A few days ago, Oppenheimer’s director, Christopher Nolan, recommended his favorite room and seat to see his film about the creator of the atomic bomb.
Nolan recommends watching oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX format. Something that is not surprising, since he has been one of the main defenders of the IMAX format for years, and that is why his films have preferences in IMAX theaters.
Nolan even gets wet with the seat: “When I’m in a theater with a Cinemascope aspect ratio, I like to be near the front, in the middle of the third row.“, Explain. “When I’m in a 1.43:1 IMAX room, I like to be a bit behind the center line, right in the middle“.
The problem is that, in Spain, there are only three IMAX theaters with 70mm support: the Phenomena Experience cinema, in the city of Barcelona, the Palafox cinemas, in Zaragoza, and the Aragonia cinemas, also in Zaragoza.
For her part, the director of Barbie, Greta Gerwig, does not attach as much importance to the format as to the HDR and sound:
According to HobbyConsolas.com, Greta Gerwig opts for a room Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos sound system. This is what he says in an interview Collider.
“My reaction when I saw it in Dolby Vision with Atmos was like ‘Oh, it’s just beautiful, I could cry’, I saw shapes in the clouds, in the background that I’ve never seen before. It was outrageously beautiful and every part of Barbie Land was so much richer and more vibrant. The same was true of the real world. For me, it just turned everything emotionally into a 10“.
The Dolby Vision imaging system, also present in many televisions, stands out because it can apply HDR scene by scene, instead of the same level of HDR for the entire movie, as HDR10 does.
HDR provides more natural colors and a greater dynamic range in chiaroscuro areas.
Dolby Atmos, for its part, offers virtual 3D sound even above and below the viewer. Quite a few quality venues have both picture and sound standards.
