See Why DUNE: PART TWO on 70MM IMAX Film is so rare

There are only 12 theatres in the world that can screen Dune: Part Two in true IMAX 15/70mm film, and I'm visiting the IMAX theatre with the largest screen in the world to do so at IMAX Melbourne, in Australia, to discover the projection process and learn why this film version is so rare.

IMAX Melbourne is one of only two IMAX screens in the Southern Hemisphere, and the only with 1570 film and 4K IMAX Digital projection capabilities, with movie-goers coming from all parts of the world to see Dune: Part Two in this exclusive format.

I had the incredible opportunity of seeing what the process looks like, in the projection booth and the rare experience movie-goers get to be apart of.

He's done it again! Another IMAX behind the scenes masterpiece. Nice job Kirk!

Driving with a friend 3 hours to Indy to see this 3 hour movie and then 3 hours home, WORTH IT.

Saw Dune 2 in 70mm at this very IMAX theatre yesterday, lucky to live in Melbourne! It was an incredible experience, the screen takes up your whole field of view and the bass shakes the seats, you could almost feel 'The Voice' going through you, amazing.

I'm glad Denis filmed dune part 2 specifically for IMAX!!

[weplayatnight]

Super lucky to see it in 70mm Imax here in Arizona. Super surprised we even have this screen here but im very grateful for that. Saw Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX and cant wait for Dune Part 2

One of Twelve - just like the heptapods in Arrival LOL

JUST TWELVE??? WOW. I saw it at the Metreon last Sunday. I have never seen anything as immersive as I did with Dune Part Two in 15/70. This sets the bar in film making and I hope that more talented directors are given the freedom by the studios to make more epic films like Dune.

I am so lucky to like close to one of the few IMAX locations with a film projector. It's such a treat to be able to see these special movies in such a format

[Somniumancer]

It was so amazing to be at the early fan screening seeing Dune: Part Two front and center, just absolutely life changing of an experience. It was well worth the largest screen possible

[samfilmkid]

I live in Boston and had to go all the way out to Providence, Rhode Island to see “Oppenheimer” in IMAX70mm. It was totally worth it.

I will do it again for Dune.

I’m a 45 minute subway ride to the AMC Lincoln Square in New York- so happy and surprised to see that it’s one of only 12 theaters in the world in true IMAX 15/70. I’ve already reserved seats for 2 showings of Dune: Part Two. Just went to see the reissue of Dune Part Two and Tenet- and both films still wowed me even though I’ve seen them multiple times. Thanks for the video!

Saw Dune at AMC Metreon in San Francisco. The theatre was packed….at 6am. Just goes to show there is an audience out there who is hungry for this type of cinema. Let’s hope this opens a path forward for fellow filmmakers to try the same!

Incredible work for such a small channel.

[sjeunson]

Just saw it in 4K digital IMAX version near Boston Massachusetts. Spectacular!!! I have no problems with this format. And the Audio was amazing.

[ziggybadans]

I drove from Sydney to Melbourne to see this on IMAX 1570, just like I did for Oppenheimer, it was so incredible!

[videoplusdvd]

The Kramer IMAX Theatre in Regina Canada still uses 15/70mm film. It had a very successful run of “Oppenheimer” last year, but ran “Dune”, Pt. 2 in laser digital.

Crazy never thought that Film were still a thing in theaters. Saw Dune Part 2 today, in an IMAX probably not true IMAX but the bass and all was crazy never felt so much and so strong bass. At one scene, not mentioning wichone, the bass was so strong it felt like the atmospheric pressure increased and I felt my eardrums move with it, never have I ever felt something likes this. It wasn't just vibration but realy like the feeling you get when you go up a mountain or into a tunnel. IMAX is just crazy.

Went to Melbourne on a vacation was lucky enough to see IMAX 1570 dune on the last screening.
Will never forget the experience.

[chrismccrth]

I saw this at IMAX Melbourne. It was exceptional. I preferred Laser. The sound had more channels and had more contrast.
The quality wasnt as good as Nolan IMAX films as the digital intermedate is a 4k digital file. Then transferred onto 1570.
This tends to be forgotten by many folk leaving comments.
But the audio and overall presentation was stellar.
Nothing beats shot in 15/70 then projected in 15/70

I saw Oppenheimer at West Edmonton Mall in IMAX 70mm was an amazing experience! Was disappointed (and jealous) we didn't get a Dune screening in 70mm film again but the IMAX digital was still a great experience.
