When it was first announced, the idea of filming the first two episodes of Marvel’s new ABC series Inhumans with IMAX cameras and releasing them together in theaters ahead of the network premiere seemed like a fun and clever way of helping the show stand out in an increasingly cluttered superhero marketplace.…
The fad of post-converting every studio tentpole into 3-D that’s been around for the past seven years or so has officially gone on for six and a half years too long at this point. And while there are certainly films that are worth seeing in the format, those are the exception, not the rule, something it looks like…
With the premiere now just three months away, Marvel’s Inhumans has dropped its first full trailer, and it’s full of royal family strife and meaningful looks. Once again, most of the talking (and threatening) is done by Maximus (Iwan Rheon), who stages a coup against his brother, Black Bolt (Anson Mount), the leader…
Since Disney and Lucasfilm are in no hurry to release a trailer, it seems like we’ll probably never get more information about Star Wars: The Last Jedi than what we already have—which is pretty much just the title, and even that isn’t especially clear. Thanks to a story from Variety about Disney signing a big deal…
The ABC adaptation of Marvel’s Inhumans has been slowly winding its way through pre-production, landing a director, getting an IMAX screen debut, and more. If it sometimes feels like it would take less time to get to the aliens’ home on the moon than to arrive at the premiere, take comfort in knowing that not only do…
We already knew the upcoming ABC series of Marvel’s Inhumans would be getting a larger-than-life debut by having its first two episodes filmed and premiered in IMAX on theater screens around the world. The eight-episode program (that is not meant to replace the formerly planned movie or be a spin-off of Agents Of…
IMAX screens are big, but they’re not quite “you can see it from the moon” big. So it’s unlikely the Inhumans will be able to watch their own series premiere, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The occasionally moon-dwelling beings are getting an ABC show rather than a feature film, and now, details of the unusual…
There are three things everyone should by now know about Christopher Nolan: he’s red-green colorblind, most of his characters have dead wives, and he’s a digital skeptic. (Also, his older brother once tried to escape from Chicago’s futuristic, wedge-shaped downtown correctional center by tying together a bunch of bed…
With artists as gifted and accomplished as director Terrence Malick, it’s usually best to presume they know what they’re doing, and that each new work is worth spending a lot of time unpacking—even when that seems more like drudgery than entertainment. But Malick hasn’t made it easy to give him the benefit of the…
If you’ve always thought the Harry Potter viewing experience lacked a certain level of nausea-inducing fly-over shots, neck-craning, and comments from the audience about how big the screen is, then IMAX has the solution to your weirdly specific issue. As announced on the official IMAX website, the original Harry…
Rihanna’s latest single, “Sledgehammer,” was written for Star Trek Beyond, Justin Lin’s latest adventure starring Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise gang. Turns out the music video for the track will also be a cinematic event as Paramount announced today that it will premiere in IMAX theaters on Thursday. Here’s betting…
Earlier this month, we came across a fan-made (though probably while in full cosplay) infographic that served as a Deadpool primer for anyone intrigued by the movie’s quippy, bloody trailer who might otherwise be unfamiliar with the merc with a mouth. But it was a little light on chimichangas, an oversight that this…
Deadline reports that Star Trek Beyond officially will be released in IMAX theaters worldwide on its July 22, 2016 opening. This is hardly a surprise, since Paramount Pictures recently adjusted the film’s release date to gain entry to more IMAX theaters, but now that it’s official, you can once again edify your…
The new IMAX trailer for The Walk is basically a collage of all the trailers we’ve seen so far that emphasizes how batshit crazy and terrifying it would be to even stand near the edge of a World Trade Tower, let alone walk between the towers on a tightrope. All of this is accomplished with digital effects and a…
In Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Letter To D’Alembert On Spectacles, the legendary French thinker chastises the theater for dumbing down citizens, corrupting their morals, and weakening the spirit of a society. “Also,” he adds at the end, “that 2015 Fantastic Four movie is just going to royally suck shit.” When Hollywood…
If you somehow missed Mad Max: Fury Road during its original run in theaters this summer, you’ll have a chance at redemption when it hits IMAX next week. ComingSoon reports that George Miller’s film will have a weeklong engagement on IMAX 3D screens beginning September 11. The film’s image and sound quality has been…
There’s an old truism about Hollywood entertainment: Spending more money to make a movie always improves it. Exhibit A? Titanic. Exhibit B? Battleship. Honestly, who can even tell those two movies apart, given they’re both about boats and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce and market? And now that the…
This November, you can see James Bond on the only screen large enough to do his turtleneck justice. /Film reports that Spectre will be getting a global IMAX release on November 6, the same date as its theatrical release in the U.S. But because Sam Mendes isn’t shooting the film with IMAX cameras—an extra effort that…
Fifty Shades Of Grey has already sent fans into a frenzy with the impressive girth of its ticket sales, but even now it’s suddenly expanding, spreading wide to 75 new IMAX screens it will fill with its enormous size. Oh! Viewers had already prepared their quivering eyeholes to receive the film, moistening them with…
The cry has gone up among studio finance heads across the land: “IMAX 3D conversion today, IMAX 3D conversion tomorrow, IMAX 3D conversion forever.” And so comes the unsurprising news that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 2 will be digitally remastered for IMAX 3D, providing yet another way to charge higher prices…
