Film School Rejects: By 2013 Half of Movie Theaters Will Be Digital

  • Grant Vuill · 1 year ago
    What will the aspect ratios be in the new Digital IMAX multiplex theatre arrangement? IMAX 15/70mm ratio is 1.44:1. The cinema standard is 1.85:1 for cropped wide screen projection and 2.39:1 for anamorphic full frame resolution.

    What will be the difference in quality from DLP Cinemas projection systems and the IMAX DLP digital solution? Can IMAX squeeze 10 times the resolution into the DLP 2K projectors to be used as they do in their 15/70mm film process which is 10 times the resolution of standard 35mm 1.85:1 projection?

    I'm looking forward to seeing some new films made in 2K digital, to be projected digitally--hopefully in 3D. IMAX set a standard for big screen presentation. How will the new digital projection systems they've developed with TI's DLP compare to standard digital projection in non-IMAX theatres? Thanks. Grant

    This is TERRIBLE!

    Dude, if film is gone think about it, when you watch the movie
    20-30 years after it comes out, it'll look the same/brand new...isn't that kinda boring?
    It'll just take the fun of films away :/
