Watched F1 in Dolby Cinema last night. I might recommend seeing it in IMAX instead, since the ENTIRE film is shot in IMAX. On 8K laser, it looked a bit grainy. The audio was ridiculous. Probably the best sounding action movie I've seen in quite a while. Story is not entirely believable, but hey, it is a movie. It is not a completely mindless flick though. The character interaction is great. It is sort of The Man With No Name (pick one lol) meets Top Gun.

What is really the most fun here though is the IMAX shots from the driver's seat and around the track. This alone warrants seeing it in IMAX.

The video was a bit grainy?

It was shot using the Digital 6K IMAX Sony Venice camera as usual. So I would expect perfectly smooth video.

Going to see it in IMAX tomorrow!

So, is your Dolby Cinema stacking two 4k projectors? I’m not aware of any 8k laser projectors on the market. :)

You will see when you watch it. Some scenes are likely not shots from the IMAX cameras, though they claim the whole movie is. It is only in certain scenes, as the shots from the cars are extremely clear. They custom built the cameras just for this movie.

Partnering with Apple Original Films and the filmmakers, “F1®: The Movie was shot with more than a dozen newly designed IMAX-certified digital cameras strategically positioned to capture the speed, precision, and intensity of racing like never before, including Brad Pitt driving at 180 mph. The film is presented entirely in IMAX’s exclusive 1.90:1 expanded aspect ratio and with a custom sound mix tailored to IMAX’s acoustician-designed sound system, featuring the industry’s largest speakers, laser-aligned for pinpoint audio precision. Director Joseph Kosinski worked closely with IMAX, including reviewing camera tests at IMAX HQ during pre-production, and made specific creative and technical decisions to deliver a movie designed for the IMAX Experience®.

Yes, it is dual 4K projectors.

Only Dolby Cinema has the quality of the Dolby Vision Dual 4K laser projection system. The picture clarity and detail of both 2D and 3D movies is so lifelike it has to be seen to be believed.


The TRON:Ares trailer looked amazing too!!!!!
