Laser projection, 70mm, varying sound, Blu-ray, IMAX, BFI….geeez , do I ever feel out of touch. I haven’t watched a movie in at least 12-15 years and haven’t been in a theater in a couple decades. I guess things have changed a bit.
I know the guy who churned-out a bajillion of those 70mm promotional film strips for this film.
Funny to see them selling for outrageous prices on Fleabay and other places.
Got any extras?
(Only kinda joking…)
Did you make up some popcorn?
Nope. Just consumed regular foodstuffs we have in the fridge. Also appreciated the ability to pause for a bathroom "intermission" given the long running time (roughly six hours including the special features disc).
All else being equal................ what might the cost difference be between renting the equipment to shoot digital Vs renting the camera, equipment and costs associated with film.
Similar...2x ... 3x to shoot film.?
Interestingly, this speech takes place in the theater formerly known (and christened) as the Kodak Theater. Motion picture film is not dead- it looked so dire a decade ago.Here is Hoyte van Hoytema's Oscar acceptance speech where he recommends the use of that "incredible new hip thing called celluloid."

On another subject, on any decent sized production the film/digital question isn’t much of an economic decision- they are about the same cost in the end.
Oh dear, I just checked here and can still watch it. Who else is experiencing problems?"this video is not available" perhaps only in the states?
I was really surprised to see the actual 65mm film (I assume an intermediate negative) being manually cut and "glued" in order to effect the edits.

The Academy Awards show is one of those broadcasts where the rights are closely protected. Most likely the excerpt would only be viewable up here in Canada if it was posted/hosted by whoever had the Canadian broadcast rights.
Colour timing is not an easy skill to have, and few still are experts. They do the editing of the movie digitally and then carry the cuts over to then apply to the negatives/internegatives. But they have to do the color twice as far as I am aware, once to the film prints, and then they match that color with the scans for the digital release. I personally appreciate the fully analog process, but most don't care, even though when you have a pure analog process you can far exceed the print resolution you would get with the 2K/4K scans.

The additional features disk includes discussion with the people who do the colour timing - film based - and introduce you to the woman who Christopher Nolan brings over for his films because she is the acknowledged expert on 65mm film cutting. From her accent, I'd say she is UK based.
I used to love going to the theater until my fellow humans decided it was a place to go chat and talk on their phones.
Movie theaters need to implement cell phone blocking.
