      I would argue that seeing One Battle After Another in IMAX 70MM definitely is an experience I can’t reproduce at home and was amazing btw. Unfortunately most people don’t have the opportunity to see it that way.

        Remove the 1st hour and I agree. It was way too long and the mom’s story i feel like could’ve been told as dialogue.

        The closest 70mm imax to me is not even on my continent

        To clarify, there are 70mm imax cinemas on my continent, but they happen to be even further away

      of course he knows that, big action movies have always sold more tickets.

      “We’re looking at a huge transition. First, documentaries disappeared from cinemas. Now, dramas only get finite time and people wait to see it on streamers.
