Have booked to watch this at The Ronson Theatre until I can find good seats at BFI IMAX. Every performance I have checked until the end of March seem to be almost fully sold out already!

That is another brilliant production Kim. I can see the amount of work, time and effort that went into it so I hope it proves to be another blockbuster for you. It certainly deserves to be. John.

I love watching these behind the scenes videos so thanks for making another! Looking forward to watching Dune: Part Two in just over a week :D

Thanks, travelling from Ireland to watch at the Science museum and the following day at BFI

Great video as always! I would argue the 70MM IMAX delivers slightly higher resolution, as it's basically compression free, and depending on what resolution they printed the reels in, it could deliver more than 4K The IMAX Dual Laser system uses a vertical anamorphic lens to desqueeze a 1.43 image packed in a 1.90 container, so you kinda see stretched pixels from the 4096 x 2160 container. 15/70 IMAX theoretically has more vertical resolution and detail, but since it's only printed from 4K DI (like the DRM prints from mid 2000s) and not a fully optical process like Oppenheimer, it could feel less sharp than Oppenheimer's 15/70 experience Furthermore, Dune 2 was shot and reformatted in all the different deliverables, certain 1.43 shots are cropped from the 1.90 version, and some scope shots have more width in the frame. It could be worth catching in Cineworld Leicester Square IMAX, as well as Odeon Leicester Square Dolby Cinema for Londoners!

fascinating content you are so lucky to be able to access behind the scenes in these theatres I would love to visit these cinemas some day your content makes me appreciate the convenience of just placing a disc in a player and watching a movie in my home cinema

I alway wish that they would replay Dune part 1 in the theaters just before the release of Dune 2. It should be like that for all movies !

I'm too watching it twice at both these venues; I was late for the BFI ticket release and the only showing I could get was a week after release date so I needed to get in on another showing on its actual first day release otherwise I'd die from the anxiety of having to wait for BFI and found out, to my surprise, the Ronson Theatre was practically empty. I have a feeling it's a hidden gem that people either have no idea exists or think it only shows documentaries.

*"Available in limited theatres around the world."* sad IMAX Prague noises

Yet another fantastic video, it's great to see the IMAX process being documented for us to see. Wish I lived close to one of these fantastic cinemas, unfortunately there are no such IMAX' screens in Ireland. I have tickets to Dune Part Two in IMAX Belfast which is a 1.43 screen that uses 1.90 single laser 4k projection. Still the sheer size of the screen and the power of the 12 channel sound makes it an experience like no other.

Hello Bored Tech, another excellent video. Thank you.

Great Video!

Great video as always. Just came out of the 15/70 screening of Tenet at BFI avd we saw a new scene from Dune Part 2 . Absolutely amazing!! Alas the 70mm trailer print arrived too late to be spliced on to Tenet so it was DCP instead.

Travelled to London to watch it at the Ronson Theatre London Science Museum. Best cinema experience ever! Will be watching it again in a Dolby Cinema screen locally. @bored_tech have you seen it at both venues now? Will you be doing a follow up review and do you have a favourite?

Saw the midnight screening at BFI IMAX in 70mm and it was incredible! Going the Science Museum next week too!

I saw it at Showcase de Lux Southampton on XPLUS, which is a Barco 4K laser, 19.6m width projection with Dolby Atmos. Compared to a regular screen in the same cinema, it was noticeably brighter even with the bigger screen, and Atmos worked very well with Dune Part 2. All seats are electric recliners with feet rests, which made for a very comfortable experience.

Fantastic video great job

Sadly, our local IMAX 70mm projector is still down after it broke at the very end of the Oppenheimer run, with the next closest not receiving a film print either. Lucky to at least have a dual laser system about 3.5 hours from me, will be my first time seeing a digital 1.43 showing!

I'm going to watch it 3 times :) I saw it first on opening day in my local IMAX, then had tickets for BFI on Monday as that was the earliest I could get them for, and have booked the Science Museum on Friday.

I'm watching Dune part two at the Manchester Printworks IMAX. So excited!

Thank you

I'm booked to watch both part 1 and part 2 in 1.43:1 at the printworks IMAX in Manchester. 12.0 channel audio!

sobria y elegante sus reportajes, saludos desde Chile.

Hi, love seeing your behind the scenes videos of the BFI and Science Museum. Something is confusing me though. I keep hearing that IMAX 1570 film is limited to only 6 channels of audio, but, if the audio is coming on a digital disc, then why is there a limit for the number of channels? It's not like the audio is printed on the 1570 film...

Even before watching this excellent video, I planned to watch Dune: Part Two at both of these venues. Had hoped to do both on the same day but that doesn’t seem likely because of how well tickets at BFI IMAX have sold. Will likely opt for Dolby Cinema as my second viewing on the same day as The Ronson Theatre then do BFI IMAX as and when I can get good seats.

Really cool channel! Subscribed immediately. Regarding the film-out process mentioned at 3:21: That last step is very much needed, at least if they went about this the same way they did with Part 1. They captured digitally on Alexa, did all VFX-work on a digital master, went through a rough grading process, then transferred to 35 mm film, scanned that back into digital and then finally went through a proper grading session. So effectively what you‘ll be seeing on IMAX film will be limited to 4K resolution and feature a more pronounced grain structure than proper IMAX film would show. It’s a bit of an odd decision to transfer this to 15/70. The only benefit an analog print might have over the digital IMAX Laser version would be the slight increase in vertical resolution over IMAX‘s anamorphic digital projection as well as the absence of speckle. The aspect ratio thing is curious though. Why intercut with 1.90 if the entire thing is already shot spherically to begin with? I‘ll be watching it at the Karlsruhe IMAX in digital laser. The same town also features the old Schauburg cinema with a deeply curved cinerama screen and they‘ll be showing a 5/70 print so I might watch it twice as well, although I‘ll be loosing 1.43 in the 5/70 version.

Another great BTS of the tech behind the screen (or shall I say projector?!)

Amazing video as Always! I will go to see this in imax dual laser at uci orio in Italy, even if there the aspect ratio is 1.90. But planning to do a trip also to arcadia melzo for 70mm even if it's not imax there. They're both about 29 metres wide! Would love to see something like this at bfi or imax sciene museum in london with their 1.43 imax aspect ratio

they could do the 12 ch sound in on 70mm they would just have to mix the 2 the film with the digital presentiation it would take a new program just unhook the sonics ddp and hook up the new 12 channel system in it place then build a emulator to control it

Ask them what is the crossover frequency for the sub bass in IMAX 12.0

Watching this at my local grindhouse, the Cineplex Vaughan Colossus. Was debating between the 70mm print and the next-nearest full IMAX screen, Scotiabank Toronto’s dual laser.

Booked BFI IMAX at 8:30pm on March 1st, then Science Museum at 7:15pm on March 2nd!

Best non IMAX I’ve been so far is at Battersea Power Station. Saw Dune 2 there and at Odeon West End. Screen and sound way better at Battersea - seats better at OWE tho

Excellent video! I saw the first part in 3D in a US Imax theatre and it was impressive in spite of a lot of bad word-of-mouth on the internet, which appears to have had an influence on part 2 not being shown theatrically in 3D, which is too bad. I'll be curious to hear your opinion on the digital to 70mm transfer. it doesn't seem worth the expense to transfer a digitally shot movie to 70mm film unless that's the only way for some Imax theaters to offer it at its best.

I live in Hungary and we only have a xenon imax projector so we can't se it in 1: 43: 1. I am sad about it.

It may be worth seeing Dune 2 on Dolby Cinema over at Odeon Leicester Square or Odeon West End also. The Dolby sound mix for the first Dune film was amazing: lots of 360-degree (eg: overhead) effects that aren't really possible with the IMAX 6-channel system.

What is my custom saints row character doing on youtube

when you next visit can you ask what a "cleaning run" involves?

1.43:1 screen is my choice.

Why cant you have 12chanel play with the 70mm film and not use the disk for the 70mm? Im sure it could be synced up?

So if the film was originally shot using 1:1.9 and then scanned onto 1:1.43 film (effectively letterboxing it, but as the director intended), does that mean that watching a 1:1.9 digital version is effectively letterboxed again?

I heard the movie sound is also mixed in Auro 3D. Is it true ?

got my tickets for 1:43 ratio in Indianapolis. center of the theater. can't wait.

Unfortunately this movie was not filmed with IMAX cameras

Thank you
