I could make a 2 hour trip to see it in 70mm, or see it in IMAX in my neighborhood. Is the difference significant enough to warrant a special trip?

It's a 3 hour biopic, just watch it at home.

I’m driving 2hr to see it in 70mm imax. Closest screen is in Vancouver, so we’re making a long weekend trip out of it. I think if you like movies a lot and you want to make your own event out of it, go for it.

We used to have a 70mm theatre in my city and when they’d do events like for epic movies it was incredible. I feel like Oppenheimer might be similar

I saw the Hateful 8 in 70mm, and it was totally worth it. But, it had an intermission, and dialog was easy to follow.

But Nolan films are a different verse l beast, I'm going to wait to watch it at home cause, pause, rewind and subtitles.

Watching movies at home is too good, theaters can't compare in my personal opinion

You can't get the experience of watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent with a packed house of strangers who all had no idea what they were in for. Or Everything Everywhere All At Once.

I go to theaters for the social interaction.
