I don't care if its the only version sold or just something I would specifically have to buy but why can't I buy an Imax version of infinity war? They literally shot the entire movie in imax. Watching the dvd literally all 2.5 hours of it you are just watching part of what they shot.
Why do they put in all this effort to make an imax movie if people who dont go see it in the first few months will never get to see your full vision? It's not the like the ratio wouldnt work well on tvs right now you see big black bars and with imax youd just have smaller bars and more image. other ratios sometimes (like watching an old wide screen version of a movie on a 4:3 tv) you would get more picture but everything is smaller but thats not even the case here. you literally just get more.
And i think this also sucks for another reason. I was watching endgame in imax (no spoilers i promise) and im looking at the framing of the different scenes and it seems like the film makers know that there will be no imax bluray so the extra part of the screen we can see is usually filled with just extra environment but nothing important because everything important has to fit in the blu ray ratio or the blu ray will be unclear and suck.
What is going on here? Why cant we just fully commit to imax if we are going to market it year after year as the best way to watch a movie. the best way to watch it can only be seen a few times while its in theaters and even those viewings will be sub par because we have to still make and plan the movie like its not an imax movie. this is just insane to me.
I know the factor of limiting supply by having it be exclusive to the theater might sell some more tickets but if i was personally making a movie i would want everybody including people born in the future after i die to still see the whole thing and i wouldnt want to have to worry about safety zones and how to cut the footage later while im planning each shot.
